Dinosaur Jr fifth album ‘Where You Been’ was released on 9 February 1993. It was the album that established the Dinosaur Jr fanbase, especially in Australia where the Massachusetts group had their first chart position in Australia which continued on with the next record ‘Without A Sound’.

‘Where You Been’ was the only Dinosaur Jr album from 1988’s ‘Bug’ to 2007’s Beyond’ to be recorded with the band of three, J Mascis, Mike Johnson and Murph. Johnson was the new bass player for the group replacing Lou Barlow. Murph left after “Where You Been’ and returned in 2005. For 2024, Australia will be treated to the original trio, J Mascis (guitar, vocals, primary songwriter), Lou Barlow (bass, vocals) and Murph (drums). It’s the band’s first visit to Australia since 2017.
