Sonic Youth

In June 1987, Sonic Youth was riding high on the underground wave of the alternative rock scene, shortly after the release of their seminal album 'Sister' in March of that year. This live performance at the Town & Country Club in London closely followed the album's debut, showcasing their experimental sound that was becoming increasingly influential. 'Sister' marked a pivotal moment for the band as it intertwined their avant-garde tendencies with more accessible melodies, a move that resonated with growing audiences. Interestingly, this performance also featured the band's characteristic blend of noise and melody, highlighting their improvisational prowess. The interview portion with Tony Wilson adds a fascinating depth, giving fans a glimpse into the band's philosophy and their views on art and music, capturing a moment where they were both at the height of creativity and pushing boundaries in the music scene.
