  • Out Of Time LPOut of Time – Sonic’s Rendezvous Band (Easy Action)

    Some bands defy objective assessment and Sonic’s Rendezvous Band is one of them. So let’s not even try to pretend.

    How can you be objective about a band that issued just one single in its lifetime when it happens to be “City Slang”, inarguably the greatest rock and roll seven-inch of all time? Can you really question the worth of a band whose lineage is former MC5, Rationals, Stooges and The Up members?

    Yes, you could. But that’s just you.

    Sonic’s Rendezvous Band bassist Gary Rasmussen has passed away after a short illness. He was aged 72.

    A resident of Howell in Michigan, Rasmussen played bass with some of the region’s most influential bands in the late 1960s and ‘70s. He was a member of Scots Pirates, The Rendezvous Band, The Scott Morgan Group, The Up and more recently, Broken Arrow Blues Band. He also appeared on Patti Smith’s “Dream of Life” album.

    After suffering a sore throat and back pain on Tuesday, Gary was admitted to hospital. He was transferred to University of Michigan Hospital where he was put into an induced coma after doctors diagnosed meningitis. He passed on Friday, surrounded by family and friends including longtime partner Marla Swartz.
