Sonic's Rendezvous Band
Live Masonic Auditorium, Detroit 1978
"Sounds like a punk Cream, but with a first-rate singer. A must have for Detroit diehards." - Mojo. The demand from the
fans has been met, here is the CD version of this great live show, remastered from a Maxwell C-90, and including liner
notes and photos by Creem photographer Robert Matheu. On a cold January night, the SONIC'S RENDEZVOUS BAND took the
stage opening for
the RAMONES in the 3,000 plus seat auditorium. They were personally asked to be on the bill by the RAMONES, who had
befriended the band on the many occasions they played together at the Second Chance in Ann Arbor. But this night the SRB
performed with an urgency previously unheard. Songs include an amazing version of Fred Smith's "Sweet Nothin'", as well
as
"Electrophonic Tonic" "Asteroid B-612" "Gone With The Dogs" "Love And Learn" "Song L" and the classic "City Slang."
Spawned from the remnants of the MC5, STOOGES, RATIONALS and the UP, Fred "Sonic" Smith (MC5) joined forces with Scott
Asheton (Stooges), Scott Morgan (Rationals) and Gary Rasmussen (The Up), to make legendary music that for the most part
remained unheard by fans around the world. Until now. A release produced for ROCK-A-RAMA RECORDS by Robert Matheu,
nominated for best reissue at the 2008 Detroit Music Awards.
