This band formed in 1986, for a time in the 90s, along with Pavement and Guided by Voices, help pioneer an era of low-fi indie-rock. The band broke up in 1999, but reformed under the guidance of original founder Lou Barlow (Dinosaur Jr), without Eric Gaffney (who is currently busy with his own music project called Fields of Gaffney).

Sebadoh is also scheduled to play at the Turf Club in St Paul this Monday.

Nobunny (aka Justin Champlin) is my brother's favorite band at the moment, and their live act sounds amazing, complete with weird costumes and that iconic bunny mask that Champlin wears on stage.
