   THE SONICS's Blurbs
About me:
------------------------------------------------------> A rock & roll band from Tacoma, WA, the Sonics' original members were Gerry Roslie (lead singer and piano/organ), Andy Parypa (guitar), Larry Parypa (bass), Bob Bennett (drums), and Rob Lind (saxophone). Forming in the wake of the early-'60s success of local favorites the Kingsmen and the Wailers (whose Etiquette label they recorded for), the Sonics combined the classic Northwest-area teen-band raunch with early English band grit (particularly influenced by the Kinks), relentless rhythmic drive, and unabashed '50s-style blues-shouting for a combination that still makes their brand of rock & roll perhaps the raunchiest ever captured on wax. Lead singer Gerry Roslie was no less than a white Little Richard, whose harrowing soul-screams were startling even to the Northwest teen audience, who liked their music powerful and driving with little regard to commercial subtleties. With hit after hit on the local charts (and influencing every local band that ever took the stage), the band inexplicably was never able to break out nationally, leaving their sound largely undiluted for mass consumption. Breaking up in the late '60s (after one ill-fated album attempt to water down their style for national attention), the Sonics continue today to be revered by '60s collectors the world over for their unique brand of rock & roll raunch.

Shindig! Vol2 No.

THE WEST COAST POP ART EXPERIMENTAL BAND's story should really be made into a film. Its central theme is akin to a fairytale in reverse – well almost. Bob Markley (the older, wiser huckster who wanted to be in a rock'n'roll group to impress the young girls so badly that he bought himself into one) was most certainly a little like the wicked queen in Snow White. For him rock'n'roll was the elixir of youth, and he would get it at all costs.


The one-minute-folkpop-the-next-shit-your-pants-unnerving quality-of-the music stood out from the standard garage and psych fare of the time. This was a band with a mystique to equal The 13th Floor Elevators.


Johnny Black’s highly detailed San Francisco ’65-67 timeline closes with “The Death Of The Hippie” event, a superb interview with Mad River and Patrick The Lama’s accompanying pieces on the Human Be-In and an Esoteric Trips San Francisco rare LP guide. Many thanks to Johnny for getting this rolling – we have received so many letters praising our excellent SF coverage.

Hi Fuzz Freaks!

After 28 years of Fuzz and Fury, The Fuzztones will embark on their final European tour this Spring. The band is responsible for initiating the Garage Revival of the 80's which continues to this day, having influenced the Hives, the Horrors, Baby Woodrose and many more. Their newest album, "Horny As Hell" (a tour document from their successful 2007 tour) will be released this Spring. Joining founding member and frontman Rudi Action Protrudi on their upcoming tour will be the luscious Lana Loveland on Vox organ and Lenny Svilar on lead guitar (both formerly of the Bonniwell Music Machine and both with The Fuzztones since 2005 and 2006 consecutively), along with Fez Wrecker on primitive bass throb, and guitarist Vince Dante ( a veteran from their 2005 tour and theramin master). Svilar and Dante's twin guitar assault is certain to kick the set into overdrive. And as a special treat for long-time fans, the return of powerhouse drummer "Mad" Mike Czekaj. Czekaj, a charismatic frontman behind the drums, was with The Fuzztones from 1986 to 1992, appearing on several of the band's most notable albums.
Don't miss your last chance to catch one of the only true Rock & Roll bands left on this planet!
