In just over two weeks time The Sonics arrive in the UK to embark on a 7 date tour. The legendary band put on an intense live show that is well worth anyone's time. The tour follows the release of their new album ‘This Is The Sonics’ their first since 1966 which was released in March.
Recorded in “earth-shaking mono” by noted producer Jim Diamond of Ghetto Recorders at Soundhouse Studios in Seattle, ‘This Is The Sonics reunited original members Jerry Roslie on keyboards and vocals, Larry Parypa on guitar and vocals and Rob Lind on sax, harmonica and vocals. They are backed by a powerhouse rhythm section, bassist Freddie Dennis (the Kingsmen, the Liverpool Five) and drummer Dusty Watson (Dick Dale, Agent Orange).
