Gig Review: J Mascis (Feb 27, Wgtn)
J Mascis Bodega Friday, February 27 He’s a constant. Just the one consonant there as/in place of a name. Wilful as Neil Young, consistent as a Grateful Dead show – a rambling trawl through the works, served up for fans that know, already, what they’re going to get. And want more of the same.
