here are the sonics in frickin London


Dang. dang. dance the merry dang. Tomorrow night off to see the Sonics at the Forum. It shouldn't be happenin, but somehow it is, some crazy darn bugger got them back together after 40 years just fer me!


The sonics are the Lost Ark of garage bands and the reasons guys go huntin around for old garage 45s. This is pure rock n roll compressed down to bazooka sized bullets.


There's a stage in any music luvvas life when they've heard most stuff doing the rounds and judged it. At this point, the music luvva sits at the crossroads and decides where to look for their next fix. Many broaden their horizens. Then there are the others who don't broaden, they're looking for the fix they got at 14, finding the purest form of the music they love. Narrowing the search. Not to the source, but the purest uncut representation of what they luv as luvvas. And this is where the Sonics come in. If you a music luvva, love rock n roll, you can find in the sonics that live buzz fuzz rush which is familiar but sizzling. I dig it.
