Ex-Dinosaur, Jr. member Lou Barlow and Eric Gaffney formed Sebadoh in 1986 Western Massachusetts. A few years later, Jason Loewenstein joined the band and they began making records. By the time their third album, Sebadoh III, was released they were considered pioneers of lo-fi indie rock and were signed to Sub Pop. They have taken frequent breaks from recording and touring, but are back together and getting ready to tour in 2007.
