SEBADOH FIRST SHOW TO BE ANNOUNCED FOR DON'T LOOK BACK 2008!!

We are very excited to announce the first confirmed show for Don't Look Back 2008

Sebadoh will be performing their 1993 classic Bubble and Scrape.

This is a very special show as it will also be the first time in 15 years that the original full line up of Lou Barlow, Jason Lowenstein and Eric Gaffney have played together in the UK.

The show takes place at London's KOKO on Wednesday 7th May.
Tickets are priced at £17.50 and are onsale now!!

I am now officially bored as fuck with the whole DLB thing. It was a pretty bad idea to begin. Now it's just sad.

dazedcola · 09.11.2007, 10:34 AM

B&S isnt that great of an album, I wonder why they picked that. I feel like III was the one with more legendary status, would love to see that one done live, especially the closer "when the eyes of god grow bigger".

Rob Instigator · 09.11.2007, 10:52 AM

BUBBLE & SCRAPE is their BEST fucking album! are you guys nuts? do you guys just like the pussy shit? are you all ridiculosuly clueless? BUBBLE & FUCKING SCRAPE!!! The very very very best of the freakouts! YOU ARE SO LUCKY!!!!! BUBBLE & SCRAPE has the very best crap from all three, the most awesome album, the one that makes me wanna KILL KILL KILLLLLLLLLLL

III is a good album but fuck that folky bullshit. we wanna ROCK and we wanna BUBBLE & SCRAPE !!!!

sonicl · 09.11.2007, 11:07 AM

Woo hoo. That's my birthday. I might go, just so that I can have the crappest birthday even.

To me, Sebadoh represent everything that went wrong with American "Indie Rock" after the Sonic Youth / Big Black / Butthole Surfers / Dinosaur Jr / Husker Du brilliance of the late 80s. There's no place for whining in rock and roll.

booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ring.

Judging by how dull they are live alone, this will be the icing on the cake.

they were amazing the last two times I saw them play, once acoustic and once with the original lineup, all fucking ass kicking and bad-ass,

Bubble & Scrape > Nevermind

pbradley · 09.11.2007, 12:01 PM

I'd rather they play Bakesale which, I think is the only Sebadoh I like all the way through. III is kind of spotty.

PAULYBEE2656 · 09.11.2007, 12:59 PM

this is a ratherpredictable piece of news. sebadohs best album but i wonder why they chose to do this rather than do a new one, i mean sebadoh albums arent overproduced expensive things are they. still b&s is a great album....

.... breaking news, nik kershaw reforms himself to perform the riddle in its entirety!

SuperCreep · 09.11.2007, 09:23 PM

Eh. I enjoy Sebadoh, but is any album of theirs really that worthy to be performed in it's entirety? I can understand albums like DDN and Spiderland performed in their entirety, but Bubble & Scrape? Nah.

This is coming from someone who likes B&S too.

Bubble and Scrape is one of my all-time favorite records.

CHOUT · 09.11.2007, 11:09 PM

I didn't know this was revered as a classic album, but then again I'm not that big of a Sebadoh fan...but when they're on, they're on in the songwriting dept.

Fuck yeah. Sister rocks. Still not my favourite Sebadoh album though.

Toilet & Bowels · 09.12.2007, 07:47 AM

sebadoh have some great songs but none of their albums (to my mind) are particularly great all the way through. i can't imagine they'd be a particularly good live band either.

Phlegmscope · 09.12.2007, 07:58 AM

What's the deal with bands performing their old albums? for some reason I find that a bit boring idea, lame even.

pokkeherrie · 09.12.2007, 09:00 AM

i agree.
but still, seeing sonic youth do daydream nation was awesome.

never been a fan of sebadoh; i did see them once at a festival in the mid 90s. oh well, i guess it's still better than a led zeppelin reunion.

09.12.2007, 09:06 AM

I dunno about that. I've never seen Led Zeppelin live and have no desire to either, but Sebadoh were a whinge-fest in all their smug indie glory. At least if you are going to be so miserable, make sure that you are going to be that miserable. I agree that they have some good songs, but so far I haven't heard an entire record by them that didn't make me want to switch the electricity off in the house for a good few hours.
