This explains how Sonic Youth were underground in the 80s, at the time they've already did at least seven albums lmao and they called them "new band"

@@morbidmanmusic its true, in fact they told Thurston in advance the show would never be aired or even recorded, so yes I can see how he would be unaware of being on live tv, in a similar way that the beatles were exposed to millions of americans.

I was going to say that putting Sonic Youth together with Paul Shaffer's Band is the most avant-garde move on network TV but then Thurston falls on his butt right after I thought about it... I can't, I was holding my sides... Then I remembered that Paul's band used to be the supporting band to a lot of musical acts on the show in the late 80s, early 90s... they were quite talented. One of the best SY's TV appearances.
@danielstoddart8 ай бұрын
This is one of those situations on the Letterman show where they really should have let Sonic Youth play alone as a band. Two drummers, two bassists, and *three* guitarists? It's really too much and doesn't work with Sonic Youth's sound. They were such a self-contained band that it doesn't make sense to have them play with additional musicians.

King krule was talking about something like this when asked about conan’s horn section playing with them. He agreed because it added another element to the song. How often will the chance to have a late night backing band join you? they’ve probably played this song 1000s of times, just the four of them on any other night.

Not really: "Goo", SY's first release on a major label (Geffen), was released in 1990 and reached number 96 on the US Billboard 200, "Nevermind" was released only by the end of 91. It was SY who suggested that Geffen signed Nirvana in the first place, then SY took Nirvana on tours as supporting band. Geffen was investing hard on all of their rock bands at the time.
