Sonic Youth

In June 2007, Sonic Youth was in an exciting phase of their career, having just released their album 'Rather Ripped' a year earlier, in 2006. This period marked a return to a more accessible sound for the band, which had been exploring increasingly experimental avenues throughout the '90s and early 2000s. The concert in Saint Petersburg took place at the Manezh Kadetskogo Korpusa, a unique venue that added a special atmosphere to their performance. Fans were treated to a mix of tracks from their extensive catalog, showcasing their ability to blend noise rock with melodic elements. As they took the stage, the band's dynamic chemistry was palpable, further highlighting their longevity in the indie rock scene. Interestingly, this performance came shortly before their later hiatus, underscoring the significance of these shows during that pivotal year.
