People don’t give enough credit to the fact that Sonic Youth have been consistently rocking without rest for over 20 years and they don’t look like they’ve aged a day since 1984. Perhaps the unearthly sound waves they produce have a wrinkle preventing effect? Or maybe their constant touring is a hint as to their true cyborg nature. After all Thurston does seem more guitar than man at times. Come see the phenomenon at the 9:30 Club this Wednesday while they promote their excellent new album, Sonic Nurse. As you’ll see by how hard they rock after all these years, they hardly need one.
