Sonic Youth

On September 2, 2006, Sonic Youth brought their signature avant-garde rock to the Osheaga Festival in Montreal, captivating an enthusiastic crowd. At this point in their career, just before this live performance, they had released 'Rather Ripped' in 2006, which further solidified their place in the indie rock scene, blending their experimental roots with more accessible melodies. This album showcased a maturation in their sound while retaining the raw edge that fans loved. Interestingly, during this performance of 'Teenage Riot', a beloved anthem from their 1988 album 'Daydream Nation', the band reminded audiences of their profound influence on alternative music and the upcoming wave of new artists inspired by their work. Sonic Youth's music continues to resonate, making this live recording a notable moment in their long and storied career.
