This week on New Ground, a full band interview/performance with one of the great underground guitar groups of all time: Sonic Youth. Thurston Moore, Kim Gordon, Steve Shelley, Lee Renaldo, and new member Jim O'Rourke discuss with host Chris Douridas the making of their new album Murray Street, the addition of Jim to the band, and the ravages 9/11 made on their recording studio, located just two blocks from Ground Zero. Plus we get a ripping live performance of tracks from the new record.
In addition, Chris profiles up-and-coming band Highwater Rising.
