A quick translation...

Ghosts of New York

The New York band Sonic Youth, regarding fundamental rock scene from the 80s, confirmed through his website that will be performing in Uruguay on November 8.

"Sonic Youth is enchanted to announce his return to South America. The band first visited Uruguay on November 8 at the Teatro de Verano, as part of his upcoming South American tour, which will join the announcement of one or two more shows "said a statement on the website.

The visit will mark a little over a year after another historic concert at the Teatro de Verano, that of the Pixies, who along with Sonic Youth were the main influence of a litter of groups with Nirvana at the helm.

Formed in 1981 in New York, Sonic Youth (the name comes from Fred "Sonic" Smith, MC5 guitarist) redefined the sound of the guitar in the rock, becoming mainstays of a movement that labels the dictatorship of imprecisely defined as "indie" or alternative, and to mark the fate of the music industry in the '90s.

With punk roots, with emphasis on the use of noise as part of the musical structure, the search for new textures in alternate tunings and sadism with highly productive tools, Sonic Youth moved from its start easily between climate scenarios as diverse as dense, accessible melodies and sonic catharsis.

The career of the band is Thurston Moore, Kim Gordon and Lee Ranaldo comes shining as leading figures consistently for three decades, illuminating the way to rock a long line of trainees painstaking and no sign of extinction. Although it is impossible to try to cover with justice in four or five paragraphs, we leave you with a video of a signature song, "100%", which illustrates how the group can also make short songs and a devastating blow to the chin.

God damn there's a strong possiblity the band split up after the southamerican tour and I ain't got no money to see them here in Santiago. If any foreign user is thinking about following the band down to this side of the world I'm willing to offer my house so you can stay, eat, sleep, take a bath, play guitar with me, listen to some music, play with my brother's PS3, watch some SY dvd's, have some fun you know.... in exchange I will only ask you to pay for my ticket to the show. I can scort you from the airport the day you arrive and then give you a ride back to the airport when you have to leave.

I don't mind posting this very same message in every related thread, please understand how desperate I am to see what could be my fave band's last tour!!!

PM for further details on this offering.
