Neu! the band that inspired SY

Mildred Pierce · 05.15.2006, 07:54 PM

Neu! is a krautrock band from Germany and is the band that inspired Sonic Youth. Try to download it!!!!!
It is a 70's band! If you listen to this you think it is SY because there are not much vocals in Neu!. Hopefully you find it somewhere on the net, it is worth searching!

Sheriff Rhys Chatham · 05.15.2006, 07:55 PM

i thought neu! was some solo guy...

Mildred Pierce · 05.15.2006, 07:58 PM

No it are 2 members, though they use a lot of guest musicians and studio musicians ( chop players)

Sheriff Rhys Chatham · 05.15.2006, 07:59 PM

Oh.
You should check out Glenn Branca, for sure!

Everyneurotic · 05.15.2006, 08:00 PM

are they new? i have never heard of them!!!

maybe they have something to do with this band that wanted me to add them to myspace the other day, they have the stupidiest name, they are called CAN. they said they formed like three months ago after going to see fall out boy live. all i remember about them is that their singer is called damo suzuki.

weirdoes.

Sheriff Rhys Chatham · 05.15.2006, 08:03 PM

Can? hahaha
bunch of lame asses..

Mildred Pierce · 05.15.2006, 08:03 PM

Glenn Branca I allready know, he played with members of SY, huh? And John Cage I know as well....

more like the other way around.

Mildred Pierce · 05.15.2006, 08:08 PM

You mean John Cage is the biggest influence, btw wich books can you get in the US of SY?

Everyneurotic · 05.15.2006, 08:12 PM

no, see...

...thurston, lee and original drummer richard edson played on some of branca's symphonies. i meant that, not like branca jammed with lee once and that's the connection. plus, branca was a rising composer when everybody in ny thought sonic youth were fad band.

also, sonic youth released their first two releases, s/t ep and confusion is sex, on glenn branca's label, neutral records.

Mildred Pierce · 05.15.2006, 08:19 PM

Ok, thanx for the little info, I knew allready that Lee was in his guitar army, if I am right Glenn had a lot of guitar players in his band or should I say orchestra...

Mildred Pierce · 05.15.2006, 08:30 PM

Really? That's probably my favorite Can (or is it CAN?) album. I love Soup (the song).
I miss Mooney's vocals though. I really liked his work on Monster Movie.

By the way, where can I find a list of Thurston's favorite albums?

there was a thread called "sonic youth influences" it died fast, you could try searching for it. because it was in there

HaydenAsche · 05.15.2006, 10:06 PM

Neu! isn't that much like SY.
