Band to Sell Guitars, Amps, LPs and More from Throughout Career on Reverb

Wednesday, October 24, 2018-nugs.net, the leading live music distribution platform for concert recordings, webcasts, and live archival releases has partnered with Sonic Youth to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the band's landmark album, Daydream Nation.

Effective immediately, Sonic Youth fans can access the initial live audio and video content being offered through nugs.net's ongoing archival release program. This content is available in the nugs.net music streaming service as well as in multiple download formats ranging from MP3 to hi-resolution audio, as well as on CD.

"Through the years and as the times changed we recorded our live shows as often as we could, on cassettes, DATs, CD-Rs and later on multi-track recorders. We collected fan-generated audience tapes, shady bootlegs and anything we could get our hands on. We now maintain an archive of hundreds of hours of Sonic Youth concerts and we'd like to share some of our favorites, often from the best uncirculated source possible via nugs.net." said Sonic Youth drummer, Steve Shelley.

nugs.net founder and CEO, Brad Serling added "Sonic Youth's music has influenced innumerable artists across many different genres, past, present, and will continue to do so into the future. For fans this is an incredible opportunity to revisit what they delivered as a live band touring the planet for three decades."

Sonic Youth's partnership with nugs.net kicks off with the following shows; additional releases will appear on a regular ongoing basis:

  • November 5, 1988: Cabaret Metro, Chicago, IL USA

*In further recognition of the 30th Anniversary of the 1988 release Daydream Nation, members of Sonic Youth recently unveiled plans for special "30 Years of Daydream Nation" events to take place in select cities. This will consist of the screening of three films and additional previously unseen footage. One film features a concert shot on video by filmmaker Lance Bangs, of the band playing Daydream Nation in its entirety in Glasgow, Scotland in 2007.

Screenings have taken place in Portland, Oregon, Seattle, and Los Angeles, with a San Francisco screening tonight at The Alamo Drafthouse. Future screenings are scheduled for Chicago, Austin, Philadelphia, and Brooklyn with potentially more dates on the horizon. Details for upcoming events are as follows:

  • October 24, 2018: San Francisco, CA, New Mission Theatre with discussion panel featuring Lance Bangs, Steve Shelley, Sonic Youth archivist Aaron Mullan and Brian Turner in conversation.
  • November 11, 2018: Chicago, IL, Music Box Theater with discussion panel featuring Thurston Moore, Steve Shelley, and Sonic Youth archivist Aaron Mullan.

The Official Sonic Youth Reverb Shop will launch on Tuesday, October 30, and will feature more than 200 pieces of gear used on tour and in the studio as far back as the 1988 and 1989 Daydream Nation tours through to 2011.

yeah ! i much prefer listening to Moore talking about music than playing his own stuff.
in a Wire mag article he picked the KAAOS side of the split 7" with CADGERS as his favourite
record sleeve. i reckon i checked out DIE KREUZEN because SY liked them.
i was looking for interviews were he talked about Hardcore last week so delighted to hear this.
would like to hear something similar with J Mascis.
love most of the bands he mentions here - easy to get most of this for a long time but respect to anyone who dug this over 35 years ago....
