    Fans of Real Rock Action rejoice: New York punk survivor Sonny Vincent is continuing his return to stages with a triple whammy of shows in Germany in February.

    After a one-off gig in Europe and an art show in Los Angeles last month, the indefatigable Vincent will play Stuttgart (February 20), Cologne (February 21) and Hildesheim (February 22). The shows will be filmed by Danny Garcia ("Nightclubbing: The Birth of Punk Rock in NYC", "Sad Vacation: The Last Days of Sid and Nancy", "Looking for Johnny", "Stiv") for a full-length documentary.

    Sonny Vincent is a veteran of the Max's and CBGB scenes whose band Testors were a cult item in the NYC underground in the late '70s.  His long and storied career has included collaborations with Scott and Ron Asheton, Wayne Kramer, Bob Stinson, Cheetah Chrome, Mo Tucker, Spencer P Jones, Sterling Morrison and Captain Sensible.
