Sonic Youth

In April 1996, Sonic Youth showcased their avant-garde sound during a live performance at Philipshalle in Düsseldorf, Germany. This concert came just after the release of their critically acclaimed album 'Dirty,' which hit the shelves in 1992 and had cemented their presence in the alternative rock scene. By this time, Sonic Youth was diving deeper into their experimental roots, continually pushing the boundaries of conventional rock music. The setlist featured tracks like 'Teen Age Riot' and 'Bull in the Heather,' highlighting their knack for blending the melodic with the chaotic. Fun fact: that era showed a remarkable evolution in their guitar work as they often employed unconventional tunings and a variety of effects, making their live shows a sonic experience unlike any other. Known for their intense stage presence, they were truly captivating performers during their 1996 tour.
