Fireballs

“Technicolour rock, in the age of beige” Beat magazine Fireballs are recognised by many as Australia’s first and foremost psychobilly band, a reputation credited to their early beginnings and their present longevity. From inception the idea was to capture a flavour that would recognise their original rockabilly roots and their love of playing hard ‘n’ fast. Heavily influenced by double bass driven international bands, such as The Stray Cats, Batmobile, Mad Sin and the Klingonz, Fireballs ambitiously aimed to carve out their own niche in a smaller Melbourne scene.

Westcoast Whippers

Westcoast Whippers! GET ME SOME PSYCHEDELIC, TIGHT SLAPBASS PUNK-A-BILLY SHIT AND FAST!!!!! Westcoast Whippers: Al Right, you wacky’s! Listen: There were young two men from Lieto, Finland, - Guitarist/Singer Tero Kohtamäki and Slap-bass player Jukka Nurmi, who've been friends for a lifetime. Those 20-year-old boys found a drummer, Arto Korhonen, and hallelujah! They got a band, nominated and christened: PAIN IN ARSE, formed in late 1991. A raw sounding punk-a-billy trio, real honest thing, honeys! Our music was essentially pure evergreen Rock-a-billy, intermixed with straight punk.
