Sure, most people think of Lou Barlow as being from Westfield, Massachusetts, as that’s where he spent his formative years and where he formed Deep Wound, then Dinosaur Jr, and ultimately, Sebadoh. However, Ohio can claim the singer and guitarist as one of their own as he was born in Dayton. Sebadoh is currently on tour playing mostly songs from Bakesale (1994) and Harmacy (1996), both of which were reissued this year. They’ll be at the Music Hall of Williamsburg tonight. For a taste, watch the video for “Rebound” (from Bakesale) below.

Cloud Nothings in Brooklyn tonight
While, as most aficionados are aware, there were some great bands that came out of Cleveland in the ’70s, it seems like the city hasn’t been churning out worthwhile music with any regularity in the decades since. As such, I was immensely pleased to discover the Cloud Nothings a couple years ago. Begun as a one-man band by singer, songwriter and guitarist Dylan Baldi, the outfit has since solidified into a solid four-piece. In January, Carpark will release their third album, Attack on Memory, which they recorded in Chicago with Steve Albini. If recent shows are any indication, the band has shifted from the sprightly pop of past records to a heavier, more darkly tinged sound that is no less infectious. You can hear for yourself tonight at Glasslands. In the meantime, check out the first MP3 from the album, “No Future/No Past.”
