Gordon has given the following statement concerning her upcoming tour, “I can’t believe the tour is finally happening! Looking forward to playing with my band who are amazing and bringing the music to you. You are the ones gonna make it sizzle.”
The tour was originally scheduled for 2020 but was forced to postpone due to the COVID pandemic and the restrictions placed to contain the virus. Gordon’s forthcoming international shows are in support of her critically acclaimed debut solo album No Home Record released on 11th October 2019 via record label Matador. Despite being released over two years ago, Gordon’s upcoming tour marks the first-ever live series in support of the album. The album sired four singles, the first single entitled “Murdered Out” was released on 12th September 2016.
The album sired critical success with many of music’s most respected institutions publishing rave reviews. Premier Guitar had this to say concerning the release, “A personal evolution, bringing all aspects of Gordon’s multidisciplinary creativity together under one roof. Her preferred minimalist aesthetic…is adeptly channeled into the sparsely layered songwriting on No Home Record.” Pitchfork stated the following, “Kim Gordon’s thrilling solo debut lives at the vanguard of sound and performance, shot through with the beautiful, unsparing noise that has always defined her art.”
Gordon has been described by The New York Times as “the art star queen of New York” and “one of the true influencers of American cool” by Billboard. The 68-year-old artist is best known as the bassist and co-founder of indie rock legends Sonic Youth; the group formed in 1981 and disbanded in 2011 with their final performance at SWU Music & Arts Festival in Brazil but has worked together post disbandment. The group’s distinct sound became era-defining and can be heard within their fifteen studio albums spanning three decades.
Gordon has become a juggernaut within all aspects of the arts and culture. Named as one of the music’s most iconic bassists, she also found success as an author with her 2015 New York Times Bestseller memoir Girl In A Band. The musician has also found success on screen, within the 2018 film Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far On Foot. The musician worked with the celebrated director Gus Van Sant and showcased her acting chops alongside Joaquin Phoenix and Jonah Hill. Gordon has also made waves within the art world; the artist has opened various solo exhibitions across many museums. The multi-talented musician has also released music as Body/Head alongside Bill Nace, the duo formed the experimental outfit in 2011 and released their debut album Coming Apart on 10th September 2013.
Gordon’s upcoming tour is set to kickstart on 13th March 2022 with a performance in Boston, the US leg of the tour concludes with a set on 27th March 2022 at Treefort Festival. Gordon brings her No Home Tour to the UK on 23rd May 2022 in London, after four UK dates Gordon travels to Europe for the remainder of the tour.
