Buffalo Tom/Pavement/Sebadoh: The Cattle Club, Sacramento
Jim Arundel, Melody Maker, 13 June 1992
ERIC IS STRANDED alone onstage behind his drum kit. Sebadoh have been announced but it's clear that the rest of the band aren't even in the building. It's several embarrassing minutes before Lou and Jason turn up. Lou's a little surprised to see he's on. Jason's just ill.
