My teacher had a Sonic Youth t-shirt today, from their Sensational Fix art exhibition. That was pretty cool, that doesn't happen every day.

The thread starter either doesn't know enough people or hangs out with the "wrong" kind of people.

And there's other bands too. Fuck Sonic Youth!

Its true there are concerts in sacramento, but they are either some shitty local punk/metal band or some hip hop, very rarely does anyone legit come here. The only two i can think of lately was Mike Watt and Frank Black.

I figured I was the only one from my city on this forum but I now see there are at least four of us.

I am lucky in that A LOT of my friends know & love SY. Not as much as I know & love them, but still. I get to share much of my musical exploits with my bff's & Im thankful.

HI, btw T! When did you start posting here? Are you stalking me?

I'm in Sacramento too and while talking about SY doesn't really come up much, there are plenty of people and amazing bands in town. Are you familiar with KDVS? If not, start listening to 90.3fm and you'll never bother with any other local staion. The station puts on great shows every week. Check out undietacos.org for a list of small club and house shows that are always going on.

Did you make it to O:RMF X last week? It is the stations twice-a-year festival and there were tons of great bands. If you like SY, you may want to consider checking into it. They were not SY-like bands, but being a SY fan shows you are interested in different sounds and there was plenty of that. There was also the 2-day NoiseFest that happens every year. I've never made it to one myself, but if SY led you to noise bands you can check that out too.

yeah, i think most of us have gone through the "Sonic Youth? Weren't one of their songs in there, or something?"

i then explain that it's a cover of The Carpenters.

but. i too am "the guy who listens to Sonic Youth". But, people find that such a weird thing for some reason. maybe it's because of the really strong animosity towards noise...?
