Ichi-Bons salute The Sonics & Mel Dorsey on new Ugly Pop seven-inch

Check out The Ichi-Bons' performances of "The Witch" and "Little Lil" along with the original versions below.  

Here's the scoop from Ugly Pop HQ...
Ugly Pop is very pleased to announce our second single from the finest group playing in Toronto today, the mighty Ichi-Bons! Tearing it up on two potent slabs of their patented Desperate Rock'n'Roll, Ichi-Bons are joined here by sax savage Spencer Evoy for maximum blaze. Topside's a delicious, delirious take on an obscure Mel Dorsey rocker from '59, while anybody with an ear for this music will recognize the flip's all-time Sonics scorcher. This is a one-time only pressing of 400. (UGLY POP UP085). 

You can get it directly from the Ichi-Bons at their show with The Deltas at Toronto's Legendary Horseshoe Tavern on Friday (May 22) or you can mail order a copy via Big Cartel right here. While you're there, grab a copy of Ichi-Bons guitarist Mamoru Banzai's new "Strollin' At Dawn" 3-song solo instrumental EP – which should appeal to fans of Link Wray – also on Ugly Pop available here
 




Get tickets for The Ichi-Bons' double-bill with The Deltas at the Horseshoe Friday (May 22) right here.
