Morgans first band was The Rationals. In the early years the band went through several line up changes but in the end, the line up consisted of: Scott Morgan (guitars and vocals), Steve Correll (guitars), Terry Trabandt (bass guitar) and Bill Figg (drums). The band started out playing instrumental blues and surf inspired music but in 1964 the band played a cover of Barrett Strong's "Money", which was noticed by manager Jeep Holland. The band soon started to record their music and started touring. In 1968 the band opened for the MC5, when the Five were recording their debut live LP. By the late 60's there was tension building within the band and Iggy Pop and Scott Asheton were both considered as replacements for drummer Bill Figg and Terry Trabandt was supposedly considering leaving the band. In 1969 the band recorded their selftitled LP which was released in 1970. After an argument at the Embassy Hotel Lounge in Windsor, Ontario the band finally decided to break up. Morgan then briefly regrouped with a band called Guardian Angel with his brother David on drums and Wayne "Tex" Gabriel on guitar.[1]
After Guardian Angel Morgan joined up with former MC5 guitarist Fred "Sonic" Smith, drummer Scott Asheton of The Stooges and Lightnin', Gary Rasmussen in the late 1970s to form the Detroit rock supergroup Sonic's Rendezvous Band. The band only officially recorded the single "City Slang". However many bootlegs from the bands high energy live shows at venues Detroit's Bookies and Ann Arbor's Second Chance were passed around by fans. Due to the lack of recorded material, the band was somewhat of a mystery to many. An by 1980 the band finally decided to go their separate ways. Later many of the bootleg recordings would be remastered and released by Mack Aborn Rhythmic Arts in 1999.[2]
During the 1980s Morgan formed the Scott Morgan Band, and released Rock Action in 1988 backed by Sonic's Rendezvous members Gary Rasmussen and Scott Asheton. The trio later toured in America under the name Scotts Pirates and released their selftitled album included two tracks from the Rock Action. Rock Action was followed up in 1996 with the record Revolutionary Means in 1996. The same year Scott teamed up with Wayne Kramer of the MC5 and Deniz Tek under the name Dodge Main. The band played live together around the midwest. One of the shows was recorded however it has not yet been released. In 1998 Morgan teamed up with Swedish rock band The Hellacopters on their U.S tour which led to the Ep Scott Morgan and The Hellacopters.[3]
The Hydromatics was formed by Hellacopters frontman Nicke Andersson, Tony Slug and Theo Brouwer of Amsterdam punk band Nitwitz. The band was formed during The Hellacopters 1998 tour in America and in 1999 Andersson and Morgan meet up with in Amsterdam with Slug and Brouwer. The band rehearsed for six days before heading out and doing three small clubgigs in Amsterdam and later record their debut album Parts Unknown. During a six week tour the band also recorded a live CD before Andersson had to leave the band due to his commitments with his other band. He was soon replaced by Andy Frost and in 2001 the second album Powerglide was released and in 2003 the group was disbanded.[4]
After the demise of The Hydromatics Morgan once again teamed up with Nick Royale in 2004 to form what was initially called Soulmover, but later renamed The Solution. The group recorded their debut album Communicate! in Sweden with an all-Swedish line up of musicians, which was followed by a short tour in the Nordic region. Communicate! was followed up with the record Will Not Be Televised in 2007.[5] Officially the band is still active but due to all of the different members involvement finding an opportunity to work together is very difficult.[6]
