Biography

Sonic Youth, which initially comprised guitarist / vocalists Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo, guitarist / bassist / vocalist Kim Gordon and drummer Richard Edson, were formed in New York City in 1981. A product of the No-Wave music scene of the late 1970s, the group had their roots in abrasive, experimental music, with Moore and Ranaldo having previously worked with the experimental composer [a=Glenn Branca]. The band were joined in 1985 by drummer Steve Shelley, and recorded 15 albums together, as well as many side and solo projects. Their work has been consistently challenging and innovative, and they are widely regarded as one of the most intriguing and influential bands of their time. This view has been added to by the strength of their record "Sonic Nurse", which also featured the talents of Jim O'Rourke. O'Rourke left the band in 2005. In 2006, Mark Ibold joined the group. In September 2011, Sonic Youth went on "indefinite hiatus" following the separation of Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore (the couple had been married since 1984). First group studio was [l265864] in New York City, after that [l328958] located in Hoboken, New Jersey.

LYRICS

[Thurston]
I can never forget you
the way you rock the girls
they move a world and love you
you're blasting the underworld

i stick a knife in my head
a-thinking 'bout your eyes
but now that you been shot dead
i got a new surprise

but i been waitin' for you just to say
he's off to check his mind
but all i know is you got no money
but that's got nothing to do with a good time

can you forgive the boy who
shot you in the head
or should you get a gun and
go and get revenge?

a 100% of my love
up to you true star
it's hard to believe you took off
i always thought you'd go far

but i been around the world a million times
and all you men are slime
it gone to my head
goodbye i am dead
wastewood rockers is time for crap
hey
