Jason-Bob-Lou as Sebadoh/Lou Barlow solo/Circle of Buzzards are touring the east coast of North America. Here are the dates, along with the rest of the Seba-scoop.

New video of Lou performing Weed Forestin’ tracks at Origami Vinyl a few weeks back, sent to the BSR by filmmaker Adam Harding! A round up of Sebadoh-recording-new-music news! It’s all kicking off at Camp Sebadoh.

And now, the end is near. And so we face, the final curtain (or day at sea), on the Weezer Cruise. Here’s the final part of our four-part epic adventure in which we sit down with Rivers Cuomo and say our fond farewells to friends.

In which I check out The Knocks’ Flip Cup Tourney and Yacht Rock Revue, then get absolutely shitfaced drunk with Yuck and the Nervous Wreckords, continue that through the rest of the gigs including Sebadoh, then pass out naked in my bunk.

Friend to the (indie rock) stars, the Backstage Rider set sail for Mexico aboard a big honking cruise ship with Weezer, Dinosaur Jr, Sebadoh, Yuck, Nervous Wreckords, and a ton more as part of the redonkulous Weezer Cruise. Here’s the start of my EPIC four-day diary series. Part 1, Thursday.

Indie rock diehards are twigging on to something Lou Barlow mentioned in his January newsletter: that recording NEW material with Sebadoh (the first in 13 years) will be a “DEFINITE” this year.

What’s the point of looking back? Here’s the BackstageRider Top 11 Things to Look Forward to in 2012 (so far) with a bit of back-looking, I admit, in the form of musicks I did very much enjoy as well as some guesses about what might be awesome next year.

Helping to make dreams happen since November 10, 2011, I am The BackstageRider. Watch the cute video!

BackstageRider takes on Portlandia in a MusicFestNW adventure. Part 1 features Sebadoh (of course), Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Archers of Loaf and Fred Armisen. No really. The guy from Portlandia. In Portland. Backstage with me.
