    BOOM fans! We need your help!! We are trying to find ANY old images of The Sonics for the film! So if anybody knows anybody who might have some old pictures or film laying around in boxes or storage, PLEASE let us know! Anything involving any of the original members of the band would be HUGE!! Also looking for any old pictures of Tacoma/Seattle from the 50's and 60's. Thanks!!

    My first thought was, "Jeff would be the most appropriate member of the band to talk about The Sonics."
    Then I realized we were talking about the band, not the awesome basketball team that once called Seattle home. That's a story that deserves it own well done documentary as well.

    Can’t wait for this doc. Sonics deserve all the attention they can get.

    Thanks so much to everyone who came out to see BOOM at film festivals this year. I really appreciate the support. It's been an incredible journey so far. The plan is to let the film play at festivals for another year or so and then hopefully it'll be released everywhere shortly after. So, if you'd like to see Boom brought to a festival near you, write them and let them know.
    Also, if you did manage to catch the film please go onto the IMDB and give the film a rating/write a review. Those ratings are extremely helpful. Thanks so much! And keep an eye on this page for updates!

    Big news coming in January... But in the meantime check out this interview with director Jordan Albertsen in the latest issue of Bananas Magazine!!

    Boom/USA

    'Boom' tells the untold story of one of rock 'n' roll's wildest and most influential bands, The Sonics. For the first time ever, all five original members of the band tell the true story of how it all went down, beginning to end. 'Boom' takes a deep dive, exploring how a relatively unknown band from the Pacific Northwest became a worldwide phenomenon 50-years after their heyday, and in doing so, shaped music for decades to come (whether it was apparent at the time or not). Featuring interviews with homegrown heroes and breakthrough artists alike, Pearl Jam, The Sex Pistols, Heart, Mudhoney, and many, many more.

    If it wasn’t for this guy here - Mike McCready, the film would have never happened. After spending years trying to secure financing for the doc I had given up completely. Not just on the movie, but on my career in film. I moved from LA to Montana and started working at a Sushi Restaurant. The film was essentially dead. That was until the day Mike and his family came walking into Dave’s Sushi. I knew Mike was a fan of the band and I had been trying to get in touch with him for years. When I told him what I was trying to do, he said he’d be happy to be involved. Then he pulled out his phone and said “who else do you need”?
    He sat there and texted a bunch of rock stars and completely validated what I was trying to accomplish.
    At that point I decided I’d make the film, financed or not.
    I’ll forever be in debt to Mike’s generosity, and his belief in me.

    The Forge

    The documentary Boom, featuring Pearl Jam‘s Mike McCready and Soundgarden‘s Kim Thayil, will premiere in theaters in September. 

    Boom tells the story of the influential garage band The Sonics, who formed in Tacoma, Washington, in the ’60s, 30 years before the grunge explosion in nearby Seattle.

    “Their influence on me and Soundgarden is profound,” Thayil says of The Sonics in the Boom trailer, which is streaming now on YouTube.

    Others in the film include Heart‘s Nancy Wilson and Mudhoney‘s Mark Arm.

    Boom will screen in Seattle on Sept. 7 and Los Angeles on Sept. 12 before opening in select theaters on Sept. 13. For the full list of screenings, visit SonicsFilm.com.


    ...

    Will have to wait till it gets released on DVD / Blu-ray or streaming services.
