Dinosaur Jr. tours, eardrums melt nationwide

Maybe the Dinosaur Jr. reunion got a bit lost in the shuffle when every '80s band with a cult following started touring again. But guess what? J. Mascis, Lou Barlow and Murph don't play this "one-off" nonsense. When they reconvene, these guys are in it for the long haul. So, with this year's scorcher Beyond now firmly in the group's rearview mirror, another tour arrives. J. and Lou sure must have buried that old hatchet a few miles underground.

In addition to fulfilling the engagements listed below, Dinosaur Jr. has contributed b-side "Yer Son" to the Free Yr Radio campaign's CD compilation, with proceeds benefiting the same types of independent-minded radio stations that helped break Dinosaur Jr. in the first place. The album's out in select stores now (see the link above to find out where).
