3/4 of Sonic's Rendezvous Band. L to R, Fred 'Sonic' Smith, guitar, vocals, (the awesome ) bassist, Gary Rasmussen, Scott 'Rock Action' Ashton, drums. Not pictured, Scott Morgan, guitar, vocals. Second Chance Bar, Ann Arbor, MI. Around 1979.
A highly recommended listen these guys. Terrific energy, Gary's bass lines are solid, delightful, hard-charging Detroit rock.

Thinking about this pic for a few, it may have been in early '79. The extra amps lead me to think this was the Romantics, Sonic's and Ramones gig. It was one of the LOUDEST shows I ever attended. I have promos and a broken pick from Fred Sonic Smith and a cool back story of how I got it.
FURTHER EDIT: That drum riser leaned up against the curtain is the giveaway. This was from the Ramones show, early '79.

"The Beatles were hard men too. Brian Epstein cleaned them up for mass consumption, but they were anything but sissies. They were from Liverpool, which is like Hamburg or Norfolk, Virginia a hard, sea-farin town, all these dockers and sailors around all the time who would beat the piss out of you if you so much as winked at them. Ringo is from the Dingle, which is like the f***ing Bronx.
The Rolling Stones were the mummys boys they were all college students from the outskirts of London. They went to starve in London, but it was by choice, to give themselves some sort of aura of disrespectability. I did like the Stones, but they were never anywhere near the Beatles not for humour, not for originality, not for songs, not for presentation. All they had was Mick Jagger dancing about. Fair enough, the Stones made great records, but they were always s**t on stage, whereas the Beatles were the gear."

Honestly, I wasn't sure who this was, either. There are many people on here who aren't in the same age group or into the same music you are. So labeling pictures with names is always helpful, and sometimes educational.

Truly Confunk,
No need to do this. There are a lot of well known players who are unknown to TBers, despite their lineage. You might think it's sacrilegious not to know them, but if hasn't been in their experience, you can't fault them. Education is the key here. There is no TB rule saying you have to label the photo, but help a bro out. And in Rocco's case (RIP) You'd also be doing your part to continuing his legacy. Thanks buddy for your understanding and thanks for posting his photo.
