The NuSonics formed, like many other bands, from a nucleus of school acquaintances. They were gathered together by lead guitarist John Hopkirk. Under the management of “Dood” Williams, early members were Kevin Wright (drums), Peter Fromont (rhythm guitar), Mike Fennemore (bass), and very briefly, John Hooker (vocals).
