cinghiale Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Dodge Main has a great lineup. Deniz Tek in the Sonic role. From his website In the early '90s Patrick Boissel from Alive Records began a crusade to resurrect the Detroit Sound. He had the idea of forming a "Detroit Super Group" of surviving players who were still active in music. Deniz and Wayne Kramer were asked to lead the effort, and both agreed. Less than a week after touring Europe with The Deniz Tek Group, Deniz flew to LA to record. Scott Morgan (the Rationals and Sonics Rendezvous Band) had been recruited to sing, with Wayne's touring band Paul Ill on bass and Brock Avery on drums and percussion. Recording was done at a small studio in West Hollywood called the Music Box. Some songs were written on the spot, others in Deniz' motel room. MC5, Birdman, and Sonics Rendezvous standards were included. The entire album was done in less than 5 days. "Dodge Main" (1996), named after the now defunct automobile assembly plant in central Detroit, was released by Alive to rave reviews and a 4 star treatment in Rolling Stone. Dodge Main has gotten together for occasional live shows since then to rowdy and volatile midwestern crowds, Currently there is an unreleased live concert tape waiting in the wings featuring the band at peak power in Cleveland with bassist Gary Rasmussen and drummer Scott Asheton, with a guest appearance by Jimmy Zero of the Dead Boys.

cinghiale Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I think their version of City Slang is actually better than Fred’s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
