Body/Head

Overview

Drummers, who needs 'em? Sonic Youth co-founder Kim Gordon and genre-obliterating guitarist Bill Nace get together for Sydney Festival to create an avant-noise session — that's absolutely percussion free. And mostly improvised.

By confining themselves to two guitars and Gordon's vocals, the pair push themselves to the outer limits of minimalism. Pitchfork reviewer Marc Masters described their "dedication to a specific point of view" as "intoxicating". To add to this addictive effect, the live show is backdropped with mesmerising visuals.
