Sonics' Rendevouz - "Sweet Nothing"

The only records you'll find by Sonics' Rendevouz are the one single ("City Slang") they recorded and a handful of bootleg live recordings. Add this live record to your record shopping list. It's a pristine recording of their show at the Second Chance in Ann Arbor, Michigan on April 4, 1978. The band features MC5   guitarist Fred "Sonic" Smith on guitar and vocals, Stooges drummer Scott Asheton and two other dudes on bass and guitar. "Sweet Nothing" (the song) is seven minutes and thirty seconds of pure rock bliss. It'll set your heart on fire plus it seems like it's never gonna end and when it does you're gonna wanna play it again. Yes, it's that fucking good. Don't be afraid to the hit repeat on this one kids. And it sounds just like you want it to... The Stooges meets MC5. You really can't beat this shit unless we're talking Funhouse but then again what beats that... NOTHING!

fucking what a song. Still think fun house isnt as good as raw power,

[qwerty]

No relation to VU's Sweet Nothin' eh?

[Tim]

No relation at all!

And if you don't like funhouse more than raw power, then you've never actually had sex, you just think you have.

Mack Aborn reissued "City Slang" as a second full-length a few years ago. Definitely worth picking up.

sooo, where can I buy "sweet nothing" (the full CD)? I found a web site that seemed to have sold it at one point, but their shop is not in working order. and amazon doesn't have it. any leads? suffice to say, the track you posted is awesome and i feel weird not having known it existed until now. thanks!

Yeah, where can you buy it? I've been burning up my stereo with this song since you posted it. Fucking amazing stuff.
