Thurston Moore Makes Lots of Noise at Sessions at Santa's

Thurston Moore and a friend

As we mentioned last week, the ever-cool and tall Thurston Moore curated the Sessions at Santa's this past Tuesday night. And, Oh My God, it was the most ear-piercing Session yet!!! The first "band" was Noise Nomads, a one-man drum solo freak-out -- so loud! The all-hell-breaking trio called Fat Worm of Error played next and they were so fucking loud too. And Thurston sat down and laid his guitar across his lap Jeff Healy-style then he turned off his iPhone and started thrashing it with a metal rod with his sidekicks Okkyung Lee on cello and Ikue Mori on Mac laptop making stomach-churning unearthly frequencies. In the end, Thurston's trio out-noised the other two previous bands. It was like a dare -- dare to care about the noise that's going to make your ears bleed. But it was still really, really great!
