In October, the semi-cryptic "Sebadoh Classic will be touring this spring 2/25/07 → 4/07" msg appeared on Lou Barlow's website. And now, Lou Barlow, Eric Gaffney, and Jason Loewenstein have revealed the dates that will be filling in that gap-- and extending it. (The trek includes a stop at Noise Pop, as previously reported)

In an update on his site, Barlow commented on a week of recent Sebadoh practice sessions in Los Angeles, as well as Dinosaur Jr.'s holiday trip to the UK, an upcoming five-song solo CD EP ("It sounds more like old-school Sentridoh than anything I've done in awhile. A big murky mess...I love it...That'll be out in Spain sometime soon."), and more.

Speaking of Dinosaur Jr., they currently have one performance scheduled. And it's... a Nike Skateboarding shoe release party taking place at Tampa, Florida's Cuban Club on January 19. No kidding, J Mascis designed a SHOE for Nike. Yeah, apparently aging indie rock legends have the same cache as basketball stars and rappers these days.

Dinosaur Jr. also has a full-band DVD, Dinosaur Jr.: Live from the Middle East, on its way May 8 via Image Entertainment. As previously reported, the trio also plans to drop a currently untitled album produced by Mascis and mixed by John Agnello this spring.

Finally, a bunch of Sebadoh bootlegs have made their way to the band's site.
