More and more details are shaping up regarding the upcoming Sonics reunion show at New York's Cave Stomp festival. And the most exciting news I just learned from Redmond-based organizer, Neal Skok, is that the performance will be recorded for a forthcoming live CD and DVD.

“My partner and I are going to produce the CD and the DVD, and will be approaching bigger independent labels,” said Skok, who also runs Epilogue Records.

That’s especially exciting since Skok – an avid rock collector who said he has hours of footage of other Northwest greats, like the Wailers and the Kingsmen – has never come across footage of any Sonics performance. (He thinks a 1966 performance at a Cleveland TV station might exist, but says it has yet to surface.)

And, of course, I had to know if a show was in the works for the Sonics’ hometown, Tacoma.

“If this goes well, certainly there will be other shows,” Skok said. “There’s nothing confirmed.”

Exciting news, my friends. Keep your fingers crossed.
