rockabilly

The Neutronz are a new-ish Rockabilly trio from the North East of England, however all of the musicians have played in various bands and shows over the past 20 years (including 'Big Boy Bloater' and the hit musical 'Buddy'). We play Rockin music from the 1950,s through to the present day (including many original tracks) and are heavily influenced by artists such as the Stray Cats, Restless, Meteors, Guana Batz, Polecats and The Planet Rockers,however, we enjoy taking songs from the 1980's and 90,s and giving them a rockin' twist.

After becoming disillusioned with their hometown of Leeds and its fame-obsessed music scene (particularly following the mainstream success of fame-chasers The Kaiser Chiefs), The Despondents formed in the summer of 2006. Taking their cues from punk bands past and present their aim is to bring us short sharp garage punk tunes that hit you like an atom bomb. And boy do they deliver. Shuddering basslines, screeching guitars, insane vocals and a drummer who makes Keith Moon seem like a choirboy! Each song is filled with its own self belief and expectation.

The Quakes are a psychobilly band from Buffalo, NY. They were formed in 1986, and were one of the very first American psychobilly bands. They are considered very influential to the current American psychobilly scene, but in the late 80's, there was no scene to speak of in the United States. The Quakes Moved to London to try to find success. Former members: Paul Roman (vocals, guitar), Rob Peltier (upright bass) and Dave "The Ace" Hoy (drums).

Colonel JD Wilkes (The Legendary Shack Shakers) and his wife Jessica, along with “Slow” Layne Hendrickson, make up the hillbilly/hokum trio The Dirt Daubers. Based in Paducah, Kentucky, the trio brings to the table an ecclectic mix of Appalachian, ragtime, and hot jazz standards and original music. Several Legendary Shack Shakers tracks are covered by the band also.
