[1] After fulfilling his contractual obligations to Blanco y Negro in the UK and Sire/Reprise in the US, Mascis holed up in his home studio in Amherst, MA, which he named Bob's Place after his pet bulldog.

[citation needed] To promote More Light, Mascis enlisted former Dinosaur Jr. drummer George Berz and former Minutemen/Firehose bassist Mike Watt.

A second European tour behind More Light was cut short when the band was involved in a van accident en route to a Swedish concert.

This was mainly due the reformation of the original Dinosaur Jr. lineup to coincide with the re-release on the Merge label of their first three albums (which had previously been on Homestead and SST).

Mascis and Spence also briefly reconvened in March 2012 – this time with Hayride bassist Kevin Sweeney – to perform at the Alyeska Resort Daylodge in Girdwood, Alaska.
