Win A Double Pass To See Sebadoh

Sebadoh’s Australian tour begins next weekend, including a special Sydney matinee show with guests Bed Wettin Bad Boys. The afternoon will kick off at 4.30pm with a BBQ and record stalls by Beatdisc, Egg and Repressed Records. Sebadoh play a second Sydney show at 9pm at Factory Floor with guests Fait Accompli (sold out), and special guests for the remaining shows will be Bored Nothing, Pearls and Freak Wave in Melbourne, Blank Realm and Major Leagues in Brisbane, Emperors and Red Jezebel in Perth.

The band thrilled all and sundry when they reformed back in 2007 after a seven-year hiatus, and Australian fans of the lo-fi pioneers were ecstatic when they came Down Under in 2011 touring their classic Bakesale (1994) and Harmacy (1996) albums. Now the evergreen rockers have taken this reunion to a whole new level with the release of their brand new long-player Defend Yourself (Domino/EMI) – their first new studio album in some fourteen years.

Sebadoh originally began way back in 1986 as a vehicle for Barlow to release the tension he was living as bassist for Dinosaur Jr via a stream of defiantly lo-fi and angsty bedroom recordings, but once he acrimoniously departed the latter band Sebadoh became a full-time concern, going onto become a key player in the fertile indie explosion of the ‘90s alongside such iconic outfits as Pavement, Guided By Voices, Archers Of Loaf and Superchunk. The fact that they’re still releasing powerful and relevant music all these years later is testament to the creative power and musicianship of this pioneering outfit.

So whether you’re a fan from back in the day or a newcomer to the myriad delights of this amazing band and their incredible canon of music, don’t miss Sebadoh this March when they bring the new tunes from Defend Yourself and all of their trusty hits to Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth. The ‘90s may be done and dusted as a decade but the music will live on forever!
