1. The Gonks is an indie rock band made up of Sami of The She’s and Sonny & Ava of Sonny & The Sunsets. The She’s have been making music together since they were young teens. Their forthcoming 2017 release, which they self-produced with counsel from tUnE-yArDs’ Merrill Garbus, is called “all-female rock and roll quartet”, a reductive description they often hear. By reclaiming it as the title of their sophomore album, the San Francisco-based band turns the designation into a source of strength.
