I hear that the set was great as I knew it would be but all the assholes around me made it hard to enjoy. Oh well maybe there will be less assholes in Dallas tomorrow night.

Oh yeah and if anyone got any good pix or a recording of the show please give me a shout.

I thought Austin was cooler than that.

it is but not at stubbs though. thats why ive never been to a night show there once in the ten years ive lived here. ive sat outside there before with sonic youth but other than that the only time i did go was for the free melvins show during the day for sxsw and the same exact thing happened to me. yeah stubbs is a magnet for everything thats wrong with this city, which is that its home to the second largest university in the world.

srsly its because stubbs is all ages. that has to be the only explanation. not to be an ageist or anything but thats the only real difference i can come up with shitty ten years of bands or not.

For SY, it wasn't under-21 kids that were the problem. And it wasn't college kids either. It was late 20's drunk dicks and their stoned whore girlfriends

[Androol]

well you probably have a really good point then and its just that stubbs has the cheesiest bands in the world and so it is just a magnet for bad taste.

unfortunatley this town has really been hurting for a good mid to large venue ever since liberty lunch closed. i have no other idea where sonic youth would play other than stubbs unfortunately.

[Androol]

oh wait they played at that one other place la zona rosa once. ive never been there before.

ok actually i just figured it out you wanna know what causes it at stubbs?



that stupid fucking barricade

all the really stupid obnoxious people in the back who dont know what the fuck theyre doing see all this space up front and think theyve got it all figured out. that baracade really pisses me off regardless and is one of the reasons i hate that place if not the biggest reason

but yeah id bet my life thats whats causing it. way too much of a coincidence that happened to me. actually now that im thinking of it because that melvins show was my first time there i kinda remember thinking the same thing as those assholes but it wasnt my first rodeo so i knew to err on the side of caution.

[Rob Instigator]

about 20 feet from the stage to the right was gr4eat, just people fucking rockin



got lucky!

[jonathan]

Marfa was amazing.

[Rob Instigator]

I would have loved to drive to amrfa for the saturday show, but I co0uld not do it.

[exmachina]

ROCK REVIEW: Group's sparkle stays bright

12:00 AM CDT on Monday, October 8, 2007


By MIKE DANIEL / The Dallas Morning News

Name change proposal: "Sonic Youth" should heretofore be known as "Sonic Fountain of Youth."
OK, maybe not. For one, it'd blow the advantage of name recognition for one of rock's most enduring and consistently inventive alternative acts. But there's something invigorating and restorative about Sonic Youth's noise rock – something that, at the very least, has kept its members nearly as exciting to watch and hear live as they were more than 20 years ago.
The artsy Big Apple outfit played Dallas' House of Blues on Sunday night. It scored the reunited Meat Puppets as an opener, which only sweetened the lure for the approximately 750 folks who attended.
Sonic Youth bookended a special gig on Saturday in distant Marfa, Texas, in connection with the Chinati Foundation's Open House 2007 – one of the state's coolest see-and-be-seen modern-art shindigs – with dates in Austin and Dallas that had no ties to any tour. In fact, Sonic Youth singer/guitarist Thurston Moore will commence a trek in support of his fresh solo CD, Trees Across the Academy, in two weeks. His tourshould last well into 2008.
That the Dallas concert was likely Sonic Youth's last for quite a while definitely seemed to energize the proceedings. But even if Mr. Moore, 49, hadn't clutched his mic and yelped like a brazen metal-band frontman during "100%," and even if bassist-singer Kim Gordon, 54, hadn't flailed about in a fashionable silk blouse and black leggings like a postmodern neo-punk scenester vet during "What a Waste," the show would have been phenomenal.
The 85-minute set's songs were heavily sourced from two discs – last year's Rather Ripped and 1988's definitive Daydream Nation. Choices that deviated from those CDs ("100%," "Skip Tracer," "Schizophrenia") tended to showcase for Mr. Moore and guitarist Lee Ranaldo.
Incidentally, the vocals were the least memorable part of the gig; Ms. Gordon and Mr. Ranaldo sounded too matter-of-fact on "The Sprawl" and "Hey Joni," respectively.
But they redeemed themselves later, with choices ranging from the chilling harmonic- and pick -slide-propelled proto-ballad "Do You Believe in Rapture?" to the majestic, proggy hop, skip and leap of "The Trilogy."
That kids barely born when Sonic Youth put out Bad Moon Rising in 1985 were banging their heads during "What a Waste" says volumes about how invigorating the concert was. The members of Sonic Youth don't appear to be aging much, but when they eventually do, they can rest knowing that the band's music will never get old.
