The SUNNDECK – so named in tribute to Sunn Amplifiers, the loud-making amp of choice of The Who and the Pacific Northwest's very own Kingsmen – is open to those who care to smoke and, in the spring and summer, an outdoor deck to relax and drink/eat without all the noise and bus exhaust that turns so many sidewalk seated patrons into SOYLENT GREEN™. And it has an unmatched view of our parking lot.
Here's a bit of Wikipedia™ history on Sunn Amplifiers...
In early 1963, THE KINGSMEN, a band based in the U.S. state of Oregon, became famous for the song "Louie, Louie". The song made The Kingsmen household names as it progressed up the charts.
With a hit single under their belts, The Kingsmen embarked on a fifty-state national tour. Because the band was used to playing small hops and school dances, many of the members found themselves ill-equipped with the amplifiers that they were currently using; Bassist Norm Sundholm discovered that his bass amp was not nearly powerful enough to play larger concert halls. Sundholm enlisted the help of his brother Conrad to help solve his problem. By 1964, the Sundholm brothers had designed the world's first high-powered concert bass amplifier. By 1965, the demand for Sundholm's amplifiers had increased to the point where the family garage could no longer be used as the manufacturing facility. Thus, the Sunn Musical Equipment Company was born.
Sunn was ultimately acquired by Fender, who discontinued production in 2002.
Sunn was based in Tualatin, Oregon.
Artists that used Sunn amplifiers include Velvet Underground last era, The Who, The Moody Blues, Cream, Mountain, Steppenwolf, Kiss, Rush, Queen, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, and Keith Lilly of The Heats.
