Dinosaur Jr.: Beyond

Copy at Case Memorial Library
Eric R. Danton wrote in his Hartford Courant blog Sound Check: "It's a noble partnership: Toyota and Urban Outfitters are collaborating on 'Free Yr Radio,' a venture supporting non-commercial radio. Part of this endeavor is to include in-store performances by indie-rock bands at various Urban Outfitters locations: The Ponys in Lawrence, Kan.; Voxtrot in Houston; The Long Winters in Seattle; Annuals in Raleigh, NC; The Rapture in Philadelphia; Rogue Wave in Santa Cruz, Calif.; Tapes 'n Tapes in Minneapolis and Dinosaur Jr in Boston. Dinosaur Jr! I love the idea of them playing an Urban Outfitters, sending patrons scurrying like startled mice through the racks of faux-vintage clothing in a futile attempt to escape the trio's skull-shattering volume. Unless the band plays an acoustic set (heresy!), Dinosaur Jr will be audible all the way down Newbury Street. Bring earplugs. (The band's excellent new album, 'Beyond,' comes out May 1 on Fat Possum. …) New Haven's Urban Outfitters store is on the list, too, though the date and band have not yet been announced" ("Indie Bands Invade Urban Outfitters," 4/12/07).
