 a show now will definitely sell out. they could probably sell out a 3-night stand.  
 
 they've been around since 1981, of course they've played the 930 twenty times.  they have the chops, and the fan base, to pull it off.  deal with it.

i dare anyone to say that one show (or a pair of shows) every two years is "too much" for a band of the caliber of sonic youth.  
 
 if you don't like them, don't go to the show - plenty of other people will be there, we won't miss you  :p

Aren't SY working on a project with Merzbow?
 
 
 Maybe he can open for them and they can debut their colabboration  live and then Seth can buy a new PA for the club after the current one is destroyed.    
 
 
 Edit: it's just a release of a recording of a live performance from three years ago. But still, it'd be a nice way to promote it.

what an oh-so-poignant question.  you, sir, are an iconoclast    :roll:    
 
 are you completely unaware of how many other musicians list them as major influences, or have you just never heard of the band?  to couch it in practical terms: they're a band that can sell out the 930 for two nights in a row.

 but no, i've never really heard Sonic Youth.

[sweetcell]

oh... in that case i was a dick, and i apologize.  yeah, SY are influential.  relatively speaking.

[Vas Deferens]

why are people asking for sonic youth at the club? they toured for "rather ripped" already (two legs)...you can't just ask for it if there's no justification. what are ya? a spoiled brat?    :roll:  ...

[lancha]

hey seth -
 
 have a good 4th of july?

[sonickteam2]

do Sonic Youth sing that song "Get into the Groove" that  Madonna did a cover of?

[peabody]

Smashing Pumpkins in August for their club tour, pls.
 
 Or no chance since you got them last year?
