Sonic Youth will perform July 12 at 8 pm at Sloss Furnaces.
The experimental rock band, formed in New York City by Thurston Moore and Kim Gordon, was extremely influential in the post-punk movement of the 1980s. Sonic Youth combined fearless innovation with a do-it-yourself aesthetic, producing about six albums for indie labels.
Early ’90s recordings for Geffen, such as “Goo,” “Dirty,” and “Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star” brought the band to national attention. Sonic Youth has continued to chart its own course since then, with avant-garde tracks, instrumentals and forays into noise jam.
The group has a new disc, “The Eternal,” set for release June 9 on the Matador label. Hear the lead track, “Sacred Trickster.”
