While everyone is counting down the days until Meredith rears it beautiful, musical head once again, we can’t forget about Meredith’s equally wonderful sister festival Golden Plains.
Following on from confirmation that CAT POWER will be headlining, along with Mr. Funk himself GEORGE CLINTON AND PARLIAMENT FUNKADELIC would be playing the festival, and a slew of other acts such as Dinosaur Jr, Golden Plains Lucky Seven has delighted us again with a few choice sideshows.
First cab off the rank this morning was Cat Power herself following on from an announcement by George Clinton & The Parliament Funkadelic. Now it’s the turn of Dinosaur Jr and The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion.
Dinosaur Jr 2013 Golden Plains Sideshows
Having completed a sold-out solo east coast tour earlier this year, J Mascis returns to Australia in 2013 for a national tour and will be performing around the country. This time, however, Mascis is bringing his pals: drummer Murph and bassist Lou Barlow, along with him as they prepare once again to give listeners a dose of the live aural-onslaught that is Dinosaur Jr.
The tour comes off the back of I Bet On Sky, the third album to be released by the iconic trio since their unlikely reformation in 2005. And like its post-2005 predecessors, Farm and Beyond, Sky… is yet another critical and fan-fave and continues the phoenix like rise of these alt-rock superheroes.

The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion 2013 Golden Plain Sideshows
Tix on sale Nov 16th 2012
Get ready for the musical hysteria as The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion bring their fuzzed-up freaked-out live show back to Australia for Golden Plains 2013, with handful of headline shows across the country. Last here in January 2011 following a reissue campaign that saw much of their unavailable catalogue brought to light once more, JSBX blew the roof off venues in Australia and New Zealand, playing their classic album Orange in its entirety and selling out shows in Sydney and Melbourne.
