Sonic Youth's "final" show. See the entirety of what could be the last ever Sonic Youth show.
Following the end of Thurston Moore and Kim Gordon’s marriage, the future of Sonic Youth was cast into doubt. On Monday night in Sao Paolo, Brazil, the legendary noise-mongers played their last scheduled show and you can now watch the entire 70-minute set on Youtube, as pointed out by Pitchfork . It remains to be seen whether or not the divorce will affect the future of the group and no one from the band has made any statement in regards to their current plans.
However, Thurston Moore is set to continue his solo work with an imminent European tour to be followed by a US jaunt in January and February in support of his newest album Demolished Thoughts. He’ll be meeting up with fellow slacker-songwriter Kurt Vile for a pair of dates along the way.
