SY1 Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore Separate, Sonic Youths Future Uncertain

Thurston Moore and Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth have separated after a 27-year marriage. The couple have played in Sonic Youth since 1981, and were married in 1984. They have a 17-year-old daughter, Coco.

Matador Records released the following statement:

“Sonic Youth, with both Kim and Thurston involved, will proceed with its South American tour dates in November. Plans beyond that tour are uncertain. The couple has requested respect for their personal privacy and does not wish to issue further comment.”

With that in mind, here are what could be Sonic Youth’s final dates:

11/05 Buenos Aires, Argentina @ Personal Fest 2011
11/08 Montevideo, Uruguay @ Festival Primavera
11/10 Lima, Peru @ Explanda Monumental
11/13 Santiago, Chile @ Maquinaria Festival
11/14 Sao Paulo, Brazil @ SWU Music and Arts Festival

    is it selfish of me that i’m upset just because i don’t think we’ll see another (true) sonic youth record?
