Saturday Sonic Youth !








Lesson learned: 1. Do not drive to Canal St. exit from Holland Tunnel in the middle of a Saturday afternoon 2. Take the train instead.

It took us about 2 hours from Jersey City to get to Brooklyn because of the ridiculous amount of cars and traffic getting out from Holland Tunnel to Canal street exit. Spotted! Fake shit!
One thing great about driving to Williamsburg/Greenpoint is there's plenty of parking space in the area since most kids there ride bicycles. Bikes every fawking left and right. Show started with Vivian Girls opening for the show. Typical criticism / Overheard, "Is that a song?" or "Do another 20 second song!". I think it's the first time I saw Ali hit the drums really hard, which is actually pretty good but I think if they played a later time, the crowd would have been much better. Times New Viking was the second band playing, I actually wish they played a cleaner guitar and had a bass player. 3rd band, Wolf Eyes, I will just say they're okay, maybe if I was on acid it would be a different story. Finally, the band we all have been waiting for, SONIC YOUTH!

All I can say is that they are fawking awesome!
