Sonic Youth

On July 25, 2006, Sonic Youth delivered an electrifying performance of 'Incinerate' live at Rove Live in Melbourne, Australia. This was a pivotal time in their career, having just launched their album 'Rather Ripped' a year earlier in 2006, which marked a return to a more melodic sound. The album was well received, demonstrating their evolution while staying true to their unique alt-rock roots. Interestingly, 'Rather Ripped' was their first release on an independent label after spending years with Geffen Records, showing a shift towards greater creative freedom. During their performance, you can really feel the band's chemistry and passion, as they connect with the audience, showcasing why they’ve remained a cornerstone of alternative music for decades.
