It's The Reunion We Were Told Would Never, Ever, EVER Happen.
Since they broke up decades ago, they’ve turned down many offers and serious gobs of money to perform again.
Regularly lauded as one of the most influential rock and roll bands in history, its members seemed content to just sit back and watch their legend grow... Which it has, to genuinely mythological proportions.
But just last week, fans the world over lathered in sheer ecstasy when news of the impossible was confirmed... There would finally be a one-off reunion.
Uh, what's that you say...? Led Zeppelin?
Well, as nice as it is to hear that those boys are back in the sandbox, we’re talking about something far more monumental…
The Sonics were one of, if not the great architects of the raw rock and roll that went on to be known variously as Garage, Punk and Grunge. In their heyday of 1964-66, The Sonics were cranking out some of the fiercest gutbuckets of sound ever waxed, with a power that holds up remarkably well to this day.
Just think about what was on the radio then…. Lovable mop-tops, harmonizing surfer boys, cuddly girl groups… Hell, think about what's on the radio today... and know why the world needs The Sonics reunion... Now more than ever!
