“What do we do now”… is what the crowd in the button factory said to themselves as J Mascis finished a cracking performance to a jam packed Button Factory in Dublin last night (12/04/24)
“What do we do now”, the new album from the legendary Dinosaur Jr front man, which was released on February 2nd this year, is also the reason for his visit and the reason for his solo tour. Starting off in Antwerp and ending on our green isle.
Starting off with support from Owen O Williams who is also the lead singer of The Tubs. He gracefully climbed up on stage with a Guinness in hand to start off the night.
Mascis then appeared from stage left, through the fog, and took a sip from his coconut water before blasting out a list of tracks from his new album along with some fan favourites from his Dinosaur Jr days.
