DINOSAUR JR.

Guitar heroes come in many guises. Dinosaur Jr. has a true mastodon in their ranks since day one: J Mascis. With his Fender Jazzmaster and giant wall of Marshall Plexi amplifiers, the guitarist has vibrated many eardrums in Eindhoven in the past with his delicious screaming guitar sound. And he -of course together with good old companions Lou Barlow (bass) and Murph (drums)- will do this again in full glory during BRIDGE. Of course, the true listener already knows everything about this power trio: that they have been making great grubby rock songs for almost forty years. That they have influenced countless bands such as Nirvana, Radiohead, Pixies and The Smashing Pumpkins. That J Mascis plays fantastically adventurous solos. That their sound is unmistakable. That they make songs that stick in your memory. And above all that they are a band to cherish: stubborn, independent, following a tried and true recipe and yet always surprising. What would we have done without the music of Dinosaur Jr. in our lives? We breathe a sigh of relief that they are here. And that they are coming to BRIDGE this year!
