I made a video clip of the Late Night with Conan O'Brien appearance: Download here (Quicktime, 15 megs). As usual, this is not going to be up for long so grab it now! Sorry about the sound quality...

While were talking about downloading things, check out Sonicshows which would eventually be a host for SY live show downloads in bittorrent format. If you're new to this kind of thing, visit Sharing The Groove for more info and a bunch of SY shows, too.

STG seems to be down at the moment (maybe for good?). Visit bt.etree.org and easytree.org for SY torrents. (thanks Roque!)

Help! I'm looking to add some new photos in the images section of this site, so if you have or know of any from this tour (or past gigs), please do email me! Thanks.

Sonic Youth, initially comprising of guitarist / vocalists Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo, guitarist / bassist / vocalist Kim Gordon and drummer Richard Edson, were formed in New York City in 1981. A product of the No-Wave music scene of the late 1970s, the group had their roots in abrasive, experimental music, with Moore and Ranaldo having previously worked with the experimental composer Glenn Branca. The band were joined in 1985 by drummer Steve Shelley, and have now recorded 14 albums together, as well as many side and solo projects. Their work has been consistently challenging and innovative, and they are widely regarded as one of the most intriguing and influential bands of their time.
