artist.totalReleases

The Hydromatics was formed by Nicke Andersson from The Hellacopters, and Tony Slug from Amsterdam Punk band The Nitwitz, for the purpose of recording a series of Sonic's Rendezvous Band cover songs. Slug got a hold of SRB founder Scott Morgan, and he agreed 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 3 shows in Amsterdam and wrote new material for the band's debut album "Parts Unknown." After a six-week tour through Europe, Nick left the band, and was replaced by Andy Frost.
