In further Gossip Girl news, Sonic Youth is slated to appear once again on the cult show about the elite of Manhattan’s Upper East Side; the band will be featured on the fifth show in the upcoming season in a “very special event” performing “Starpower” off of 1986’s EVOL. Last season, Thurston Moore and former Be Your Own Pet frontwoman Jemima Pearl collaborated on a cover of the Ramones’ “Sheena is a Punk Rocker” for the show, and Moore used Gossip Girl as a backdrop while playing solo shows last year.
