Posted on by JL

Last week slacker heroes DINOSAUR JR. fronted by legend J MASCIS started
a seven-night residency at the Music Hall Of Williamsburg in Brooklyn to celebrate
the 30th anniversary of their landmark album Where You Been.

Every night they invite guests to the stage. So far Hamilton Leithauser, Isaac
Brock, Kurt Vile, Warren Haynes, Lee Ranaldo, and Kevin Corrigan passed by.

Last night Kim Deal, probably the coolest of all invitees, joined the dinos
for 3 songs. Pixies’ Gigantic, The Breeders’ Divine Hammer, and DJr’s cracker
Tarpit.

Thanks to fan CowboyKidd you can watch footage from this awesome live collaboration.

Last year, British spry black feminist punk-pop trio BIG JOANIE followed their
first-rate debut LP Sistahs with the widely applauded second one Back Home.

Now they’re gearing up for some live dates with a reworked version of TODAY.
A frolicsome tune off that 2nd full length and have the utterly cool breeder and
ex-pixie Kim Deal signing on it.

Stephanie Phillips (1/3 of Big Joanie): “We are immensely proud to presente our new version of ‘Today’ featuring Kim Deal Whether through Pixies, Breeders, or her solo work, Kim has been
a vital influence on us as a band and we’re so happy that she’s become part of the Big Joanie world.

Originally this was a song we were working on years ago that Chardine was going to sing on.
I found the old demo while we were on tour and started writing new lyrics to the music with my laptop balanced on my lap in the tour van. I really love that it sounds like a classic C86 type
lo-fi indie song.”

Don’t wait.
Listen today, folks.
