Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore anounce they are splitting up

Sonic Youth @ Williamsburg Waterfront in August (more here)

Well... shit. Didn't see this one coming. According to a Matador rep (via Spin):

"Musicians Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore, married in 1984, are announcing they have separated. Sonic Youth, with both Kim and Thurston involved, will proceed with its South American tour dates in November. Plans beyond that tour are uncertain. The couple has requested respect for their personal privacy and does not wish to issue further comment."

Sad. I'm hoping that Sonic Youth show we caught in August wasn't the last ever New York City performance. We wish them both the best!
