Rockabilly bands??

Whoa, I saw both of these bands last Satruday night here in cincy...

 

what the hell is a gothabilly? Don't answer that.

 

I've heard that term myself and tend to think it's pretty hella gay. I would call the Cramps a garage rock band before anything...

 

saying hella gay NOW THATS GAY.................

 

Thanks Tikifreak, I appreciate it.

Has anyone metioned www.hepcatrecords.com yet?

I also like the Dempseys and Turbo 350 in Memphis. You'd think there'd be alot of rockabilly bands in Memphis. Uh uh. There are 2. And I happened to stumble into both of them while I was down there.

Where's krupanut?

 

god damn guys this is one of the funniest fucking threads I have read in a while........

 

I have a cuff on my vinyl pants and my pomp grease keeps smearing my eyeliner. I'm not from Michigan, bnut I lived in Detroit for awhile.

Love,

All you'll evey need to know about rockabilly
(I'm kidding, I'm kidding!)

 

oh no its a gothaorcabetty. and don't forget man all cars need to be painted flatblack with red rims. and be sure to check the lenght of your cuffs

 

ok, who ever said The Cramps was a garage band needs to be slapped.......and yea, saying anything is "Hella" is about the most stuipid thing i've ever heard(gay,too,haha)


as far as -billy goes
Demented are GO (of course)
The Blue Shadows
The Mutilaters
Coffin Draggers
Tiger Army
and many many more

ohh yea, and the Graveyard Rumblers

 

Any and everything that came out of Sun Studios in the 50's... Elvis, Carl Perkins etc. Early gene Vincent and Wanda Jackson sounds damn good to me too. for me thats the building Blocks .. I also like Chuck Berry and bo Diddley etc. Its not "rockabilly" but it makes me want to cruise and have a good time. alot of good new stuff too . let me think.................

 

I so rarely get to post here due to my comparative total lack of knowledge of all matters tecnical, so I'll jump at the chance to offer some OT input...

I'd recommend:

The Chop Tops

The Frantic Flattops (My favorite!)

The Cigar Store Indians

Just a few of the "neo-billy" bands....

 

The originals are wonderful of course. My Two favorites of the current acts are Paul Galaxy & the Galactix and the Lustre Kings. The Galactix are out of Denver and play rockabilly and surf. Paul galaxy is a fabulous guitarist. The Lustre Kings are from New York and are an great old style act. Check out the links.

High Noon- The Rockabilly Trio.
One of the BEST bands I have EVER seen live.

 

Wade "crybaby" Walker

 

The Meteors are ALL the psychobilly you need........

I'm still laughing about the "gothasillies"........

 

And the singer is soooo dreamy.....

Thanks for the kind words Spooky.

 

I think the best rockabilly band ever was the late great Bel Furies, they put out but one record and it's an absolute masterpiece. I can't think of a more brilliantly written record.
