Video: Thurston Moore Band Performs ‘Germs Burn,’ ‘Detonation,’ Speak To The Wild’ & More

Thurston Moore and his new band, which features bassist Debbie Gooch of My Bloody Valentine, guitarist James Seward, and Steve Shelley, who of course was in Sonic Youth with Moore, perform a 32 minute, four-song set for Seattle’s KEXP.

The group sounds exceptional here and makes me want to revisit the new album, The Best Day.
