If it ain't broke: Chelsea Light Moving, the latest project of Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore, continues the alt-rock pioneer's journey into the depths of explosive dissonance and thundering guitars. The band visits The Grey Eagle on Tuesday, March 5, the same day its self-titled debut hits stores. Photo by Carlos van Hijfte
