Sonic Youth
Sonic Youth Live Performance of Incinerate at Parc Jean-Drapeau, Montreal
By the time Sonic Youth took the stage in Montreal on September 2, 2006, they were riding high on the wave of their 2006 album "Rather Ripped," which was both a commercial and critical success. This album marked a return to a more accessible sound while preserving their signature experimental edge. Interestingly, "Rather Ripped" was their last studio album released before they went on hiatus in 2011. The live performance at the Osheaga Festival showcases the band's ability to balance sonic experimentation with melodic hooks, reminding fans why they are legends in the alternative rock scene. Plus, it's worth noting that their setlist often included fan-favorite tracks, making this concert a can't-miss event for devoted followers. Sonic Youth's unique approach to guitar tuning and improvisation gives live performances an exhilarating unpredictability, amplifying the excitement of this Montreal show.
