New Dinosaur Jr on the way and video from Taste of Randolph Festival

Dinosaur Jr played the Taste of Randolph in Chicago this weekend and Otis Bperiod was kind enough to give us more behind the scenes shots along the way. Among those shots was a mention of J playing a NEW Dino tune! This is very promising :)

  J’s No.1 1963 Fender Jazzmaster his go to live rocker. The black pickup covers J put on, the knobs with purple jewels also a Mascis little Twist. The action is set high as he prefers it. This has been his main Jazzmaster for a while now. @dinosaurjr @jmascis #jmascis #fenderjazzmaster   A photo posted by —( ????™)— (@otisserie) on Jun 20, 2015 at 12:50pm PDT

Here’s where the baking begins J’s mothership control center. The shralp, the blend, the swirl and the Gnar all at the feets from finger to flanger. The only thing I see that’s new on his board is a little red Mooer Ana Pedal. The rest is all tried and true faves. Photo By O. Dinosaur Jr, Chicago, IL. @dinosaurjr @jmascis #dinosaurjr
