Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

Sonic Boom

In the beginning, God made rock and roll. And he saw what he had made and thought, Say, God. That’s some pretty crazy shit. Sadly, the years that followed saw an inevitable watering down of the genre, as countless bands mined its ragged sounds and stripped it of its rebel roots. Then, one night in a manger, er, loft in Brooklyn, a rock-and-roll savior was born with the promise to deliver the world from darkness, or at least crappy music: Boom Chick. Wise men (and women) should catch the band’s hard-charging, 1960s-inspired nuclear rock at the Monkey House in Winooski this Saturday with Pooloop and An Unkindness of Ravens.
