	Ciccone Youth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ciccone Youth is an experimental band which was formed in 1986.
		The Sonic Youth Album "Sister" released in 1986, the same year as Ciccone Youth's 3 track release, also contains material heavily influenced by Ciccone Youth.
		The band's name is a play on the names "Sonic Youth" and "Ciccone", the original surname of pop singer Madonna.

	Sonic Youth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In their early career, Sonic Youth were associated with the No Wave art and music scene in New York City, but have outlasted most associated bands.
		Part of the first wave of American post-punk groups, Sonic Youth carried out their interpretation of the punk rock ethos throughout the evolving American indie underground (as the title of their documentary 1991: The Year Punk Broke demonstrates) that focused more on the DIY ethic of the genre rather than its specific sound.
		While Sonic Youth comes from a different background than the typical jam band (punk/post-punk as opposed to psychedelic), their approach to this background is similar to the jam bands approach to their own.

	Tiny Mix Tapes Music Reviews: Sonic Youth Music Review
		Geffen's decision to reissue Sonic Youth's debut self-titled EP concurrently with Ciccone Youth's The Whitey Album and Thurston Moore's Psychic Hearts was a curious one.
		And while the Ciccone Youth record poked fun at Top 40 radio dreck, Moore, freed from the constraints of recording with a well-established band, takes the opportunity to commit to tape some of his most pop-inflected recordings to date.
		By no means signaling the end of Sonic Youth's career, the new record instead shows the band veering ever so slightly back toward the edginess and unpredictability that helped to make their early efforts so original and groundbreaking.

	Ciccone Youth "The Whitey Album" LP - SYR17
		Sonic Youth's seventh album sort of originated with a long-running band joke involving SY's claim to one day cover the Beatles' White Album in its entirety -- somehow this project morphed into a twisted beatbox/sampler experiment masquerading as a tribute to Madonna...
		The first Ciccone Youth single, featuring SY's version of "Into The Groovey" and Mike Watt's cover of "Burnin' Up" was initially released in 1986.
		Ciccone Youth unveiled themselves again on the "Master-Dik" EP, and decided to round out an entire album in late '87/early '88.

		More of a good-natured prank than an actual band, Ciccone Youth was a short-lived vehicle in which indie underground noisemakers Sonic Youth further explored their obsession with popular culture.
		In the mid-'80s, the members of Sonic Youth (especially Thurston Moore and Kim Gordon) made no secret of their fascination with Madonna; they were known to discuss her life and career in interviews, and the album EVOL listed "Madonna, Sean, and I" as an alternate title for the closing tune "Expressway to Yr.
		Released by Watt's New Alliance label under the name Ciccone Youth (in honor of Madonna's surname), the single became an underground success, and a widespread (but unconfirmed) rumor had it that Madonna herself persuaded Warner Bros. not to take legal action against the record for unauthorized use of her sampled voice.

	TrouserPress.com :: Sonic Youth
		Sonic Youth, unlike so many of the noise bands that formed in New York at the beginning of the '80s, has had the fortitude to hold on long enough to develop its ideas well beyond the original stances.
		While the band was capable of rocking with purpose, the overall tone on the early records is a diffuse, hovering anxiety, a vague sense of impending doom.
		During this early period, Sonic Youth was intimately connected with the noisy remnants of the New York no wave scene, inspired by the dense guitar tapestries of Rhys Chatham and Glenn Branca, with whom Moore and Ranaldo had both played.

		But in reality it is far stranger than that: a highly experimental tribute to Madonna performed by Sonic Youth with the exception of one song that is entirely played by Mike Watt without any other musicians accompanying him.
		Sonic Youth takes a shot at "Into the Groove" (renamed "Into the Groovey") and manages to mold a fantastic dirge out of the original.
		Although it was only a side project, the intense creativity of this time in Sonic Youth's career spills out all over this album, making it a rare treat for fans.

		Ciccone Youth: J Mascis, Kim Gordon, Lee Ranaldo, Mike Watt, Steve Shelley, Thurston Moore, Bob Bert.
		Sonic Youth, puckishly self-dubbed with Madonna's surname and assisted by Mike Watt of FIREHOSE and J. Mascis of Dinosaur Jr., cover two of The Blonde One's hits ("Burnin' Up" and "Into the Groove(y)") on THE WHITEY ALBUM.
		While not a "proper" Sonic Youth release, THE WHITEY ALBUM embodies the band's experimental side like few of their later records do.

	Sonic Youth (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Sonic Youth's accomplishments are vast and thus difficult to boil down to a single sentence, but here's a stab: SY took the abstract, often cerebral experimentalism of academic music and avant-garde jazz and made it punk.
		No discussion of Sonic Youth would be complete without some mention of Ciccone Youth, a bizarro side project the group launched around this time to pay twisted tribute to pop chart-topper Madonna (Ciccone is, of course, the Material Girl's surname).
		Surprisingly slim by Sonic Youth standards at only seven songs, Murray Street is to the band's late '90s' output as Goo was to their late '80s output, consolidating the reflective ambient rock sprawl of recent years into tight, focused song-based pieces marked by surprisingly crisp, mellow guitar work and only occasional fireworks.

		Sonic Youth was one of the most unlikely success stories of underground American rock in the '80s.
		The group's profile increased further with the 1988 Ciccone Youth side project The Whitey Album, which was a tongue-in-cheek tribute to Madonna and other parts of mainstream pop culture.
		Neil Young invited Sonic Youth to open for him on his arena tour for Ragged Glory, and though they failed to win over much of the rocker's audience, it represented their first major incursion into the mainstream; it also helped make Young a cult figure within the alternative circles during the '90s.

		Originally fueled by the ripping guitar of Glenn Branca alumns Ranaldo and Moore, Sonic Youth grew into - and maintain their stature as - a rock 'n' roll aural-experimentation unit beyond compare.
		A perpetually active band, Sonic Youth will surely entertain and challenge for years to come.

	Sonic Youth: Daydream Nation ---Ink Blot Magazine
		In 1988 Sonic Youth released Daydream Nation, a double-album that spreads itself across a musical landscape as vast and pacific as jazz, and as energetic as punk rock.
		The interplay of distortion, echoing guitar chords, and heartbeats on the drums on tracks like "Total Trash" disfigure, contort and replace any conceptions of rock that a listener might have.
		For Sonic Youth, there is no such thing as an out-of-tune instrument, just a new pitch or tone to experiment with.

	Sonic Youth / Ciccone Youth / Thurston Moore: Sonic Youth / The Whitey Album / Psychic Hearts: Pitchfork Record Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Beyond the requisite history lesson and catalogue gap-filling, the triad's dropped in anticipation of the band's 15th studio album, Rather Ripped, which is out in June, and maybe as a nod to Ecstatic Peace!, Moore's excellent experimental and noise label, teaming with Universal.
		Packaged with extensive (and worthwhile) liner notes from Byron Coley, Glenn Branca, original Sonic Youth drummer Richard Edson, and a note from Moore regarding the relation of reggae and Can to the tracks contained therein, Sonic Youth is also bolstered by seven live tracks and an early demo, all from 1981.
		Finding the crew, along with Mike Watt (who offers liner notes penned in 1993), adopting Madonna's surname, Ciccone Youth are hopped-up on hand claps, drum machinations, lo-fi industrial, repetitious loops, and wily cover tunes.

	Ciccone Youth - The Whitey Album - On Second Thought - Stylus Magazine
		One of American punk’s great bassists happened to be a member of Ciccone Youth, and he still couldn’t explain their concepts or why they were even named in honor of Madonna Louise Ciccone.
		Sonic Youth then released the humble demo on a 7-inch along with the band’s tunes, “Tuff Titty Rap” and “Into the Groovey” under the peculiar moniker of “Ciccone Youth.” Watt’s demo was his lone contribution to the project, which was all Greek to him anyway.
		Sonic Youth seems to have an innocent sense of fun and awe with the pop they scrutinize, rather than taking the easy way out by desecrating it.

	Sonic Youth's magic makes out with Madonna - Minnesota Daily
		Although Sonic Youth gets credit for pioneering the artsy, post-punk avant-garde sound (translation: hella feedback), the group always has had a love affair with pop culture and a specific obsession with Madonna.
		Sonic Youth began in 1981 and Madonna released her first single, "Everybody," in 1982.
		Recent underground and pop have had a closer relationship, but the lesson here is that Ciccone Youth was ahead of its time.

		Bursting on the scene in 1981, heavily influenced by the experimental music of Glenn Branca, Sonic Youth quickly became known for their wild, energetic live shows and a strong emphasis on sound textures.
		During this period Sonic Youth also recorder Ciccone Youth's The Whitey Album with Black Flag's Gregg Ginn and Minuteman Mike Watt.

	Sonic Youth: Rather Ripped: Pitchfork Record Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The title of Sonic Youth's newest album references a defunct Berkeley, Calif., record store, but it's also a fitting description for the band's tautest set in 25 years.
		As the militaristic stencils on the cover suggest, these 12 tracks add up to one super chiseled physique; critics needn't exaggerate Rather Ripped's concision, though, Sonic Youth manage to sneak in all sorts of noisy accents, oddball tunings, and crescendo transitions into their so-called pop record.
