Sonic Youth Presale Tomorrow Morning, Kool Things
It's not like Sonic Youth slacks. They always seem to be on the road, working on new projects, curating this, guest starring that. But this year LA will be spoiled with some special shows by Kim and Thurston and Lee and Steve.
First we get to see them on the first night of Coachella (4/27) right before the Jesus and Mary Chain and Bjork, and right after Peaches. Yowza.
But then later this summer we can sit down and experience the band playing the entire Daydream Nation album at the Greek (7/20).
Tickets for the Greek show will be certain to sell out when they go on sale on Saturday at 10am, so why don't you see what the password daydream does for you during the presale starting tomorrow at 10am.
Holla.
