lineup featuring, from left, Mascis, Lou Barlow and Murph. Back from extinction 4 I had been kaput since 1991, and ended less than amicably. Dinosaur Jr. was one of the most well-publicized dysfunctional families in rock, thanks in part to Mascis's stoic, introverted personality and his firm grip on the artistic direction. At one point, band members went weeks without talking to each other, which didn't bode well for a smooth comeback.

"We're all pretty skeptical about it," Mascis says of the reunion, which is now in its second successful year. "Judging by other bands from the past and how things seem to work out, we thought it might not be a good idea. But we decided to try it anyway." That's as much of an explanation on the subject as you'll get from Mascis. The surprise revelations continued further with the release of Beyond on May 1, the first effort from Dinosaur core trio since 1988's landmark effort, Bug. Money was involved in the decision.

But for Mascis, who has no shortage of work as a guest guitarist and producer, the idea of a new record also intrigued him. "We played so many shows (since reuniting), we just thought we'd Eke to play some more. But we needed some new upstream tour, Fishbone is scheduled to perform on the Warped Tour this summer, unofficially serving as the traveling rock fest's elder statesmen along'with punk band Bad Religion. "My head is spinning," said Moore, who still lives in the Los Angeles area. "It ain't been on straight, and I'm leaving again tomorrow." Although Fishbone's most successful album, 1991's The Reality of My Surroundings, peaked at No.

49 in Billboard, the band's fusion punk-funk and Madball energy created the template on which other bands forged their sound, in many cases to the tune of platinum sales. Among those who owe Fishbone a sonic debt: No Doubt, Goldfinger, Less Than Jake, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones and Sublime. i Fishbone CHRIS LEE Los Angeles Times It was late on a recent Tuesday night in a remote precinct of downtown Los Angeles. Angelo Moore, flamboyant frontman for the pioneering punk-ska-metal band Fishbone, had jumped and wailed his way through a hyperkinetic 75-minute set for a small, lethargic crowd. The singer paused for a moment outside a small venue called E.

3rd, shivering and shirtless and drenched in sweat. Running a hand along a tattoo that traverses his shaven head like a Mohawk, Moore contemplated what it meant to be home. "I've been feeling kind of displaced," he said quietly. "From Los Angeles, but also from America as a whole." But there were deeper issues. "America hasn't been (anything) for a while and hasn't helped out Fishbone," Moore said.

"I've given up on America and Los Angeles." The bitterness in his voice was unmistakable but also shocking. LA. bashing might be the last thing anyone expects from the leader of a group that ranks among the most influential bands the city has produced in the past 25 years. Even if the group is a bigger deal in the Eastern and Southern hemispheres than in California. Along with the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Jane's Addiction, the six members of Fishbone were crown princes of Angeleno "alternative music" in the mid-'80s to early '90s and also among its few black scene makers.

For that persistence. Fishbone has become a sentimental favourite of rock cognoscenti and re-entered the cultural landscape on a number of fronts. Last year, the group was featured as the house band in Idlewild, a period musical starring the hip-hop duo OutKast, whose members are longtime fans as it turns out. Fishbone wrote and performed the soundtrack for David Ar-quette's directorial debut, The Tripper.

If you're in a band, you make a record and see what happens." The resulting album, which was recorded in Amherst, at Mascis's home studio, is being supported with more tour dates, including tonight in Calgary. On its previous trek, Mascis says the trio included two Beyond songs in its set, This is All I Came to Do and Back To Your Heart.

The mere inclusion of the latter tune, which was written by Barlow, is a sign that band relationships are on the mend. During his five-year stint with the band, Barlow never had one of his songs included on a Dinosaur Jr. recording; on Beyond he has two. For years, Barlow was resentful toward Mascis for firing him (he was informed via a news-brief on MTV that he was no longer in Dinosaur but both sides have made amends. "The hardest part of the recording was getting Lou to write some songs," Mascis says in his defense, his voice a drawling monotone.

"And it wasn't until the very end, a final recording session, mat he had all these parts that we put together as songs." iv it iVVJJO. ei Dinosaur Jr. regenerate with CD, tour MIKE DEVLIN CanWest News Service In the years following the 1997 breakup of alt-rock heroes Dinosaur founder and frontman Mascis found himself in a variety of bands and alongside an ever-changing lineup of musicians.
