More famous after Fred "Sonic" Smith's death than when they were when he was alive, Sonic's Rendezvous Band has attained legendary status in the pantheon of Michigan rock. They existed from 1975-80 and during that time issued just one 45, the monumental City Slang, original copies of which now change hands for hundreds of dollars. They barely played outside their home state, yet their impact is still felt today, in bands from Stockholm to Seattle to Sydney, and all points in between.
