What happened to the Feelies? A reunion in 2008, praise by Sonic Youth, etc. An album in 1980, their first, that fell in between the cracks of punk's savagery and the new wave's timidity. Soaring vocals and a glimmer of...

Photos by Will Marsh Hats off to Sonic Youth . Over a quarter century on, and they're still shaking things up. Just get a load of Thurston Moore in the photo above and the clip below, (playfully) rampaging through the press pit during the noise freakout on "Silver Rocket". What a dude! SY were playing Battery Park on U.S. Independence Day (July 4) as part of the River to River Festival . The other...

As nearly every article published last week surrounding The Feelies reunion, the band were somewhat infamous for, in their early days, mainly playing shows on national holidays so it seemed especially fitting to be seeing them on the 4th of...
