Kim Gordon, Koko: The grunge queen of cool rocks out in a sombre fashion

• Kim Gordon, New York’s grunge-era Queen of Cool, exuded icy, regal poise at a steamy Koko packed with hipsters-with-haircuts trying, like her, not to break a sweat. The 71-year-old made them suffer for their art rock with 75 minutes of stumbling beats, sub-bass squelches and squalling noise, all apparently inspired by the abstract end of contemporary hip hop – with not a sniff of any tunes from her glory days in Sonic Youth.
