Watch: Kim Gordon – Full Concert Performance at Le Trianon

On April 17th, Kim Gordon performed at Le Trianon theatre in Paris, playing her acclaimed new album PLAY ME in full as well as tracks from her previous solo albums The Collective and No Home Record. The full concert was filmed by ARTE and is now available to watch HERE, an arresting document of Gordon’s current musical era. Gordon is backed by her band Emily Retsas (bass), Madi Voigt (drums), and Sarah Register (guitar).

Of Gordon’s recent show at London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire, The Observer wrote, “You don’t miss Sonic Youth much at all tonight. This iteration of Kim Gordon is just so fierce, assured and delightful”, while The Times called it “an electrifying affirmation of avant-punk attitude from a veteran artist who is clearly not going gentle into that good night”. Gordon will embark on further North American headline and festival dates this summer.

Gordon’s third solo album PLAY ME was released in March to widespread acclaim. PLAY ME processes, in Gordon’s inimitable way, the collateral damage of the billionaire class: the demolition of democracy, technocratic end-times fascism, the A.I.-fueled chill-vibes flattening of culture – where dark humor voices the absurdity of modern life. But despite its frequent outward gaze, PLAY ME is an interior record, one in which a heightened emotionality pulses through physical jams, rejecting definitive statements in favor of an inquisitiveness that keeps Gordon searching, ever in process.
