NYC: Thurston Moore & Bright Eyes at Radio City
- story THE FADER
There aren’t many things we can think of that are more New York than seeing Thurston Moore at Radio City Music Hall with the bigass Christmas tree up (but dark) right down the street at Rockefeller. Actually, getting mugged by Al Pacino with a hot dog would be pretty fucking New York too, but we’ll settle. And Conor Oberst is coming along (or headlining) and he’s a great friend of The FADER as well, if a bit of a hillbilly. Just joshin’ Conor. The doors open at 8pm, and the Christmas tree gets lit up on November 28th. Read our Q+A with Thurston Moore from FADER 49 after the jump.

Young Conor planned for two seperate tours this year – one jaunt for each piece of his stylistically disparate double record set that dropped this past January (lead-off cuts from both topped the singles chart with a one-two punch, Puff Daddy style).
The “traditional Bright Eyes show” first leg of the trek, for I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning, went down a while back, and now dude is ready to get Digital Ash in a Digital Urn jumped off tour style.
Backed by members of the Faint and Nick Zinner of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, the Bright Eyes itinnerary includes a stop at Coachella and a week-long residency at Webster Hall in NYC, it will be the first – and perhaps only? – time that Bright Eyes will have the ability to recreate the songs from Digital in a live setting. Mars Black and our pals Airborn Audio will support. Dates after the jump.
