Those that followed include Danny Lee Blackwell’s Night Beats, a group with its own underground origins as well as a direct, fuzz and feedback-coated link between the impact of the Sonics and their own potent sound. It’s this connection that led Night Beats to record \u003ci\u003eBoom\u003c\/i\u003e in its entirety, a proper homage to their musical forbearers. Blackwell, along with an arsenal of ace musicians manage to maintain the spirit of original recordings like \u003ci\u003eCinderella, Don't You Just Know It\u003c\/i\u003e and a particularly unhinged version of \u003ci\u003eLouie Louie\u003c\/i\u003e, while injecting their own brand of earth-quakin’ soul-shakin, maximum R\u0026amp;B. Blackwell takes the lead on vocals and guitar, interpreting Gerry Rosalie’s mean scream with ease. Mike Brandon holds things down on drums as his partner in crime, bass genius Nate Ryan, while Julien O’neill grooves things up on keys and Joe Santa Maria wails on the horns. Finishing touches come from Marlon Rabenreither on acoustic guitar, plus Cole Alexander and Dan Gerbang on backing vocals—all working together to keep the Sonics' legacy intact, even as they tear the whole place down.

Ultimately, it’s the culmination of years of Blackwell distilling and translating the sounds around him into his own concoction, an invitation to enter the kingdom and dwell in the garden while the shadow of doubt looms nearby, a subconscious journey into the delights and pitfalls of unknown territories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide B features the Rah John version of “Behind the Green Door,” an interpretation from an enigmatic artist Blackwell discovered on the island of Koh Khram Yai, off the coast of Pattaya in the Gulf of Thailand.
