Summary:
"From the founding member of
Sonic
Youth, a passionate
memoir
tracing the author's
life
and art -- from his teen years as a music obsessive in small-town Connecticut, to the formation of his legendary rock group, to thirty years of creation, experimentation, and wonder. Thurston Moore moved to Manhattan's East Village in 1978 with a yearning for music. He wanted to be immersed in downtown New York's sights and sounds -- the feral energy of its nightclubs, the angular roar of its bands, the magnetic personalities within its orbit. But more than anything, he wanted to make music -- to create indelible sounds that would move, provoke, and inspire. His dream came to
life
in 1981 with the formation of
Sonic
Youth, a band Moore co-founded with Kim Gordon and Lee Ranaldo.
Sonic
Youth became a fixture in New York's burgeoning No Wave scene -- an avant-garde collision of art and sound, poetry and punk. The band would evolve from critical darlings to commercial heavyweights, headlining festivals around the globe while helping introduce listeners to such artists as Nirvana, Hole, and Pavement, and playing alongside such icons as Neil Young and Iggy Pop. Through it all, Moore maintained an unwavering love of music: the new, the unheralded, the challenging, the irresistible. In the spirit of Just Kids,
Sonic
Life
offers a window into the trajectory of a celebrated artist and a tribute to an era of explosive creativity. It presents a firsthand account of New York in a defining cultural moment, a history of alternative rock as it was birthed and came to dominate airwaves, and a love letter to music, whatever the form. This is a story for anyone who has ever felt touched by sound -- who knows the way the right song at the right moment can change the course of a
