I like my music like I like my summer: distorted, loud and full of gain. Fans of Dinosaur Jr.’s classic album Bug have everything to gain because you have a chance to hear it in it’s entirety this Saturday (6/25) at 9:30 Club. This is the album that brought the Dino boys to the mainstream and sparked the wave of indie that ravaged the early ‘9os and the boom boxes of every crush-worthy skater boy.
If hearing Bug in it’s entirety isn’t mind blowing enough, the band will be interviewed by Henry Rollins, live, on stage, and the entire thing will be filmed as part of In the Hands of the Fans. Nothing like ranting banter to keep you entertained.
Supergroup OFF! are opening, and I’m pretty stoked because I missed them last time they were in town, and friends say they were amazing. Keith Morris (Black Flag/Circle Jerks), Dimitri Coats (Burning Brides), Steven McDonald (Redd Kross), and Mario Rubalcaba (Earthless/Hot Snakes/Rocket From the Crypt) play a fast and furious set similar to (RIP) Jay Reatard’s twenty-minute approach, a thrashing rock and roll explosion that will leave you feeling breathless.
Are you in the mood for three shows in one? The Vinyl District is giving away a pair of tickets to Dinosaur Jr. with Henry Rollins and Off! at the 9:30 Club Saturday (6/25).
