The Surf Rats

The Surf Rats have been touring and recording their own unique style of psychobilly since the dawn of the UK scene in the early 1980's. The band's original line-up recorded two classic "must-have" psychobilly albums for Lost Moment Records.
During the decline of the psychobilly scene in the 1990's, the original line-up continued to perform and record under different names, moving more towards a rockabilly sound.

The Ricochets

The Ricochets were one of the first wave of Psychobilly bands, springing forth from the Rockabilly scene. Their drummer and bassist both played in the Guana Batz later on, and the drummer also played with The Meteors and The Highliners. Classic early Psychobilly,lots of tracks.
The Ricochets started out as the backing band for Marney Webb (look out for his 'Still searchin' - a great track), and were originally known as 'Pink And Black'. They were a pretty average covers band in the beginning, but a girl that hung around with them had some cool ideas.

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.

Luna Vegas

Luna Vegas formed after Nick Plant (bass) and Daz Night (guitar) got together at the end of 2004. They started reminiscing about old times when they used to play in a band called Stench, a psychobilly band from the late 1980's and early 1990's. Nick and Daz decided that they would start jamming again, so Daz went out and bought himself a new guitar and Nick bought himself a new double bass. They started jamming in Daz's lounge just for the enjoyment of playing music again, but they then decided to take it further and start a band.
