Hello gang!
It's been a while! We're both sad and happy that our world tour is over we're back in Manchester. The weather is beautiful so one can't really complain. Thanks to everyone that checked us out over in the US, France and Belgium and big up to Alex Bertein and Thomas Jingle for accompanying us over in France. Slam Dunk was a hoot and we were stoked to be on a stage with a top to bottom line-up that slayed. The Skints, Me vs Hero, Random Hand, RX Bandits, Skindred and last but not least CapDpwn (great to see them back!) take a bow! And extra special thanks to Robin from Random Hand for providing the brass. There are some cool reviews of the show on ALTSOUNDS and SOUND REVOLUTION, and Marianne Harris caught this stonking shot of the Boom doing what they do best. Click the photo if you want to check more of her stuff out!
OK then, the great news is that we've got a load of shows over the summer to keep us busy. As well as shows in Manchester and London and everywhere else, we're gonna be visiting Ireland. The dates look like this...
SONIC BOOM SIX (Rebel Alliance)
JULY
16th UK LONDON BORDERLINE w Moral Dilemma, Mike TV, Gecko
17th UK CHELTENHAM 2000 TREES FESTIVAL
18th UK READING SUB 89
19th UK NEWCASTLE TRILLIANS
21st UK ABERDEEN TUNNELS
23rd UK BELFAST BLACK BOX
24th IR DUBLIN THE PINT
28th UK WREXHAM CENTRAL STATION w Dirty Revolution
29th UK SWANSEA GARAGE w Dirty Revolution
30th UK BLAENAU FFESTINIOG CELL
31st UK NEWPORT MEZE LOUNGE
AUGUST
1st UK MANCHESTER MOHO LIVE
6th UK BLACKPOOL WINTER GARDENS @ Rebellion
10th UK LEEDS COCKPIT
12th UK PETERBOROUGH CLUB REVOLUTION w Big D & The Kids Table, Mouthwash, The JB Conspiracy
13th UK STRATFORD COX’S YARD
14th UK POOLE CHORDS
15th UK NOTTINGHAM MAZE
The first date is a wonderful way to kick the tour off over in London with a stellar supporting cast of Bristol singer-songwriter extraordinaire GECKO, Screeching Weasel and Tiny Time tribute act MIKE TV and London street-punk done properly in the guise of MORAL DILEMMA. Remember, last time the London date sold out in advance so you'd be very much advised to grab that ticket soon as from HERE or forever hold your peace! The Facebook group lives HERE.
Festival-wise we've got 2000 Trees Festival, headlined by Frank Turner, which you can check out HERE as well as the yearly punk extravaganza Rebellion, headlined by the mighty Bad Religion, Gallows and many more. Look it and like it HERE. Yikes!
Over on our YouTube now we've got the second installment of the SB6 US Tour Diary. All those pesky questions such as "What do they make in Oregan?" "What happened to the email I sent to SB6's mail order in May?" and "What does the spot where Laila sit's on in the van smell of?" are answered as well as exclusive footage of Laila learning to drive. It's a show more incredible than anything you'll see on Freeview. Indulge your soul and senses HERE. More coming very soon! There's also a ton of photos and fun over on our Facebook HERE.
Hmmm, what else is there? Well, I don't know if anyone has a PSP mini but we're on a game that's kind of like Guitar Hero apparently. If a computer game doesn't feature Mario, Tony Hawks, Hulk Hogan, Guile or Zelda, I'm not much of an expert but you can see what I'm on about HERE.
Last but not least, if you're not on the Sonic Boom Six mailing join now to receive a previously unreleased track on Mp3. Wow. Last year we did a live session (with a real string section, wooo!) and we covered Boney M's classic 'Rasuputin' and we've decided to bang it over to you guys as a little fixer upper on a sunny day because you're loyal, we love you and you stick by us even when we bugger things up. I hope you enjoy it. I certainly enjoyed doing my impression of Klaus Kinski's timeless version of Nosferatu at the end.
