Sonic Youth / Battery Park
Reborn on the 4th of July
July 4, 2008

Yep, the legendary rockers have made a deal with the frothy devil for their latest release, a compilation called "Hits Are For Squares," with tracks chosen by musicians and celebrities. Weird? Sure. But nobody is going to question the band’s epic live sets, played for free at Battery Park. With The Feelies.
