It hasn't been 100 percent Sonics mania this week. I also took a few minutes to interview Indigenous singer-guitarist Mato Nanji this week. Mostly, we talked about touring with the Experience Hendrix show, which will also bring Mitch Mitchell and Billy Cox from the Jimi Hendrix Experience and Band of Gypsys, Doyle Bramhall II, Eric Gales, Buddy Guy, The Doors’ Robby Krieger, Jonny Lang, Chris Layton, Pearl Jam’s Mike McCready, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Hubert Sumlin and Seattle prog-metal band, Queensryche to the Paramount Theatre on Nov. 6. How’s that for a guitar clinic?

But Mato and I also talked about the new Indigenous album, “Broken Lands,” and his split with Pte, Wanbdi and Horse -- brother, sister and cousin -- following 2006's "Chasing the Sun" disc.
