Kim Gordon live in Los Angeles

Experience Kim Gordon live on August 1st

Kim Gordon will perform at Pacific Electric in Los Angeles on August 1st, 2026. Gordon is known for her work as a founding member of the influential noise rock band Sonic Youth, active from 1981 to 2011. Her solo musical output, beginning in 2019 with the album *No Home Record*, continues to explore elements of post-punk, experimental rock, and spoken word, often incorporating atmospheric textures and introspective lyrical themes. She frequently utilizes guitar, bass, and electronic elements in her performances.

Pacific Electric is a relatively new intimate music venue located in the Arts District of Los Angeles, opening in late 2023. The space occupies a building with historical ties to the Pacific Electric Railway, the once-extensive electric railway system that served Southern California from the early 20th century. While not directly *in* an original railway structure, the venue’s location and design aesthetic intentionally evoke the industrial feel associated with the railway’s past; exposed brick and a minimalist approach are key characteristics. It has quickly become recognized for hosting a diverse range of emerging and established artists across genres including indie rock, electronic music and experimental soundscapes.
