Sonic Youth in Sweden
May 27 - Malmo
KB Venue: www.kulturbolaget.se <http://www.kulturbolaget.se> Tickets: www.ticnet.se <http://www.ticnet.se> May 28 - Hassleholm Siesta festival www.siestafestivalen.se <http://www.siestafestivalen.se> may 29 opening sensational fix. |
This made my day! I live only a couple of hours from each venue/town so I'm thinking about going to both shows. It's gonna be so sweet, cough them last time around when they played the Way Out West festival.
|
May 28th is my birthday, so that would certainly make for one hell of an awesome present.
|
I've been waiting for a good reason to go back to sweden for a while. Looks like I found a new one.
|
i haven't been in Sweden yet. I'd love to go. so one their own proper gig in venue and one festival appearance?

It's definitely tempting, my problem is that it's right in the middle of the week, not sure I'll be able to take days off, so planning things ahead in time could be tricky...Unless I buy the tickets and then pray.
|
^^come to germany my italian stallion
|
Come to austria, it's even closer.
|
hmgrmpfll
you both come to germany. its...ah just come :) |
support in Malmo will be:
Sunburned & Skull Defekts can't wait... |
Im pretty much looking forward their setlist ... and I so much hope theyre going to play Drunken Butterfly with Kim dancing above us all :)
|
what to do in malmö for three days (may 27-30)?
record stores, places to see/be etc. any recommendations? |
you can go to "rosengård" and watch the place where zlatan ibrahimovic grew up.=)
Don´t know what to in malmö for 3 days, it´s a pretty small city I think. So just hope the weather is great and you could go to sea and have your self some sun. |
no money no honey. sucks.
|
Malmo setlist
Bull Tomviolence No way calming the snake antenna sacred trickster Hey Joni Sprawl Cross the breeze What we know Jams run free Pink steam --------- Leaky lifeboat anti-orgasm --------- nature scene teenage riot you'll see pro-footage of the show very soon according to same guys that were filming (legally) the show |
Thanks!
|
cheers!
|
Yes!!
To be honest (and optimistic) I was kinda glad no italian dates were scheduled (yet...hopefully) coz I thought they'd play some more song from the new album later on...looks like I was right. Ok, now you can announce italian dates, thanks :D. |

yes, they were slightly on the right, near the way for the smoking area... anyway I don't know where we can see that :( they just told me that they'll make a dvd of the show |
Great show, favorite parts: Tom Violence, Making the nature scene, the new songs (especially Anti-Orgasm) and the fact that they did two encores!
|
This was so good. The band was in excellent mood chearing and conversate with the audience.
The band looked pretty tired aswell, i guess the arrived the same day so a little bit jetlaged. really cool to hear leaky lifeboat and anti orgasm, Thurston fucked up the intro to anti orgasm and was therefore called it the jet leged version of anti orgasm. But they weren´t really rehearsed on thoose songs, so in a few shows they will nailed them. As always tom violence, the sprawl, cross the breeze is so great to hear and the new songs sacred trickster, no way, antenna and calming the snake just getting better and better After teenage riot thurston and lee jumped in the audience with the guitar and messing around for about 5 minutes, you could tell they were enjoying every second of the show. Kim actually smiled alot=) The cameras were the same as in munich so maybe a tour movie is on the works? In a few hours it´s time again, this time with a 16 years old crowd So hope they blowe their brains out=) |
Oh yeah, I forgot. I saw the whole band at the Malmö train station, apparently they took the train to the next gig - it's a half hour or so - and I have to admit I got a bit star strucked. I know that makes me uncool but it was amazing seeing them casually walking around.
|
Were you the only person at the train station who recognised them?
|
It was my friends who saw them first, first came Lee who was standing around casualy looking at the arrivals and departures. Then after a while the rest of the band appeared with two other guys who must have been management or security (do they have security?) Judging from what I saw they could walk freely around (they took their time and Lee bought tickets and talked with people who worked there) without being approached by fans or whatever. There must have been people there who where going to the siesta-festival, so they must have been recognised; but as I said nobody approached them. Which is kinda cool.
|
I'm not the sort of person who zealously approaches famous people when spotted. If I saw Sonic Youth at the Malmo train station, I'd just think to myself: "Hey! Sonic Youth's over there."
|
Highlights from the show att Siesta: Thurston telling the crowd about the new record they have coming out: "It's called Anti-Christ".
Schizofrenia was hot and Expressway a perfect closer. Before the last "to yr skull" Thurston was silent, he picked his fingernails, then said: "This is for Stephen Malkamus" then he sung the last line and they perfermed a long nice noise part. Thurston threw his guitar over the edge of the scene, pulled it back in the cord and then he jumped into the audience, put the guitar into the crowed and had to fight to get it back. They had a really good time by the looks of it. Before Anti-Orgasm, Thurston said "Cross your fingers"... They didn't fuck it up this time. |
Set list:
Teenage riot* Hey joni* No way Calming the snake Antenna Schizphrenia* Sacred trickster Anti orgasm Leaky lifeboat Jams run free* What we know* Pink steam* -------- Expressway* The songs that have the * is in correct order A really great gig, they weren´t on fire like in Malmö, just basically do their jobs, but when Sonic to their jobs it´s never bad! Schizophrenia was really great this night + the finishing with expressway, so powerful! And I now adore no way, sacred trickster and antenna. The crowd was pretty crazy during the first song, but then it all calm down. I don´t sonic youth had alot of fans, but the got great responding from the audience. When I was walking home after the show, I saw the whole band rushing to something, I shoke hand with steve and told kim how great they where tonight. The give me a smile and then rushed on. I guess they was catching the last train or something=) |
The end of Expressway at Siesta Festival. Thurston biting cameras...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8FZX6-a2_E&feature=channel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2ua1TmiaYE&feature=channel The speculations about the filming at malmö gig for a tour video are not true. it's for the swedish program 'kobra', who did interviews w/ kim, lee and thurston. don't know when they broadcast. |
Every Sonic Youth gig I've been to has been filmed professionally, more or less. Footage rarely surfaces. Kobra is a Swedish culture TV-show. It can have some pretty hot stuff featured sometimes. I'm guessing the clip with Sonic Youth will focus on Sensational Fix since this exhibition is getting A LOT of media coverage over here. Kobra can been seen on www.svt.se/kobra

What a great show that was ... probably the best Sonic night Ive ever been to, even though it might still compare with my (up to this Malmö gig) alltime favorite 12/16/06 (Berlin) show.
Does anyone know of any tapers (audio and/or video)? And what the hell was that loud fuzzy sound at the end of the show madness? To me it sounded like a thrown & destroyed beer, but my girlfriend thought part of the lightning system might have crushed due to Thur/Lee guitar madness ... ??! :) |
