Wonder if Kim & T will say anything to one another. Maybe they'll make up and this whole divorce thing was just a long break. COME ON. I NEED MORE YOUTH.

I have front row tickets for both shows.... can't wait!

SonicBebs · 04.09.2013, 04:05 PM

Hopefully there'll be tickets left when they go on general sale on Thursday. Really need to go to the Plastic Ono Band show and Body/Head

SonicBebs · 04.09.2013, 04:09 PM

Patti Smith is sold out

Body/Head ft. Ikue Mori

20 June 2013

Body/Head, the experimental duo of Kim Gordon and Bill Nace, are joined by legendary No Wave musician, Ikue Mori.

Ikue has been playing electronic percussion for the last 25 years, and her band DNA was one of Kim's original inspirations.

To Body/Head's two-guitar ‘dissonantine’ and haunted vocals, Ikue brings not just her electronics, but also live drumming - this is the first time she is playing a drum kit in public in 25 years.

Kim says of perfroming with Ikue, 'I’ve been searching for a drummer like Ikue to play with ever since seeing DNA play back in the day. Playing with her and Bill is a dream come true.'

Support comes from Mystical Weapons - the collaborative project of Deerhoof drummer Greg Saunier and Sean Lennon.

How much are tickets for the Body/Head show?

Toilet & Bowels · 04.13.2013, 10:21 AM

Ugh, as much as I would like to see Body/Head with Ikue Mori I think £20/£25 is a bit of a joke for what I expect will be a less than 1 hour performance.

blunderbuss · 06.20.2013, 12:46 AM

Thurston didn't disappoint.

A lot of stooges fans milling about outside making the place look untidy but inside body/head were immense

Yoko joined them for the encore which might have given me the biggest smile of the year so far

_tunic_ · 06.20.2013, 04:41 PM

how long did B/H play? In Cologne it was only a forty minutes set which for me was far too short. But they may have had a good excuse as it was outdoors and still freaking hot.

SonicBebs · 06.20.2013, 04:47 PM

Yeah it was about the same here.
Could have gone on longer but what they played was beautiful
