Sonic Youth

In April 1991, Sonic Youth was riding high on the wave of their critically acclaimed album 'Goo,' which had been released just a year earlier, in 1990. This was a significant period for the band, as they were transitioning into mainstream success while still maintaining their avant-garde roots. The live recording during Nardwuar's interview outside the Pacific Coliseum captures Sonic Youth at a moment when their experimental sound was intriguing a wider audience. Fun fact: 'Goo' was the first album released on Geffen Records, marking a shift from their previous indie label, and it included standout tracks like 'Kissability' and 'Dirty Boots.' This interview reveals their personalities amidst the backdrop of this evolving musical journey, showcasing not just their artistry but their playful engagement with pop culture.
