I have been waiting to catch these guys !   Tonight there are on the support bill for REEL BIG FISH.

Sonic Boom Six are a Ska-punk outfit from Manchester,  and they are pretty cool.

“Grand statement time: Sonic Boom Six are, simply, the most exciting live punk band in the country. They cater for chin-stroking social commentators, wide-eyed rave kids and big-shorted punkers all in the space of a single gig and will – yup, will – own 2009″
- Scene 2009: Punk&Metal, NME (Jan 10, 2009)

“It’s taken a while but Sonic Boom Six are rocketing out of the underground – a hefty shot of ska-punk, hip-hop, reggae and even jungle in the mix, not to mention big, sinuous rock dynamics and hooks.”
- Tick, Tick, Boom!, Kerrang! (May 30, 2009)

“It might have taken until their third album for SB6 to break the UK underground’s glass-ceiling, but their massive grassroots following practically guarantees success for City of Thieves. The fact it’s a fantastic stew of punk, ska and hip-hop helps too; finally, their time has come.”
- The Panel, Music Week (May 02, 2009)

“This isn’t good, it’s way beyond that and deep into the realms of something special. A hundred word analysis cannot do this album justice, so let’s just say it’s one fucking excellent album and get on with our lives? Agreed? Agreed.”
- City of Thieves Review, Rock Sound (Jun 01, 2009)

“Sonic Boom Six have always been one of the most diverse and inventive bands to get lumped into the British punk scene. It’s smart, joyous music that has plenty to say and does so eloquently.”
- City of Thieves Review, Big Cheese! (May 30, 2009)

The last band I had shot live was a good few weeks ago, since then LABB MAGAZINE has been my 100% focus, but tonight was so much fun. A couple of ciders, a couple of hello’s to old friends and in the pit and a punk  rock show. The only downside of the night was the muppet in the crowd who chucked his drink all over me whilst I was working.  But hay..    Thats Rock and Roll right.  Thank you to the Tour Manager for sorting me out very last moment.

The Line up was Sonic Boom Six, Big D and the Kids Table and Reel Big Fish.  Some how I did not expect sure a big crowd, but lots of cool people turned out in the cold..  and..  I was not the only fool in shorts, so that was nice.

Enjoy the photos,  the full gallery can be viewed here.
