Sonic Youth

In 2000, Sonic Youth was riding high on the wave of their critically acclaimed album "Goo," released back in 1990, but by October that year, they had dropped "Nursing Home" as part of the compilation "The Eternal," which highlighted their experimental approach. The live performance of "Bull in the Heather" at the Free Jazz Festival in São Paulo showcases their signature sound, blending punk and avant-garde rock, captivating audiences with their raw energy. This concert, recorded at the Jockey Club, reflects the band's ability to thrive in an improvisational setting, reinforcing their status as pioneers in the alternative music scene. Interestingly, the title track from "Goo" had gained notable attention thanks to its inclusion in major films, further cementing their cultural relevance. Sonic Youth’s influence at this time served as a bridge for many indie artists who followed.
