Sonic's Rendezvous Band was started by Fred Smith of the MC5 back in 1975, featuring members of The Stooges, Up, and The Rationals. They only had enough money to press a 7" during their time, which resulted in numerous live recordings. In '99, when Alive/Total Energy Records released a studio recording of the then-unheard song "Electrophonic Tonic", the song that was to have been the B-side of "City Slang"- A LOT of interest was sparked; Motivating Mack Aborn Rhythmic Arts to release this album. This CD was released in 2000 and contains both the 79' & '99 recorded versions of City Slang, as well as eleven other tracks of epic live material. I'll be posting the "Sweet Nothing" single (which contains a 9:42 live version of City Slang) they released in a couple days, stay tuned..
