The Sonics, live at The Kentish Forum, London, March 21st 2008
The first time I heard The Sonics was a few years ago now, I got a compilation CD from Mojo magazine full of raw garage rock, the original kind, not The White Stripes and The Strokes variety. One of the most stand-out tracks was called Psycho, a three-chord (plus key change) raucous number about a woman who's rather a tease, with what is one of my favourite rock screams ever at the end of each verse. So I was rather glad to find this little bootleg recently, just a shame it's not from when they were doing it years back. Oh yes, if you're in the UK you'll more than likely have heard Have Love Will Travel on an advert at some point, though not The Sonics version. Enjoy!

Used to dance to the Sonics when I was in high school. Also when they played at Parker's Ballroom. My neighbor kid, she loves them. Never heard of them until I turned her on to them. She says that the kids at her high school are really blown away by the sound. Shows you that good rock and roll never dies.
The best scream in rock and roll (including little Richard) bar none.
KOOL...THANK YOU
