Oh No

Pretty girls, 
They never notice ugly boys like me 
Even if I wear my heart on sleeves 
They always seem to put me down 

Pretty girls 
They always seem to bite so hard 
Even when I say don’t play 
Insists that I will stay till dark 

Its okay 
I don’t much care 
For the kempt hair 
That’s just all looks 

And if you say 
That you do care 
What people stare 
Then that’s how you look 

Pretty girls 
They always want to be alone 
But everyone time their by themselves 
They always tell me help yourself 

Pretty girls 
They never deal with sadness well 
And never think about their joys 
That’s why they need ugly boys 

Its okay 
I don’t much care 
For the kempt hair 
That’s just all looks 

And if you say 
That you do care 
What people stare 
Then that’s how you look 

Hey there baby I just wanted to let you know that 
Its pretty hard being so damn pretty 
And whenever you feel sad and blue 
Just know that I am the one watching you while I sleep 
The one that feels your tears drip down to your pillow 
And hears all your dream nightmares and inhibitions 
You pretty pretty girl

Working at the Boys & Girls Club his whole Sophomore year Summer to purchase his first set of turntables at age 15, Brandon learned turntablism and mixing using true vinyl technique and manipulation rarely used by disc jockeys nowadays.  Still attending Katella High School in Anaheim with tunes blaring from his bedroom and nightclubs throughout Orange County, he sparked a successful sales and marketing career working with auto dealerships and assisting in the grass roots promotions of one of Orange County’s most recognized graphic design and printing companies, Smart Levels Media.  After years of hard work, and a few years dabbling in the mortgage industry, he was later promoted to VP of Development and single-handedly led business development for the company over the past 8 years.  Growing up as a cyclist, Brandon turned to sport bike motorcycling as an young man.  Brandon started racing mountain bikes 2 years ago and currently races competitively with Team Velosport.  Recently named VP of Client Relations, he is currently the Chairman of the Center 39 Young Professionals Committee at Center Club Costa Mesa, Directing Staff for Anaheim Family YMCA’s Summer Camping Program, Member of Irvine Rotary Club, Ambassador of both Irvine Chamber of Commerce and The 12 Movement.  Brandon has a life-long passion for youth development and leadership through confidence building and fitness and can’t wait to see you in his class!!

Beginning in 1963, The Sonics created an uncompromising, overdriven brand of rock 'n' roll whose musical and emotional intensity had no precedent at the time, and has yet to be bested in the years since.  Driven by Gerry Roslie's fearsome, bloodcurdling howl, Larry Parypa's pummeling, distortion-heavy guitar work and Rob Lind's greasy, squalling sax, the Tacoma, Washington-bred combo delivered a brutal, propulsive sound and a swaggering, primal attitude to match.  By taking rock 'n' roll to the edge, the Sonics helped to lay the groundwork for punk, garage and heavy metal, decades before those genres existed.  

The Sonics became regional stars throughout the Pacific Northwest, where their over-the-top performances made them a consistently in-demand live act.  But their assaultive approach proved a bit too extreme for national mainstream exposure at the time.  The original Sonics splintered in 1967, but the band's influence and mystique continued to grow steadily in the ensuing decades, as their vintage work was rediscovered by succeeding generations of fans and musicians.  Meanwhile, such Sonics standards as "Psycho," "The Witch," "Strychnine" and "Have Love, Will Travel" continued to turn up in film soundtracks, TV commercials and the set lists of the countless Sonics-loving bands who emulated—but never duplicated—the band's sound.

As The Sonics' posthumous profile grew, the band members stubbornly resisted a steady stream of lucrative offers to perform reunion shows.  Instead, they maintained that the Sonics would only reform when they felt that they could equal their original onstage energy level, and when they could record new material that would equal the intensity of the old stuff.  

The Sonics finally ended their four-decade hiatus in November 2007, with a pair of rapturously received shows in New York.  Although the band had intended those shows to be a one-time-only event, word of the performances quickly circulated amongst Sonics fans, resulting in performance offers from around the world, and turning the temporary reunion into a permanent one.  Since then, The Sonics have performed for rabid crowds across the United States as well as England, Spain, Belgium, Sweden and Norway.  They headlined a sold-out concert at Seattle's Paramount Theatre, where they had performed their last show back in the day, and at the SXSW music-industry conference in Austin, Texas, and the NXNE festival in Toronto.  

Having reconquered the live stage and built a new, multi-generational fan base, the reactivated Sonics have set their sights back on the recording medium, enlisting noted producer Jim Diamond (White Stripes, Dirtbombs) to record THIS IS THE SONICS —the Sonics' first album of new material in nearly half a century—at Diamond's Detroit studio Ghetto Recorders.  

The 12-song set finds The Sonics channeling their original savage, primal essence on such new originals as "Chaos," "Sugaree," "Bad Betty" and "I Got Your Number," while continuing their tradition of audacious cover material with raucous reworkings of Ray Charles' "I Don't Need No Doctor," Bo Diddley's "You Can't Judge A Book by the Cover," the Kinks' "The Hard Way," Hank Ballard's "Look At Little Sister" and the rousing Motown nugget "Leaving Here."

THIS IS THE SONICS shows the Sonics' original sound and swagger to be fully intact, and ready for 2015.
