On August 3rd, 2009 Sonic Youth played a last-minute set in San Francisco at the fabulous Independent (in my opinion, one of SF’s best venues for sound and vision). The show was announced on July 28th and sold out the same day. I was late on buying tickets, but with a little bit of persistence/waiting around the box office, they sold me and two other people ticket’s the day of the sold-out show. Sonic Youth will be embarking upon another tour beginning later this month in Pomona, view the dates below.
