This is the sort of album that will be referenced in production studios for years to come.
Will Wagner and the Smithies appeared every part bonafide rockstars on Friday night, with plenty of good songs and good vibes.
It does not get much cooler than this. Cool Perth Nights present The Sonics live at the Rosemount Hotel. Pencil it in and tell your dad.
They played a killer set lasting almost two hours, plucking mainly from sophomore LP The 59’ Sound and Handwritten, as well as throwing a couple covers in for good measure, with a great rendition of Bon Iver’s ‘Blood Bank’ sandwiched in the middle of ‘Angry Johnny and the Radio’ as well as covering The Misfits’ ‘Astro Zombies’ at the drunken request of a Welshman in the crowd.
Considering the band only formed in 2012 they sound remarkably in sync with one another, forming a very full and accomplished sound. I had to keep reminding myself throughout listening to the album that it is in fact their debut record.
