Sonic Youth played the first night of a three date residency at London’s Roundhouse last night (August 30).
Playing as part of the Don’t Look Back Festival organised by All Tomorrow’s Parties, the band were reprising their 1988 double album Daydream Nation.
Starting with ‘Teenage Riot’ – highlights from the album included Hendrix tribute ‘Hey Joni’ and ‘Eric’s Trip.’
Afterwards, Sonic Youth were joined by new bass player Mark Ibold, formerly of Pavement, for a set of material from new album Rather Ripped.
They played only one track from their the rest of their past back catalogue – ‘Mote’ from 1990’s ‘Goo‘.
“That’s enough of our old shit!” commented guitarist Thurston Moore.
