Thurston Moore solo acoustic @SXSW2010

Jef Mertens · 03.22.2010, 12:43 AM

Haven't heard much of Thurston's solo performance...

After Frightened Rabbit, it was back to the east to see Thurston Moore at the French Legation Museum. This place is one of the best to chill out at with two stages and a nice lawn. Thurston Moore opted to perform at the smaller stage which was great as it is set up at the bottom of a slight hill which provided great viewing/listening. It was a mellow, intimate performance and afterward he stopped for photos with a few people including who I am pretty sure was Eddie Steeples (Darnell aka The Crab Man from My Name Is Earl).

opened the night(!) solo on an acoustic 12-string guitar, playing multi-layered, dream-like folk rock songs with titles like “Friends,” “Blood”, “Circulation” and “With Out.” The tunes were suggestive of what Sonic Youth (Moore’s day job when not running his label) would sound like sans effects pedals and a back band, and about a half hour in, Moore thanked the crowd for listening to what were essentially a bunch of demos.

was this his only set? my friend took a pic that appears to be thurston solo acoustic in a club in the evening (i believe after the demolished thoughts set?)

Jef Mertens · 03.22.2010, 01:31 AM

I think he might have played two sets. I've seen other pictures where he played inside.

thank you! new song seems like a nice continuation of TOTA. it's seems like it will be something from same waters..acoustic..maybe not.

Adolfo · 04.13.2010, 12:42 PM

I think this album is going to be a killer. Maybe thurston's gonna put a kurt vile psychadelic vibe over the record. Just dreaming

greenlight · 04.13.2010, 01:08 PM
