Sonic Youth

In February 1993, Sonic Youth was riding high after the release of their acclaimed album 'Dirty,' which had dropped just a month prior. This album marked a significant moment in their career, showcasing a raw energy that solidified their status in the alternative rock scene. The live performance at St. James Theatre in Wellington not only highlights their vibrant sound but also offers insight into the band's ability to captivate audiences with their experimental style. Performing tracks like 'Dirty Boots' and '100%' from the latest album, the energy in the room resonated with the intensity of their growing fan base. Plus, it's interesting to note that during this time, Sonic Youth was deeply influential in shaping the noise rock genre, making their live shows a must-see experience for fans eager for that unfiltered rawness.
