Sonic Youth's royal tuff titty Thurston Moore is touring in support of his new record Trees Outside the Academy, his first widely-released solo effort since 1995's Psychic Hearts. The new material sees Moore straying from his usual sprawling electric guitar squalor, instead showing his chops as an acoustic-guitar-toting songwriter.
Tickets are a steep $17. Worth biting the bullet on this one, I think.
Solo:
The Lower East Side’s hotspot The Living Room has a newly renovated upstairs stage where faithful scenesters can see the occasional live show in a very intimate setting. This Thursday, you will be able to catch Sonic Youth’s very own Steve Shelley on the decks. When not drumming for the seminal New York noise pioneers, Steve has been known to DJ at various clubs in and around Manhattan, but don’t expect and insane scratching, as he has a much more laid back approach to the turntables. He has made a career out of adding ambiance for people in the know and Thursday should be no different. You should be able to expect some good tunes such as Suicide and Kraftwerk.
