Evil Devil

Evil Devil's project took place in Italy, March 2001, when CremEvil try to put once again together his previous band called Bone Rest which included AmbrosEvil and PiccEvil too. They decided to replace the previous singer with Angel Face, (a very good friend of CremEvil that was since long time in the psycho scene) and change the band name into Evil Devil.
It follows a short period of practicing, and the guys decided to self produce a CD with the songs they wrote, just for fun. The band sent the CD to the German label Crazy Love Records, probably the most important in the psycho scene.

Demented Are Go!

Trying to determine just when and how Demented Are Go started is not an exact science as the band members themselves admit that their memories are not all that good, but we do know that by 1982 the band were up and running.

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.

Zombina & The Skeletones

Debut album "Taste The Blood Of Zombina & The Skeletones" was released in late 2002 and quickly sold out following gigs up and down the country with the likes of The Damned, The Misfits, and The Meteors. In 2003 the band set up the finest glam/punk/rock 'n' roll club the Mersey area has ever seen - "Useless" happened every other Tuesday at the Zanzibar in Liverpool for almost 3 years before a change of name and venue saw new night "Zombie Hop" arrive (and then disappear soon after) at the Heaven & Hell club.
