Washing Machine’s 25th Anniversary
 

Sonic Youth will Celebrate Washing Machine’s 25th Anniversary with 2 Special Events on September 26, 2020

Rock Palast stream of Sonic Youth’s Dusseldorf 1996 Concert:
Recorded April 7, 1996 at Phillipshalle in Dusseldorf, Germany – this show captures Sonic Youth in the middle of the “Washing Machine” tour. The band was well-oiled having just come off the Australian/S.E. Asian “Summersault” tour with Beastie Boys, Foo Fighters, and Beck…and were enjoying Spring in Europe. In addition to hits like “Teenage Riot,” “Bull In the Heather,” and “Sugar Kane,” the set also includes 4 tracks off of “Washing Machine” including an epic set-closing “Diamond Sea” (that was a highlight of all shows on the “Washing Machine” tour).

@thesonicyouth will be live tweeting along to a playback of Washing Machine album tomorrow on Twitter at 3pm EST #WashingMachine25

The Twitter listening party was helluva fun. We should do these more regularly!

what was it actually?

one of my all time fav. albums

As with any listening party; everyone hits "play" at the same time, and comments on each track as they go (with members of the band chiming in, as well as the "extra backup singers")... it was fun. Can likely find it all under the hashtag.

(Tim Burgess, of The Charlatans, has been hosting a bunch of these - there's a website of non-SY content here: https://timstwitterlisteningparty.com/ where you can replay in real-time - if you want a sense of what these "feel" like).

hits "play"?

pitty I missed it then.

Yeah, as in plays it at the same time and then raps about each track using the hashtag.was helluva cool!

Ha I just learned about this today incidentally but hadn't seen the website schedule. Thanks! I see Thurston Moore and the Fall listening parties forthcoming...
