Director Jordan Albertsen will be in attendance!
BOOM! A FILM ABOUT THE SONICS tells the story of the most important band you've never heard of: The Sonics. After exploding into the music scene in the 1960s, they threatened to fade away, but their impact is still felt through the industry. A captivating and inspiring documentary, the film tells the authentic story of the grandfathers of punk. 50 years since The Sonics exploded into the rock music scene, their shockwaves are still being felt. They are the most important band you've never heard of, with legends from The White Stripes to Bruce Springsteen to Nirvana citing them as a major inspiration. Director Jordan Albertsen tracks the band from their rising Northwest small-town success in the 1960s, blasting out pieces like The Witch and Louie, Louie, to the group's eventual slow dissolve, and their later underground reemergence in the UK. Interviews with the five original members provide an authentic and detailed account of their history, while also allowing the film to function as an inspirational story of delayed recognition, as they realize their music did not fade away.
