Tickets are now available for The Sonics at The Garage!
“Unfortunately due to medical advice and a wider discussion amongst members of the group, we are unable to tour Europe through October and November this year. This decision has not been taken lightly & we have explored a number of options to still make this work.
We are currently considering all future options that will be open to us in terms of touring in the future.
Thank you for your patience & sticking with us, this decision isn’t something we take lightly
The Sonics”
This event is a part of The Garage’s 30th Birthday celebrations!
The Sonics were the first and still is the best punk band of all times! Formed in 1960 and predated them all by four years with a rock ‘n’ roll sound rooted in three chords and songs about evil women, drugs and screaming. An explosive in sound and attitude with fuzzed- out guitars, soulful screams and hard-hitting jungle rhythms. Their debut album “Here Are The Sonics” marked the first time music that fit the punk rock archetype was pressed to vinyl. Bruce Springsteen, Nirvana, The White Stripes and many others have cited The Sonics as a huge influence on their sound.
Songs like “The Witch,” “Psycho,” and “Strychnine” have become rites of passage for many a modern-day garage punk band. They have been covered by The Cramps, The Flaming Lips, Mudhoney and The Fall. The Sonics’ current touring line up consists of Rob Lind, Dusty Watson and Evan Foster plus new members Joe Doria and Tom Jorgenson. Original founding members Gerry Roslie and Larry Parypa had to stop touring due to health issues. But the new line-up is wild and loud as you like it!
