Description
This show brings San Jose's most promising indie-psych outfit, The Gentle Cycle, into direct contact with pioneering garage-rockers The Sonics for a night of warmly overdriven amps, swirling delay and waves of wah-wah pedal. Led by Derek See-- formerly of Careless Hearts and The Bang Girl Group Revue-- The Gentle Cycle might not exist if it weren't for the music of The Sonics and their contemporaries. Known for their buzzing, lo-fi sound and spooky chord progressions, The Sonics earned fans by playing punched-up early rock & roll hits by the likes of Little Richard and Richard Berry. Their sound helped birth punk and blazed a trail for bands like Thee Oh Sees and, of course, The Gentle Cycle.
