Dinosaur Jr. Live Performance of Budge at Mohawk in Austin, TX
On October 4, 2012, Dinosaur Jr. performed live at the Mohawk in Austin, TX, showcasing a blend of their classic sound and new material. This performance came shortly after the release of their album "I Bet on Sky," which dropped just a month earlier on September 18, 2012. Fans were treated to a high-energy set that highlighted the band's enduring influence in the alternative rock scene, characterized by J Mascis's signature guitar work and emotive vocals. This era was particularly significant as Dinosaur Jr. was experiencing a resurgence since their reunion in 2005, refueling interest in their back catalog while also proving they still had new creative fires to burn. The atmosphere at the Mohawk that night buzzed with nostalgia and excitement—an imperfect but authentic expression of why Dinosaur Jr. remains beloved among fans and musicians alike.
