Dinosaur Jr. In December

Dinosaur Jr. has a handful of additional “Bug” shows to do before the end of the year. Henry Rollins is once again coming along as a special guest.

The shows will feature the alternative rock band performing the group’s1988 album in its entirety. Bug marked Dinosaur’s Jr.’s third studio album as the follow-up to 1987’s You’re Living All Over Me and 1985’s self-titled debut.

The band, which reunited in 2005, performed Bug in its entirety during a string of U.S. June shows and in July as part of All Tomorrow’s Parties’ Don’t Look Back series in London.
