[press release] Indie pioneers Sebadoh are giving the people what they want and striking out on the East Coast leg of their tour 2011 tour, kicking things off March 23rd. Known for their frenetic energy and wry wit, their collaborative effort toward songwriting became the trio’s calling card traversing between lo-fi folkiness and noisy experimentation.
Sebadoh began in the late 1980s as a songwriting outlet for Lou Barlow who currently was part of Dinosaur Jr. What started as a few acoustic songs taped at home on a four track recorder grew into a growing grassroots fanbase and a record deal with Homestead. With Barlow officially parting ways with Dinosaur Jr. in 1989, he and collaborator Eric Gaffney focused on Sebadoh and with the addition of Jason Lowenstein the band began touring and recording demos. It was these early demos that lead to a deal with Sub Pop Records in the early 90s.
And it was their third release on Sub Pop, Bakesale that propelled the band into indie rock cult status, and now this seminal album is getting reissued June 2011. Seventeen years after it’s original release, one listen to Bakesale shows it stands the test of time and with the an entire disc of bonus material for the reissue release there are more reasons to fall in love with this album all over again.
