Hot Pants

Hot Pants is one of the numerous groups involving the French/Latin singer-songwriter Manu Chao and his cousin, drummer Santi. As with all of Chao's music, the group had many influences, most notably The Clash, which contributed to their rockabilly sound. The group sang in English and Spanish. The group released a demo tape in 1984 entitles "Mala Vida," and in 1985 they released a 45 with the single "So many nites" (and B-side "Lover Alone"). They released a full length album entitled Loco Mosquito in 1986, which was rereleased in 2000.

Spirit of John

Formed in Leeds, UK in 2008, The Spirit of John is a two-piece band featuring Joshua Sheard (vocals, guitar) and Adam Richards (double bass), both 23 years old. Taking their cue from various pre-war American music styles (particularly bluegrass and rockabilly) as well as great storytellers like Tom Waits, Jeff Mangum and Johnny Cash, their sound is an interplay between Sheard's delicately picked guitar melodies and Richards' thumping bass parts.

As Diabatz

During summertime in 2006, three south brazilian girls have noticed that it was about time to start an all-girl band in the Brazil's Psychobilly scene. Inspired by the 80's classic psycho bands, they started to play their own simple & raw songs, willing to transmit this disease that Psychobily is all about. "The Brazilian psycho scene spawned a luscious rarity in 2006, when three ladies stirred up their own twist on the original style from the early eighties.

Big Sandy

Since forming in 1988, Big Sandy & His Fly-Rite Boys have emerged as one of the world's most respected practitioners of American roots music—western swing, rockabilly, and traditional country—playing it like they invented it. "I think of us as just a rock and roll band—a rock and roll band that's letting the roots show," says bandleader Big Sandy. Whether they're playing the Grand Ole Opry, Late Night With Conan O'Brien, or simply climbing out of a bus after rolling into your town, these guys are bringing us some great old-time rock and roll.
