Lee Ranaldo released 'Last Night on Earth,' holding guitar clinic at Other Music this month (LP stream & updated dates)

Ranaldo

Lee Ranaldo is pretty good at guitar. The 30-year vet of Sonic Youth (and other projects) is now finally going to put those skills to real work, teaching YOU how to play. On October 28, Ranaldo will host a Guitar Clinic at Other Music with a discussion and demonstration of his weapon of choice. Everyone who attends will also get a signed poster. Hopefully it’s like the one above, which more than winks in Dan Smith’s direction. The learning commences at 8 PM that evening and is free.

Lee Ranaldo & The Dust’s new album, Last Night on Earth, was released this week via Matador and you can stream the whole thing below. A few days before the guitar clinic, you can catch him and the band opening for Kurt Vile at Terminal 5 on October 25 (tickets). They’ll also headline The Bell House on January 11 (tickets).
