The Thurston Moore Band
THE THURSTON MOORE BAND IN CONCERT: Alternative rock supergroup The Thurston Moore Band represents an introspective new direction for their titular frontman following his experimental, noisy time with Sonic Youth. While the singer/guitarist/songwriter is known for speaker-shredding feedback and flamethrower riffs, he’s now turned his focus toward melodious jamming in this new project. Longtime fans and newcomers alike will be swept up by the droning, atmospheric meditations of new favorites like “The Best Day”, “Speak to the Wild”, and “Germs Burn”. To help him breathe life into each heady orchestration, he’s gathered some of the best experimental musicians working today: in addition to Sonic Youth drummer Steve Shelley sitting behind the kit, bassist Debbie Googe (My Bloody Valentine) and guitarist James Sedwards (Nought) will join Moore in his ecstatic riffage.
