Sonic Youth is dead. The partnership between Thurston Moore and Kim Gordon was the astounding creative impetus behind the experimental alt-rock behemoth. Upon ending, it brought the three decade-long career of one of America's great bands to a close. Fortunately, two new acts have quickly sprouted above Sonic Youth's grave: Gordon's Body/Head and Moore's Chelsea Light Moving. The latter are performing tonight at the Tralf Music Hall. Doors open at 7pm and tickets are only $15.
Every bit as challenging and wild as Sonic Youth, Chelsea Light Moving are at times reminiscient of a garage-punk reworking of the Velvet Underground. They can be seen onstage alongside Speedy Ortiz this evening, presenting striking evidence of Moore's continued relevance in the indie world.
