Watch here:
https://youtu.be/v8HttnTsgho
In this video we take a look at Freakscene..., the story of the seminal US alternative act Dinosaur Jr., who fuse everything from raging hardcore punk, gloomy goth, yearning country rock, wigged-out wah-heavy psychedelia and dissonant noise to great, "ear-bleeding" effect!
Despite some serious personality clashes during the '80s, which famously lead to original bassist Lou Barlow being kicked out of the band, in 2005- miraculously- the original core trio of Barlow, drummer Murph and singer/guitarist J Mascis managed to set aside their differences and reform!
Freakscene... follows the ups and downs of their career, often in very candid detail and also features 'talking head' cameos from a whole bunch of famous faces like Thurston Moore, Kim Gordon (both ex-Sonic Youth), Frank Black (Pixies), the late Mark Lanegan (ex-Screaming Trees), Kevin Shields (My Bloody Valentine), Henry Rollins (ex-Black Flag) and even Hollywood actor Matt Dillon!
Cheers!
