Fans of Sonic Youth had good reason to sulk this weekend?it was announced the rock ?n roll power couple (and dual vocalists/guitarists for Sonic Youth) Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore are separating?something that seems to imply the end not only for one of rock?s longest-running marriages, but for Sonic Youth as well.
Gordon and Moore, who have been married for 27 years?and in Sonic Youth for 30?still plan to tour as Sonic Youth for the remainder of the band?s South American tour.� After that, it seems, anything goes? at least, according to a press release that dropped late last week.
In a statement from Sonic Youth?s label, Matador Records, Gordon and Moore, who ?married in 1984, are announcing they have separated. �Sonic Youth, with both Kim and Thurston involved, will proceed with its South American tour dates in November.?� However, it?s the final lines that should give Sonic Youth fans a sense of foreboding: �?Plans beyond that tour are uncertain.?
So this could be the sad end of Sonic Youth, which, coming on the heels of the REM disbandment, leaves us with very few ?80s art rock bands left (if you say U2, I?m gonna punch you).
What do you think of the Moore-Gordon split?� Will Sonic Youth disband as well?
