Sonic's Rendezvous Band - City Slang [HD]

Sonic's Rendezvous Band - City Slang
Written by Fred Smith
Taken from: "Too Much Crank" | The Best Stuff You Have And Haven't Heard
Sonic's Rendezvous Band came from the ashes of four Michigan rock bands:
Fred "Sonic" Smith, formerly of the MC5 - guitar, vocals
Scott Morgan, formerly of The Rationals, a soul-influenced Detroit band of the 1960s - guitar, vocals
Gary Rasmussen, formerly of The Up - bass
Scott Asheton, formerly of The Stooges - drums
They remained virtually unknown, but their one and only single retained high interest among fans of Detroit rock. The band had had only enough money to mix one song, "City Slang", so it was pressed on both sides of the single.
One side was labeled mono and one side stereo although both sides were identical. A lo-fi bootleg LP composed of various radio appearances called Strikes Like Lightning was traded in the 1980s.

Yes it is. No doubt. I was at many Rendezvous shows and Gang War shows in and around Detroit. This was taken downstairs at Second Chance in Ann Arbor.
