Variously known as the Scott Morgan Band and Scots Pirates, the band on these releases included core members Morgan, on guitar and vocals, bass-player Gary Rasmussen and drummer Scott “Rock Action” Asheton.
Both were bandmates in Sonic’s Rendezvous Band. Asheton was in the Stooges and Rasmussen was a member of Grande Ballroom house band The Up.
The double CD tracks Morgan and band’s recorded output from 1988-96. Morgan then teamed with Wayne Kramer (MC5) and Deniz Tek to form Dodge Main, who released a studio record and played live dates.
Easy Action has its sights set on releasing Morgan’s back catalogue with the Hydromatics, the high-octane trans-Atlantic combo who re-visited the music of Sonic's Rendezvous Band and whose ranks originally included Nicke Royale from Sweden’s Hellacopters.
Easy Action will be taking pre-orders for "Revolutionary Action" here..
