For many aging music nerds, Lou Barlow is like an old friend. He's that punk-rock guy who made you look cool in high school; he came with you to college and helped you meet like-minded weirdos when you needed them the most; then he followed you into adulthood to provide the soundtrack soundtrack to the post-dinner cigarettes that your spouse keeps telling you to stop smoking. So it's always nice when your lo-fi buddy Lou comes to town — it's a lovely reminder of all the great times you've had over the years with Dinosaur Jr., Sebadoh, Folk Implosion, and Barlow's rad solo stuff, too. This tour supports his latest album —which came out a couple of weeks ago — the very beautiful Brace The Wave. If you've not already made its acquaintance, this show is the perfect time.
