Dinosaur Jr.
Turner Hall Ballroom 1040 N 4th St., Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53203
The bad news: Mastodon’s tour with Dinosaur Jr., which was to include a Milwaukee stop on this date, has been canceled due to an unspecified “critical situation with a member of the Mastodon family.” The good news: Dinosaur Jr. is going to keep touring anyway, hence this short-notice concert at Turner Hall Ballroom. After a famously acrimonious split between frontman J Mascis and bassist Lou Barlow, the band’s original lineup reunited and made up for lost time on their roiling 2007 comeback album Beyond, which they followed with a remarkable trio of albums that were even better, including 2009’s Farm and 2016’s Give a Glimpse of What Yer Not. Farm in particular stands up to the band’s heyday work, which is high praise indeed. All alt-rock reunions should be as fruitful as this one.
