Sonic Youth
Sonic Youth - Mote Live Performance at Vip INmusic Festival, Zagreb
In 2007, Sonic Youth was riding high on the success of their album 'Rather Ripped,' which had been released just a year prior. This album marked a significant moment for the band, as it was their first on Matador Records and showcased a more accessible sound without sacrificing their signature experimental edge. Their performance of 'Mote' at the Vip INmusic festival is a raw reminder of how they blended punk energy with intricate guitar work, a staple of their live shows. Interestingly, 'Mote' originally appeared on their 1995 album 'Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star,' showcasing the band's ability to incorporate older material into their setlists while still sounding fresh. Their energetic presence and connection with the audience at this festival reflect Sonic Youth's enduring influence and their commitment to pushing the boundaries of rock music.
