1994
SONIC
YOUTH
on David Letterman
On this performance of "Bull in the Heather"
Kim Gordon gives me the uncomfortable feeling
that I reserve for performance artist
It's unique to the rock world
to be so deeply from the "Art scene" and
"Rock" like a "straight" garage band
SONIC YOUTH
bridge the experimental nature of 1960's weirdoes
like Captain Beefheart and
punk-proto powerhouse's like
The Stooges
More accuratly
SONIC YOUTH
take the artistic ethic of NYC/ Late '70s
NO WAVE
acts like
DNA
add song structure and "the rock" element of bands like
BTO
and "punk rock" elements of bands like
The Ramones
and
Richard Hell and the Voidoids
and
most importantly
SONIC YOUTH
makes this party of influences and makes it their own
