Sonic Youth

Seeing Sonic Youth play at a VFW hall was one of our formative teenage rock experiences. We’ve since grown up, and SY have, well, grown—wavering at points, perhaps, but never getting watered down. Nurse is the band’s nineteenth album, which means that a whole new generation of appreciative indie kids is out there. We suppose this makes them not just a band for all ages, but a band for the ages. Bully for them! And for us—Nurse is the perfect recording to reinvigorate old fans who long ago got distracted by other stuff. It’s good—even great—enough to remind us why they were so mesmerizing in the first place. 110 N. 5th St., Minneapolis; (612) 338-3383; www.thequestclub.com
