Sonic Youth

On August 12, 2011, Sonic Youth performed a live set at the Williamsburg Waterfront in Brooklyn, shortly after the release of their album "The Eternal" from 2009. This album marked a significant moment in their career as it was their first release on their own label, Matador Records, after parting with Geffen. With a gritty, experimental sound, "The Eternal" showcases the band’s quintessential blend of noise rock and alternative music, demonstrating that even after decades in the industry, they were still pushing the envelope. Interestingly, the concert featured opening acts like Kurt Vile and Wild Flag, setting a vibrant atmosphere for the night. The setting in Williamsburg, a hub of creativity and indie culture, beautifully complemented Sonic Youth's artistic ethos, making this performance a notable milestone in their journey.
