Sonic Youth

In the summer of 1996, Sonic Youth was riding high on the wave of their album 'Goo,' a pivotal release that helped cement their status in the alt-rock scene. Just a few years earlier, they'd released the critically acclaimed 'Daydream Nation,' which made an indelible mark on the landscape of indie music. The live performance of 'Starfield Road' at Rockpalast captures the band during a thrilling phase of their career, blending experimental sounds with raw energy. Notably, this performance showcases their unique guitar tunings and the mesmerizing interplay between Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo. Sonic Youth was known for pushing boundaries, and this show was no exception, resonating with the fresh spirit of the '90s alternative scene. Plus, playing on the 4th of July in Germany adds a quirky layer to the event—celebrating indie rock while the world tuned in to their rebellious sound.
