Rockabilly-Gothabilly-Psychobilly Appreciation

[Joey Deadcat]

Twisted, blasphemous French psychobilly from Banane Metalik! Threw this track on one night when I was one of the deejays during Deadline Thursdays.

[Joey Deadcat]

Man, these guys have a great sound! Little bit of Polecats, little bit of The Quakes with an equal helping of post-punk.

Idiosyncracy

Bloodshot Bill! Glad he played my dj night few years back before his 5-year ban from the States.

In case you didn't see this: a few weeks from today (January 23), Robert Gordon & the Gang They Couldn't Hang will be at the Magic Bag. Who are the Gang They Couldn't Hang? Glen Matlock, Chris Spedding and Slim Jim Phantom.

Now that is a line-up! Chris Spedding's been playing good and regular with Gordon for years but now this is really an all-star set.

Wish these cats had done more. Guitarist Chopper Von Franklin would eventually end up playing bass for The Cramps.

I got to see Bloodshot once... pretty amazing stuff! He is one creepster of a guy though. straight up oddball! GREAT musician though

Digging the near "gothabilly" sounds of these cats!

And, surely, you gotta remember Vic's old band!

Heard some of Mephisto Mafia's tunes. I remember when they'd formed;an interesting line-up - kind of a who's who.

And like V8 Nightmare they had some stuff that would end up being KK songs.

Not quite rockabilly but known and respected in the circles:

OTMAPP!

Utica rockabilly legend Johnny Powers

and Windsor boy Jack Scott!

[Joey Deadcat]

Oh, yeah - we can mention dislikes, too, yes?

The Living End - could never get into those guys; too much like Green Day with a double bass.

And The Peacocks - I like about half their material...
