Sebadoh
SEBADOH IN CONCERT: Veteran indie rockers Sebadoh are still blasting out gleefully lo-fi tunes more than 20 years after their infamous debut. At the band’s hyper-charged live shows, frontmen Lou Barlow and Jason Loewenstein trade off growling, impassioned lead vocals as they switch between bass and guitar, pummeling listeners with power chords and fuzz-laden guitar feedback. The bass (regardless of who’s playing it) barrels like a bat out of hell, giving the songs a melodic backbone that highlights the group’s impressive songcraft. Meanwhile, drummer Bob D’Amico kicks the tempo into overdrive while adding subtle country and folk flourishes that perfectly complement his bandmates’ sonic fury.

Powerful, loud, and awesome, with butt-kicking bass and instrumental energy. They played a wide variety of songs spanning from 1987 to 2013, and stayed on stage longer than they were allotted for, taking requests and trying out songs that they hadn't played in years.

I never saw the show, after driving an hour into Brooklyn, getting dinner, and waiting around for 2 hours. At 10, before the 1st act had finished, we left. Why is it smart or necessary if it isn't smart, to start a show so late on a Monday night?

Excellent venue; excellent show. I went with a friend who was new to the band, and while I prefered the acoustic, folky Lou Barlow songs, he much preferred the crazy, noisy Loewenstein numbers. So there was something for everybody!

Long time fan have seen great shows and then some where I think they are just trying to boost their retirement funds! It's like their heart isn't in it sometimes. Also too loud tone it down guys.your voices should be heard clearer.

The show was amazing from Circle of Buzzards all the way through until Sebadoh. I've been a long time fan of many of Lou Barlow's music projects and hearing him perform his solo stuff and talk with the audience then again with Sebadoh was like watching an old friend. I was captivated the entire time! It is good to go to a show that has quality performers and an overall solid experience!

I've never seen Sebadoh live, and to be honest I'm more of a Dinosaur Jr. fan and only learned about Sebadoh in the last year or two when reading "Our band could be your life." Still, I wanted to see what they sounded like live. They sound pretty damned awesome: frenetic high energy songs full of anger, desperation, and balls, mixed with straighter indie ballad rock songs. The guitar trade-offs worked well - both guitarists have their own styles and bring different edges to the sound. They played forever. Something like a 2 hour set and still going long beyond the time the staff wanted to be at work. Sadly I'm too old to sit through two support acts and a 2 hour headline set.

Sebadoh rocked. Such a warm, fun show. Great to see them let their hair down after a long tour. Great opening acts too, especially Dichroics.

Fun show, they played a long time. Lou got really drunk and started ranting. Good times.

These guys were my favorite band in high school and I was obsessed for a long time, although I haven't been listening to much music the past few years. When I found out they were playing again I was totally psyched. They were great and really rocked out. It was the last show of the tour and they gave it their all. Super loud, tight, energized. Lyrics were audible.

I am from Barcelona and saw Sebadoh some years ago. It was a pleasure to have the opportunity to see them playing again with all this good repertory of all these years. Clearly they were having fun playing!!

The legends rocked the an intimate space playing classics from Harmacy and Bake Sale, but also played stuff from their first album, which Lou Barlow proclaimed no one in the audience has ever heard. Great show, especially for those who love Sebadoh.

A great surprise that this incarnation of Sebadoh played music from the two albums I have always enjoyed the most: Bakesale and Harmacy. So, no Eric Gaffney, but tons of pop melodies buried between the punk callings of Jason Lowenstein and the lo-fi longings of Lou Barlow. And this drummer, Bob D'Amico, definitely keeps up with them. Show openers Quasi have only improved as a three-piece since adding a bassist to their live shows. Looking forward to seeing them again.
