As you know by now, if you're a reader of this blog, the Sonics are back!
No, not the basketball team. Who cares about those guys? They're movin' to Oklahoma, anyway. I'm talking about Tacoma's garage rock legends, the ones that have been on ice for the better part of four decades.
They're playing a couple of reunion shows and recording a DVD this weekend in New York City. And after I'd heard so much about how reclusive they were, I was stoked that I was able to get ahold of not only guitarist Larry Parypa, but also lead howler and keyboard player Jerry Roslie, the most elusive Sonic of all. (He spells his name with a "J," by the way, instead of the usual "Gerry" spelling you see, his wife informed me.)
Click on the links below and check out some of what the guys had to say. Then check out tomorrow's News Tribune for more coverage.
"We all kind of missed it ..." (Roslie)
"Jerry's never heard a monitor before ..." (Parypa)
"Picture the audience naked ..." (Roslie) (I think he meant four years, by the way.)
"They don't speak English, do they? ..." (Roslie)
"Nobody was doin' a lot of that stuff ..." (Parypa)
"I'm squeezin' out polkas right and left ..." (Roslie)
