Lee Ranaldo (Sonic Youth) and Ian Williams (Battles) Are Recording a Live Talkhouse Music Podcast in New York

The Talkhouse is taking up residence at Samsung 837. Join us for our next conversation.

The Talkhouse Music Podcast is taking up residence at New York’s Samsung 837 space on Wednesday, April 13, for a conversation between Lee Ranaldo, co-founder of Sonic Youth, and Ian Williams of Battles.

The two are scheduled to sit down for a chat between 12 p.m. and 2 p.m. at Samsung’s new flagship store (837 Washington Street) and we’re sure they’ll have a lot to discuss. 

Those of you in New York should definitely come down and watch these two amazing artists converse. As for our non-New York friends, we’ll be posting what’s sure to be an intriguing conversation to the Talkhouse very soon. In the meantime, check out a playlist to get you primed for this talk.
