Thurston‘s tour includes shows in NYC, Chicago, St Paul, and at Milwaukee Summerfest.

This is the earliest known multitrack live recording of Sonic Youth and the new ‘handmade’ vinyl edition comes in a newsprint fold-over style cover that doubles as a poster.

“New York, New Music 1980–1986“ features over 350 objects, including video footage, photography, show flyers and more from one of the most vital periods in NYC’s music history.

The video also features Sonic Youth covering Crime‘s “Hot Wire My Heart“ and look for a special appearance from Steve Albini.

Having debuted as a hardcore/screamo band on their 2001 s/t debut, There Were Wires went in a doomier direction on 2003’s ‘Somnambulists,’ but then their label Iodine Recordings shuttered and the band broke up. Now the label and the band are both back…

”When I heard the somber, majestic music I thought that I could adapt the poem to fit, and also challenge myself to be experimental with my vocals in a way that was quite new for me – using overlapping voices and phrases to create an instability between the foreground and the background,” Lee said.

She also talked about her love of Billie Holiday, saying, ”long live the genius spirit of Billie Holiday that will live on forever through her transcendent work.”

Audio from this 2003 show was released as part of SY’s private press series, but this is the first time the video has ever been shared.
