They're dropping like flies! According to numerous sources (
Austin Chronicle,
Austin 360,
Austin Sound),
Sonic Youth will have to cancel both their Sunday evening ACL Festival performance, as well as their ACL Taping because of a broken wrist to guitarist Lee Renaldo. While there's no official confirmation yet from the band or their label (
Matador), we'll hopefully hear an announcement from
C3 in the near future regarding a replacement. Looks like we don't have to feel so guilty about seeing Dan Auerbach on Sunday evening now.
