Gordon also formed the musical project Free Kitten with Julia Cafritz (of Pussy Galore) in the 1990s, and debuted as a producer on Hole's debut album ''Pretty on the Inside'' (1991). Gordon also worked on a fashion line called ''X-Girl'' in 1993, and continued to write and release material with Sonic Youth throughout the 1990s and on into the late 2000s. Gordon has collaborated with Ikue Mori, DJ Olive, William Winant, Lydia Lunch, Yoko Ono, Raymond Pettibon, Courtney Love, and Chris Corsano. In 2012, after the breakup of Sonic Youth, Gordon formed Body/Head with friend Bill Nace, releasing their debut album ''Coming Apart'' in September 2013. Gordon's memoir, ''Girl in a Band'', was published in February 2015, by HarperCollins imprint Dey Street Books. ==Early life== Gordon was born in Rochester, New York, but raised in Los Angeles, California, where her father, Wayne C. Gordon, was a sociology and education professor at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA),〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=University of California )〕 and her mother was "a homemaker with creative tendencies." Gordon attended a progressive elementary school that was attached to UCLA, which she described as: "“It was learn by doing. So we were always making African spears and going down to the river and making mud huts, or skinning a cowhide and drying it and throwing it off the cliff at Dana Point.”〔 After high school, Gordon attended the Otis Art Institute of Los Angeles County and was briefly a student at York University in Toronto, Canada, where she played in her first band. She briefly worked for Larry Gagosian during her study as a side-job.〔(Kim Gordon works with Larry Gagosian ), ''Huffington Post'', September 3, 2013.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kim Gordon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
