Lou Barlow Booking Agency Profile
Since the 1980s, Lou Barlow has been one of the most powerfully recognizable, significant and productive figures in independent music. He played in three significant bands—Dinosaur Jr., Sebadoh and the Folk Implosion—and also found time to pursue a solo career. His contributions to each of these endeavors were unified by his talent for writing straightforward but memorable melodies and his willingness to share his vulnerabilities and insecurities with the world. He played bass in Dinosaur Jr., played a supporting role as Sebadoh's leader and was a key player in the lo-fi movement. With the Folk Implosion, he was able to get "Natural One" into the pop Top 40.
In addition to recording and performing with Dinosaur Jr., Barlow pursued a solo career and released the albums Emoh and Goodnight Unknown. To many people's astonishment, Dinosaur Jr. reformed their original lineup and released Beyond. In addition, Sebadoh reformed for a series of live performances and went back into the studio to record an EP (Secret) and an album (Defend Yourself). Despite his hectic schedule, Barlow found time to record Brace the Wave, his second solo album.
He maintained a quick pace, playing bass on the second Dumb Numbers album, working with Dinosaur Jr. on the LP Give a Glimpse of What Yer Not and releasing the acoustic EP Apocalypse Fetish. He also contributed to the Elliott Smith tribute album Say Yes! Barlow nevertheless found time in his schedule to record Reason to Live, which was released by Joyful Noise. Sebadoh returned to duty for the album Act Surprised and Dinosaur Jr. went to the studio to record Sweep It Into Space..
