Sonic Youth, El-P, Grizzly Bear Play Free Yr Radio
http://assets4.pitchforkmedia.com/im...adiosmall.jpg? Before the transmission's over and the signal fades, the Urban Outfitters/Toyota Yaris/thrifty hipster covergence that is Free Yr Radio will host a trio of shows that aren't to be scoffed at. The series-- which hosts free in-store performances by really good indie bands, and somehow benefits community radio stations -- will give away Grizzly Bear, El-P, Dntel and Sonic Youth throughout the month of July at your favorite emporium of mass-marketed kitsch.

Grizzly Bear will play an Urban Outfitters in Cleveland on July 12 to benefit WBWC, El-P plays the Avenue of the Americas store in NYC on July 14 to benefit WNHU, and Sonic Youth and Dntel will hit Santa Monica on July 21 to benefit KXLU.
The series hosted the likes of Dinosaur Jr., Klaxons, the Rapture, Man Man, and a whole bunch more throughout the late spring, and they're certainly closing things out with a bang. Video and photos from past events are available on the Free Yr Radio website.

they're definitely the exception - and I think only last year was their first (and so far only) LP for the label.

One of the best Sonic Youth shows I ever saw was free in the parking lot of a Tower Records in SF. I will be there, even just to feel the floor shake.

do you remember anything else about that gig?

Alex's Trip · 06.29.2007, 11:07 PM

I'd like to go, but asking my dad to take me to two shows for the same band in two days is pushing it.

SuchFriendsAreDangerous · 06.29.2007, 11:15 PM

i'm there, cuz its easier for me to get people I know to go to free shows then to the Greek show... and I figured there would be a free show, there always is in Los Angeles, every tour..

I like this flyer with Sonic Youth and the Jerry Garcia Band together...
