Dinosaur Jr. with Special Guest Stef Chura

Dinosaur Jr., the band that helped define American alternative rock with its wall of guitar feedback and J Mascis's laconic drawl, returns to Seattle with special guest Stef Chura. Known for live shows that once got them banned from their hometown venues for being too loud, the trio delivers an intense, ear-bleeding country blend of noise and melody. Fans can expect a set drawing on decades of material from their 1985 debut through recent albums.

Formed in Amherst, Massachusetts in 1984, Dinosaur Jr. emerged from the hardcore punk scene but soon carved out a distinctive sound rooted in classic rock and punk aggression. The original lineup of Mascis, Lou Barlow, and Murph reunited in 2005 after a lengthy hiatus, continuing to tour and release albums that cement their legacy as alt-rock icons. For anyone who appreciates loud, thoughtful guitar music, this concert is a rare opportunity to see a band that influenced generations.
