Kim Gordon and Bill Nace are in the last stretch of their
brief tour in support of their debut album as Body/Head, Coming Apart. I saw Thurston Moore’s current band Chelsea Light
Moving at the Empty Bottle in March, and caught a thoroughly underwhelming
performance by Lee Ranaldo and Dust at the Pritzker Pavilion (admittedly not
the best venue) over the summer. Coming
Apart has been slowly revealing its charms since its release last month,
and I’ve already checked in with Gordon’s former bandmates this year, so I
decided to head over the Museum of Contemporary Art last night to see her and
Nace perform (now I just need to figure out what Steve Shelley has been doing
since he quit Disappears and then I’ll maybe be able to make myself feel a tiny
bit better for never going to see Sonic Youth before they split up).
