NEW STRYCHNINES 'The New Original Sonic Sound' (CD) 

In June 2000 the Seattle Experience Music Project managed to put together a show which billed many now legendary '60s Northwest garage bands such as the Wailers and the Kingsmen. Still, they couldn't get what is probably the best of them all, THE SONICS, to reunite. So, Scott Mccaughey (Minus 5/Young Fresh Fellows/REM) started to get an all-star Sonics fans´ band together, so that they could perform at the show and represent the original and almighty Sonics. Boooom!! THE NEW STRYCHNINES were born.

And who could dare to play the songs of the wildest and greatest garage-punk band that ever existed? Well, my friend, they had to be real heavy-weights to face such a challenge. And they are !!! The New Strychnines are 75% of MUDHONEY (Mark Arm, Steve Turner, and Dan Peters), with Tom Price (from GAS HUFFER and MONKEYWRENCH), Big Kahuna (from GIRL TROUBLE), Scott McCaughey (from The YOUNG FRESH FELLOWS and The MINUS 5), and Craig Florey. It spells w-o-w... WOW!!!

As often happens the guys had a lot of fun playing together and kept practicing, playing more and more shows, sometimes billed as the Original Sonic Sound. But that´s not all folks, THE NEW STRYCHINES, as if they were on a "mission of God", went into the studio with McCaughey and KURT BLOCH (producer of Nashville Pussy, Supersuckers, Devil Dogs, Fastbacks...) and recorded a whole record of Sonics covers, which you can get now and sell by thousands to both Sonics and Mudhoney fans!
