Standing along a wooden boardwalk in an open bog landscape under bright daylight, frontman J Mascis stands prominently in the foreground profile facing right, wearing a bright pink mesh-backed baseball cap, glasses, a blue and black tie-dye jacket over a dark grey t-shirt, and a necklace. Behind him, bassist Lou Barlow stands facing forward wearing a dark beanie, glasses, and a neon lime-green quilted puffer jacket over a black shirt. In the background peeking behind Mascis, drummer Murph stands looking forward with long dark curly hair under a clear blue sky.\" class=\"wp-image-368617\"  \/>(Front-back) J.

It\u2019s unclear if the album is Dinosaur Jr.\u2019s ninth or 13th outing, but those details won\u2019t matter to devotees of frontman J. Mascis, a reluctant, Jazzmaster-wielding American guitar god who has turned a lifetime of navel-gazing into one of the loudest catalogs in punk-rock.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Flanked by founding members, drummer Emmett Patrick Murphy (\u201cMurph\u201d), and bassist Lou Barlow, Mascis and Dinosaur Jr. will surely dip into the new LP (one of its most joyous, ironically), and a catalog that goes all the way back to 1985 when the band was just called \u201cDinosaur\u201d (\u201cJr.\u201d was added to avoid a lawsuit).<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Los Angeles rock quartet Starcrawler opens.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/community.cltampa.com\/event\/dinosaur-jr-21898332\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tickets to see Dinosaur Jr. play Jannus Live in St. Petersburg on Saturday, Feb. 20 are still available and start at $52.89.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">See Josh Bradley\u2019s weekly roundup of new concerts coming to Tampa Bay below.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dinosaurjr.bandcamp.com\/album\/there-near\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">There Near by Dinosaur Jr.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Jonas Brothers w\/Magnus Ferrell\/Deleasa Sunday, Oct. 11. 7 p.m. $64.55 &amp; up.
