Thurston Moore

Overview

Thurston Moore of critically acclaimed art-rock band Sonic Youth is touring nationally during October, playing tracks from his latest record Demolished Thoughts, as well as some of his solo back catalogue.

He’s been recognised as one of the greatest guitarists of all time, and formed Sonic Youth with Lee Ranaldo and Kim Gordon in 1981. Based in New York, the band released sixteen studio albums, garnering praise for such groundbreaking records as Daydream Nation and Goo, which impressed even the musically elite.

Now travelling solo, Thurston has spent recent times touring his latest album, an intensely personal record, which has been dubbed a work of art as much as it is a musical treasure.

Australian fans rejoice: in addition to his performance at the Melbourne Festival, Thurston will be appearing in Sydney, Adelaide and Perth, as well as Brisbane.
