With recent shows at The Roundhouse in London, appearances at ATP and from being heavily featured in Black Dog Publishing’s ‘No Wave’ book, interest in Glenn Branca is on the up again.
These days it’s hard to listen to Glenn Branca without thinking of Sonic Youth, whose two guitarists (Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo) both served tours of duties in Branca’s guitar armies. That famous guitar sound, dissonant, jarring, clanging, ringing, chiming, heavenly, beautiful, which first appeared in the Static and the Theoretical Girls, would be used by Sonic Youth in more accessible manners to influence a new generation of alternative rockers.

lineup: Glenn Branca - guitar Ned Sublette - guitar David Rosenbloom - guitar Lee Ranaldo - guitar Jeffrey Glenn - bass Stephan Wischerth - drums
