Dinosaur Jr announce Bristol SWX show
Legends of alternative rock Dinosaur Jr have announced that they’ll play Bristol’s SWX this March.
The appearance comes off the back of their latest studio album Give a Glimpse of What Yer Not which they brought to a sold out Motion a few years ago. Needless to say this will be the perfect chance for those who missed out on tickets the first time around.
The band were largely responsible for returning lead guitar to indie rock and, along with their peers the Pixies, they injected late-’80s alternative rock with monumental levels of pure guitar noise. As the group’s career progressed, it turned into a vehicle for frontman J Mascis’ songwriting and playing.
Having spent four years apart ahead of their last studio album, and now having toured it for two years, this looks like the last few shows before they head back into the studio or part ways for another period of time. Either way, this isn’t one to miss out on. Remember your earplugs.
Dinosaur Jr play SWX Bristol on March 21 and tickets are available from Friday via: www.alttickets.com
