Sonic Youth's Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore have separated. The First Couple of indie rock had been married since 1984; they have a 17-year-old daughter, Coco.
A statement from Matador Records says, "Sonic Youth, with both Kim and Thurston involved, will proceed with its South American tour dates in November. Plans beyond that tour are uncertain. The couple has requested respect for their personal privacy and does not wish to issue further comment."
So.... yeah. I no longer believe in true love.

11-05 Buenos Aires, Argentina - Personal Fest 2011
11-08 Montevideo, Uruguay - Festival Primavera
11-10 Lima, Peru - Explanda Monumental
