Sonic Youth is an American alternative rock band formed in New York City in 1981. Since 1985, the band's line-up has consisted ofThurstonMoore, Lee Ranaldo (both vocals and guitar), Kim Gordon (bass guitar, guitar and vocals) and Steve Shelley (drums). From 2000 to2005 JimO'Rourke became a full-time member as a multi-instrumentalist. Before Shelley, Sonic Youth went through several drummers,including BobBert, Richard Edson and Jim Sclavunos.In their early career, Sonic Youth were associated with the No Wave art and music scene in New York City. Part of the first wave ofAmericannoise rock groups, the band carried out their interpretation of the punk rock ethos throughout the evolving American indieunderground thatfocused more on the DIY ethic of the genre rather than its specific sound. They have found moderate mainstream success,and are generallyseen as one of the leading alternative rock groups of their time.Their inspirations were the likes of the guitar symphonies of Glenn Branca (with whom most of the band have performed), the heavy proto-punk of The Stooges, The Velvet Underground, and MC5, the punk poetry of Patti Smith, the Krautrock of Can, the psychedelic garage rockofThe 13th Floor Elevators, as well as avant-garde composers like John Cage. Sonic Youth were often praised for "redefin[ing] what rockguitarcould do" using a wide variety of unorthodox guitar tunings, and preparing guitars with objects like screwdrivers to alter theinstruments'timbre.Taken from Wikipedia.org « hide
