sonic youth touring in 2008?
 

so hey! is a 2008 tour really shaping up or am I getting it wrong?
are they gonna play the US and Europe extensively or just something here and there?

I'd love to see them once more this year!

there has been very few years when they didnt tour.

I don't know if i can be bothered to go all the way down to London again to see them.

Note To SY - Play Birmingham!!!

If they were doing Sister, or Washing Machine or Murray Street from start to finish in London i'd go. But new material???? Hmmmmmmmm.................

I bloody hope they are touring soon, due to a very hideous fuck-over by circumstance I still havn't seen them live. Please SY! Please!!!

no sense in playing a whole album again.
while i still think they should add stereo sanctity to the set!

i'm still disappointed that they played with the Flaming Lips last time through St. Louis. that show sold out faster than it should have. Every lips fan plus every SY fan all crammed into a place like the pageant? not a good idea. they should just put me on the bill so i can see it for free.

s.

...yes, and didn't sy open?...I just don't get that...

I'll be seeing them for my 4th time on April 25th in Nashville, Tennessee. The last time I saw them was in Brookly last July on their Daydream Nation tour !

Woohoo !!

Welcome! That makes 3 confirmed boardies for the Nashville show. Stick around for the roll-call I'll be putting up sometime next week.

I don't know if I'm included in that sum total, but if not, count me in.

Yeah, you're included. I count myself, you, and reg.

Lucky reginald, getting to see them on the DN tour must have been great.

That McCarren pool show in Brooklyn was FANTASTIC !

With all the gear I surely thought they were filming for a DVD. The performance was so crisp and inspiringly energetic. At the end Mark Ibold came on and said he'd wanted JUST the core members to play because it was their hometown, he played with them during their encore of Rather Ripped tunes.

I was directly centered about 30 feet back for the best possible sights and sounds, great crowd and overall atmosphere.

I see you're in K-town, I'm right in Nashvegas near Vanderbilt University about 2 miles from the venue where SY is playing. Is there a preshow meetup somewhere ? I could make suggestions.

the mccarren pool show WAS fucking good.

i dont know if i'll go to the JULY 4 show. ill try

Okay, I just want to say a big "FUCK YOU!!!!!" to the Norwegians of the board. Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine at Øya? C'mon, that's not right. It's not fair. Not fair, say I!

I have no idea why it's bold now.

Go ahead, shoot. I've always wanted to meet my fellow SY boardies. Still have yet to meet one.

I just went to check the venue. It's good. Holds about 1200 and in old warehouse, not too high of ceilings and big bar on the side. Not sure about where to park there, but seeing as I'm less than 2 miles from it, I'll just walk.

When are you coming to town ? Personally, I want to get to City Hall way early to get against the stage for their performance. The stage is chest high which is perfect. I'll take my camera and photo like I did in this shot here I did a couple of years ago.

So anyway, let me know what time you plan on getting to Nashville and what type of place you'd like to go to...restaurant/bar/park, whatever and let's do it.

Sounds like a good place to catch an SY show. It sounds similar to the venue I saw them at before.

I'll probably be there by mid-afternoon (6:00), so that should give us time to try & locate everyone. I'll more than likely be wearing this shirt...


Got it on the Sonic Nurse tour.

BTW, nice pic.

I'll be there around the same time as marley, probably. I have to go to two classes that morning and wait on my friend to get into town. Should be leaving Knoxville around 2 o'clock Nashville time. No idea what I'll be wearing but it'll mostly likely be a black shirt of some kind and bright green Chuck Ts

Alright, sounds like this is coming together. Now, who's going try meeting them? I was stupid last time & didn't try, & there one of the most easiest bands to meet in person. So hopefully this time I'll get the chance.

I met Murph & J.Mascis outside their bus before a show once, so maybe I can catch one of them roaming around the outside of the venue & get them to wish me a Happy B-day on stage. (4-24)

...Just wishful thinking.
