SONNY VINCENT (USA)
New York Punk Legende Sonny Vincent ist bereits seit Mitte der 1970er aktiv und gehört zu den Urgesteinen der New Yorker Punkrockszene. 1976 gründete er THE TESTORS, später die Band Sonny Vincent & the Extreme, The Model Prisoners mit Bob Stinson von den Replacements, Shotgun Rationale mit Cheetah Chrome von den Dead Boys, er spielte mit Moe Tucker von Velvet Underground, mit Wayne Kramer, Scott Asheton, Captain Sensible, Cheetah Chrome, Walter Lure, Brian James, Thurston Moore, Richard Lloyd, Lou Reed, John Cale, Sterling Morrison, Jad Fair, John Sluggett, Greg Ginn, John Reis, Lance of Athens GA und Kim Shattuk von den Muffs.
Dieser Typ hat alles gesehen und bis heute schafft er es, richtig coole Musik zu schreiben und immer noch die besten Musiker der Welt um sich zu scharen.
Sonny hat bereits zwei neue Alben aufgenommen, zu der er sich die Sahneschnitten der Punkrockheroen an Bord geholt hat.
Im November wurde das Album „Spiteful“ auf Still Unbeatable Records veröffentlicht, mit Rat Scabies – The Damned – Drums, Glen Matlock – Sex Pistols – Bass und Steve Mackay – Stooges – Sax
Mr Sonny Vincent, das ist wilder PunknRoll der alten Schule, der einen aus den Socken haut. Klassischer unzerstörbarer 1977er Punkrock mit einem coolen Swing.
