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.

Readin’, singin’, talkin’ about the past and future, and eatin’ cake. Such was the wonderful of Mike Doughty’s recent gig at the Media Club in Vancouver on April 5. Yeah, I said CAKE. Read on.

BackstageRider.com and Timbre Concerts are co-presenting Mike Doughty live in Vancouver at the Media Club. He’ll be reading from his epic “The Book of Drugs”, playing songs and answering questions. Here’s why you need to be there, and how you can enter to win one of two pairs of tickets.

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.

January 21st will go down in history as: Parasailing in Mexico, eating fajitas with Yuck, rocking out to Pinkerton and Weezer, and going deaf again to Dinosaur Jr, an 80s prom and Backstreet Boys with Lou Barlow. In other words, PERFECT.

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.

…in which our heroine finds herself travelling from Seattle to Vancouver on board the Dinosaur Jr tourbus and crying great tears of laughter as we cross the border. Also includes: Nardwuar, Devon from Beekeeper and ear plugs.
