words & photos by Andrew Frisicano Sonic Youth and Dinosaur Jr. played Terminal 5 on Saturday, November 21st. Opening up for those established acts were synth-heads Cold Cave (who are Sonic Youth's label-mates on Matador Records). Dinosaur Jr. went on...
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News Sonic Youth fans in Boston had to wait a while for the band's 'Eternal' tour to reach them. The veteran noise rock band played most of the US, as well as many other continents this year, before hitting the Hub. "It's nice to be back in eastern Massachusetts," guitarist Thurston Moore said during the first of a two-night stand at Boston's Wilbur Theatre...
:: Westboro Baptist Church is finally doing something that deserves a pat on the back — picketing an All Time Low concert. :: Sonic Youth’s Kim Gordon still looks pretty stacked, even though she’s probably a card-carrying member of the AARP. She has to get those Denny’s coupons somewhere, right? :: Had a chance to attend M [...]
Sonic Youth and the Feelies sold out the Wilbur Theatre on Sunday. Over the course of the evening, 10 musicians took the stage. But there were no rock stars. These bands don't...
Photo of Theater District tagged "Bostonist" by Antydiluvian . Boston's worst live music venue, the Wilbur Theatre, on the left. Is there a shittier live music venue in Boston than the Wilbur Theatre? We hope not. Let's just say that it takes an advanced level of suck to cancel out the awesomeness that is a Sonic Youth-Feelies concert and that the Wilbur Theatre managed to conjure it. We...

Later this week I'll be celebrating my 29th birthday, it's not a milestone year or something I'm particularly looking forward to turning (though I'm seeing the Pixies to celebrate it), it's just the natural order of things me aging and whatnot. Back in 1981, mere months after I was born, the early stages of Sonic Youth were being set. Thurston Moore and Lee Renaldo were just meeting and the history...

J. Tillman took the stage at the Middle East Upstairs for a late show on Sunday night. But then again, it was only 8pm in Seattle, the west-coast town that this drummer from Fleet Foxes calls home. The performance was a family affair, with J. Tillman’s brother Zach opening as a solo act called Pearly Gates Music . Zach Tillman offered us a stripped-down version of his already sparse style: leaving...
[Click for larger image.] I was lucky enough to see Black Flag play live a number of times in the '80s, around the time Glen E. Friedman shot the photo that graces this book's cover. I was an underage teen sneaking into grownup punk clubs, high on moshpit fumes (and, truth be told, lots else). The band, and that subculture that surrounded them, changed my life. Spray Paint the Walls: The Story of Black...
So even Devo now is into this play-a-classic-album-in-its-entirety thing: They're at the Fillmore at Irving Plaza Friday (Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo!) and Saturday (Freedom of Choice...
Glenn's Biography Lesson No. 1 was Branca’s first release in which he delved more fully into instrumental sounds that melded the dissonant rock of his former outfits with the heavy, massed sounds that he would later explore with groups of anywhere between ten and a hundred guitarists. Originally issued on 99 Records in 12” format, Lesson No. 1 contained two songs, one on each side. This...
