Lou Barlow Biography

Lou Barlow is one of the most popular and richest Guitarist who was born on July 17, 1966 in Dayton, Ohio, United States. Bassist and guitarist, best known for his work with Dinosaur Jr., an alternative rock band.

Dinosaur Jr. was formed by him and J. Mascis was founded in 1984.

Barlow attended high school in Westfield, Massachusetts, where he met Scott Helland. The two formed the Massachusetts-based hardcore punk band Deep Wound. J Mascis joined the band after answering their ad for a “drummer wanted to play really fast”. After becoming disillusioned with the constraints of hardcore, Deep Wound broke up in 1984. Mascis and Barlow reunited to form Dinosaur (later Dinosaur Jr.) later that year. Throughout its early existence, however, Mascis and Barlow had frequent personality conflicts and after the release of their third album Bug in 1988 and the initial supporting tour, Barlow was kicked out of the band.

After his dismissal from Dinosaur Jr., Barlow turned his attention to his band Sebadoh, which he had formed several years earlier with multi-instrumentalist Eric Gaffney. The project featured low fidelity recording techniques and combined Barlow’s introspective, confessional songwriting with Gaffney’s discordant noise collages. Bassist and songwriter Jason Loewenstein was later added to the line-up. Sebadoh’s early releases include The Freed Man (1989) and Weed Forestin’ (1990), the latter of which was originally self-released under the name Sentridoh in 1987. Both albums were officially released by Homestead Records, as was the band’s third album, Sebadoh III (1991), which helped establish the “lo-fi” subgenre and became a defining album of 90s indie rock. The band released several studio-recorded albums on Sub Pop Records throughout the 1990s.

He married Kathleen.
