Sonic Youth

In June 1987, Sonic Youth was riding high on the wave created by their album 'Sister,' which had been released just a year earlier, in 1987. Their unique blend of alternative rock and avant-garde noise was gaining traction, propelling them into the indie music spotlight. This live performance of 'I Wanna Be Your Dog' with Iggy Pop, recorded at the Town and Country Club in London, showcases their experimental edge while paying homage to iconic influences like the Stooges. What's fascinating is how this collaboration highlights Sonic Youth's willingness to blend genres and push creative boundaries, making their live shows a melting pot of energy and innovation. Plus, Iggy Pop's raw, visceral stage presence pairs perfectly with Sonic Youth's signature sound, capturing a moment of pure rock magic during a pivotal time for both artists.
