History

The Hydromatics was formed Nick Royale from The Hellacopters and Tony Slug from Amsterdam punkband Nitwitz planned to recorded a series of Sonic's Rendezvous Band coversongs, but the project was long on hold due to the hectic touring schedules of The Hellacopters. However Tony Slug was able to get a hold of Sonic's Rendezvous Band founder Scott Morgan and during the Hellacopters second visit to Detroit Morgan happely accepted the offer to record with Tony and Nick. In 1999 Scott and Nick flew to Amsterdam and met up with Tony and his bandmate Theo Brouwer and The Hydromatics were born.

The band rehearsed for six days, played three shows in Amsterdam and wrote some new material for the bands debut album "Parts Unknown". After a sort tour of six weeks through Europe which resulted in the sixtrack live-CD "Fluid Drive", Nick decided to leave the band due to his commitments to The Hellacopeters and was replaced by Andy Frost. In 2001 the bnad released their second album "Powerglide", containing 7 Sonic's Rendezvous Band covers and seven new tracks. Later bassist Theo left and moved to Spain and Laurent Ciron was called in as his replacement. The Hydromatics is still active and a third studio album is due later this year.
