The band you never saw!!

I tend to stick to old pyschobilly bands like the guanabatz. Seen them at the hairy dog in derby, seems to be the place for a lot of old bands these day.

 

looks brilliant

 

That's cool!

I like Led Zeppelin and that's an interesting cover.

 

They are one of the oldest and best known (although hardly known) psychobilly bands...

 

The only thing remotely like I've that is a band called Tiger Army.

Seen a few smaller punk bands too and Ska/Punk bands like Capdown and JB Conspiracy.

 

Yeah tiger army ain't really the same, still ok though.

O;ld school psychobilly was heavily influenced by rockabilly, new school is more in a punk mode.

 

Yeah bit out of my knowledge mate

 

basically psychobilly was a mixture of rockabilly and punk, usually had a slap bass...

bands like guanabatz, meteors and king kurt are the only one's who really got big (on a tiny scale)

 

And The Cramps


I am the mad mad daddy...

 

Ah yes, the cramps,the mad yanks.......can your pussy do the dog

 

Bowie as Ziggy was mind blowing for a 12 year old me, and I managed to see him live in all his personas - I also liked the Thin White Duke for onstage presence

 

Saw the Pogues a few times. Very hit and miss depending on who was and wasn't pissed in the band. When they were on form they were excellent.

 

Saw the Meteors once - they were great but didn't go near the dance floor as people were hammering each other.

 

Superb that's Cave for sure.

 

aye mate, it's pretty brutal at times. last gig i went to (the one in derby) i got cracked ribs.
