About this Event
Thurston Moore moved to New York City in 1978, wanting to be immersed in the feral energy of its nightclubs, the angular roar of its bands, and the magnetic personalities within its orbit. But more than anything, he wanted to make music that would move, provoke, and inspire. Sonic Life is a coming-of-age story and a music-obsessed retrospective by an artist whose songs have challenged the basic ideas of what rock music can be. Moore will be in conversation with Alec MacKaye, a musician and writer who has played in punk rock bands since 1979, including The Untouchables, The Faith, Ignition, The Warmers, and currently, Hammered Hulls. He is the author of Hard Art D.C. 1979 and works in the installations/curatorial department at the Phillips Collection Museum.
