DESCRIPTION:Tickets: $40*\, $60**\, $80\, $100\n\n 'Dinosaur Jr. set the st
 andard for convulsive indie-rock guitar fireworks in the Eighties. Incredi
 bly\, the band's original lineup - guitarist J Mascis\, bassist Lou Barlow
  and drummer Murph - hasn't lost a thunderous step.' – Rolling Stone mag
 azine\n\nThey were the alt-rock pioneers of their day\, their simple alt-r
 ock-folk-country songs spiked with massive amounts of guitar noise\, a qui
 et-loud dynamic\, metal riffs\, long\, wild lead solos and nasal drone. De
 spite their famous apathy\, they became a cult phenomenon\, their sludgy\,
  noise-drenched sound influencing bands like Nirvana and Pixies and sparki
 ng the grunge revolution of the early 90s. They were Dinosaur Jr.\, slacke
 r revolutionaries of a new crushingly loud sound and underdog heroes of th
 e American indie underground.\n\nIn the beginning\, in the mid-80s\, they 
 were J Mascis on drums and Lou Barlow on bass. Then Murph joined as drumme
 r and Mascis switched to lead guitar on which he emulated the drums\, givi
 ng birth to his decibel-defying guitar sound.\n\nBetween 1985 and 1997\, t
 hey released seven milestone albums\, the earliest of which saw them launc
 hing into the freeform noise and unrestrained yet melodic solos which earn
 ed them a loyal following. In that time\, around 1989\, the original parti
 es of Mascis and Barlow parted ways: Barlow finding success with Sebadoh\,
  and Mascis enjoying further success throughout the early nineties with Di
 nosaur Jr - and a succession of bass players - before finally embarking on
  a solo career.\n\nThen in 2007\, almost 20 years after they had parted wa
 ys un-amicably\, they shocked oldtime fans – who might have given their 
 ratty flannel shirts to the Salvation Army long ago but had not forgotten 
 – with the release of a new album Beyond. Going beyond being a throwback
  album\, Beyond was what NME critics called “a genuine monster”\, pick
 ing up from where the original three had left off two decades ago and\, th
 is time\, delivering the goods with an even tighter cohesion and dynamism.
 \n\nTwo years later\, deep in the heart of Amherst\, Massachusetts\, past 
 the apple farms\, hiking trails\, farmers’ markets\, college campuses\, 
 New England homesteads\, vintage guitar stores and hay rides\, all three h
 uddled in the cosy warren of J Mascis’ home studio\, set up mics\, plugg
 ed in the fuzz boxes\, and recorded to Pro Tools yet another bunch of song
 s that harked back to the day when they hated one another’s guts and mad
 e fuzzed-out alt-rock the rage.\n\nThe result\, 2009’s Farm\, has since 
 become their most critically-lauded effort since 1988's breakthrough effor
 t\, Bug. Farm captures the energy of a band 20 years their junior and with
  majestic solos\, tightly-locked-in rhythms\, fantastic songwriting and fu
 rious shredfests\, shows the band to be in better form than ever. \n\nPurc
