Imagine seeing Sonic Youth headline at the Knitting Factory... in Boise, ID. Weird, yes, but it happened last night, and it was awesome.
The hit the new record, The Eternal, hard, bringing new tracks like "No Way" and "Leaky Lifeboat" into line with older and classic stuff. They came out for repeated encores, Lee Ranaldo even taking a bow to his guitar to kick off the last song of the night.
One of the coolest things about the show is that Mark Ibold, formerly of Pavement, is playing bass with Sonic Youth on this album and tour. Good to see him out and about again, hopefully honing his chops for that Pavement reunion...
They're in Spokane tonight. Not that Range Life has a big Spokane readership, I just like the poster.
