Preview: Thurston Moore @ Sixth & I Synagogue 10/9

By Kendall Larade

From his early days immersed in the feral energy of New York’s downtown nightclubs to forming a band that would shape the sound of alternative music, Thurston Moore’s story is a love letter to creativity, rebellion, and the transformative power of sound. In 1981, he co-founded Sonic Youth alongside Kim Gordon and Lee Ranaldo, establishing a cornerstone of the city’s emerging No Wave scene—a bold fusion of art, sound, poetry, and punk. His autobiography, Sonic Life, is a coming-of-age story and passionate retrospective of the moments, people, and music that guided his groundbreaking career.  

Thurston Moore will be joined by Alec MacKaye—punk rock pioneer and writer, known for bands such as The Faith and Ignition—at Sixth & I Synagogue on Monday, Dec. 9. Experience a rich dialogue about art, legacy, and the enduring impact of the underground music scene. Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to his work, Thurston Moore: In Conversation with Alec MacKaye is a rare opportunity to hear from one of the most influential figures in music.
