Sunn 0))) | NY Times, Pitchfork, David Byrne, Avalon, & Carnegie Hall
“Newsworthy? Not really…but it has to be mentioned that the past year’s seen metal’s cache rise in the mainstream press. There’re plenty of examples of the crossover (ahem), though perhaps none as startling and weirdly cool as a recent New York Times Magazine feature on Sunn 0))), Boris, and Southern Lord, the label operated by Sunn 0)))’s Greg Anderson.” [Pitchfork]

“Saw Sunn0))), the minimal metal band, last night. Last Sunday there was a huge article about them in the NY Times which I suspect might dash my hopes for them joining the lineup for one of the nights at Carnegie Hall I’m curating next Feb. But who knows? I expected a sell out last night as a result of that article, but I guess the Times demographic and the audience for extremely loud minimal metal has a small overlap. I can see the Venn diagram in my mind.” [David Byrne]
