Legendary Band. Still putting out records. Thurston Moore hasnt aged a day in 20 plus years. One of the most surreal experiences of my entire life is seeing them for the first time ever, at San Fran III, opening for PJ, and how crazy their set was, how their out of tune guitar stuff matched the background visuals they had going on behind them, and how unbelieveably rude the crowd was to Sonic Youth. People were booing and saying "bring PJ out". I know people were excited for PJ, but I mean come on people, its Sonic Youth!
Anyways, they still are doing their thing. The recent album made for Starbucks, the signing with Matador, the putting out of a new record, and appearing on Gilmore Girls a few years back.

they're kinda like My Bloody Valentine that way too.
Steve Shelley has been the Sonic Youth drummer for over 20 years. Mark Ibold helps out the band on some songs.
That said, I'm also a Pavement fan. I saw both bands on the same day at Lollapalooza '95. That was a fun experience.

My bad I meant to say bassist for SY & Drummer for Pavement in my original post.
He joined SY in 05 or 06 when Jim O'Rourke left the band... I know he played on The Eternal and has been considered a full time member since then.
But how cool is it to be in both of those bands.
Will definitely have to dig into them more.
