cool. finaly reason to go check out norway?

Echtleder 03.25.2008 03:01 PM

"great". maybe finland too? last time they were in finland, 2003, lee said "see you soon" at the end. considering the fact that the previous sy-visit to finland was in 1991, this could still by a small chance be regarded as "soon". so...?

never gone abroad for a band... yet.

Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Finally have something to look forward to this summer.
But why do you always play festivals when you´re here!!=) You cost me alot of money.
So why not do a club gig in Stockholm after or before, that way you save me alot of gas money also

Casper Brotzmann, is a good choice he's a pretty sick guitarorist... haven't heard much about him in awhile.

There are many reasons to go to Norway, but Sonic Youth at Øya, Oslo is a good one..

Oya has an amazing line-up this year...

greenlight 04.18.2008 12:47 PM

just hoping for fly tickets prices to drop a bit later on.

do you think there be more sy shows in Europe that are announced so far?

ThereIsALight 04.19.2008 10:38 AM

I heard they might attend Lokerse Feesten in Belgium which is from 1st till 10th of august, don't know exactly when they might play, it's just a rumour anyway

barnaclelapse 04.19.2008 09:33 PM

See...to me...that'd just be a good excuse to go to some random country and check stuff out.

Somewhere you wouldn't normally think to go.

greenlight 06.13.2008 04:47 PM

greenlight 06.13.2008 05:44 PM

sorry day passes for Oya are still available, it's only 3 day passes that are sold out.

day pass cost you around 60 eur. that's bit expensive tho. isn't it?

just got back from Oya in Norway. it was lovely to SY again. very first row, Thurston's side. great sound. nice performance, Thurston bit calmer than usual. no new songs, damn it. can't remember setlist properly (but very similar to their recent setlists). in no order and I might be missing something, setlist consisted from:

100%
Burning Spear
Drunken Butterfly
Bull In The Heather
Jams Runs Free
Pink Steam
Eric's Trip
Hey Joni
The Sprawl
Cross The Breeze
The Wonder
Hyperstation
ENCORE:
Silver Rocket
Shaking Hell

I've been ask stop taping SY's set. didn't expect any hustle about taping it, coz there wasn't any in my previous experiences. I should have stealth recording. didn't go further back into crowd and taped it from there, stayed in very front and "paid the price" of not having recording. I hope someone else taped it.

went to see Original Silence (I was more aware this time and managed tape that). great set. don't know if to call it improvization, or noise or what, but in my words it was hardcore noise blast from the beginning to the end. support band was very interesting as well. Nisennenmondai is the name of the band. 3 girls from Japan played some fine tunes.


 



 



 



 


I've uploaded more pictures from SY's set and very few from Original Silence here:
