Sonic Youth

On September 10, 2008, Sonic Youth performed at Alcatraz in Milan, Italy, showcasing their iconic track "Schizophrenia." This live recording came shortly after the band's release of 'The Eternal' in 2009, marking an exciting period as it was their first album on their own label, Matador Records. The band had navigated the indie rock scene for decades, creating a huge sonic legacy marked by experimental sounds and a profoundly impactful presence in alternative music. Interestingly, by this time, Sonic Youth was already experiencing a shift in their lineup and creative direction, yet their live performances continued to captivate audiences with raw energy. The 2008 concert stands as a reminder of their enduring influence, blending noise rock with melody in ways that remain noteworthy to fans and musicians alike.
