Thurston Moore Reunites With Steve Shelley to Form The Thurston Moore Band

Thurston Moore has reunited with Sonic Youth drummer Steve Shelley — as well as James Sedwards and My Bloody Valentine bassist Debbie Googe — to form The Thurston Moore Band. Their first performance together is set for August 19, 2014 at Ocii in Amsterdam.

Later in 2014 Moore will release a new solo album, The Best Day, via Matador Records. Moore released his last solo album, Demolished Thoughts, in 2011. He also released an album with metal super-group Twilight in 2012, as well as a self-titled album with his band Chelsea Light Moving in 2013. Since his breakup from wife Kim Gordon, Sonic Youth has unexpectedly ended with Gordon forming Body/Head and guitarist Lee Ranaldo putting out a couple solo albums in the prior couple years.
