One month from today the Sebadoh reunion tour hits Milwaukee’s Shank Hall. And by “reunion,” I mean the classic line-up of Lou Barlow, Jason Loewenstein, and Eric Gaffney. Gaffney’s been out of the picture since ’93, but I’m glad he’s back in the fold. Early 90’s Sebadoh could be broken down roughly into three components: Barlow’s lovelorn fare, Gaffney’s freewheeling mindfuck feel-bad psychedelia, and Loewenstein splitting the difference between those extremes. Barlow’s going to get plenty of press this year as he’s also touring with the original line-up of Dinosaur Jr, so let’s devote a bit of time to Gaffney. Here are three Gaffney-led Sebadoh songs:
mp3: Sebadoh – Limb by Limb (from Sebadoh III)
mp3: Sebadoh – Crisis (from Smash Your Head on the Punk Rock)
mp3: Sebadoh – Elixir is Zog (from Bubble & Scrape)
I’ve seen Sebadoh twice. Once in Madison for the Bakesale tour. The band (with Bob Fay as the third member) gave a solid, satisfying (if unremarkable) performance. A few years later I saw the band in Houston support the The Sebadoh album, and the show was frustratingly sloppy. Cross your fingers. Let’s hope they practiced for this tour!
Visit the sites below. All sites have free mp3’s, but some music on Barlow’s site is streamed.
