Looking for some more Rockabilly bands...

This seems like a good place to find some info...

i'm looking for some more rockabilly band to satisfy my new obsession...

so far i like
Nekromantix
Tiger Army
Horrorpops <- (i REALLY heart The HPS)
Stray Cats
Social Distortion (i guess their would be more oldschool punk than RB, but i dunno)

Man, here you go, a list of some of the best rockabilly and psychobilly:

The Meteors (The original psychobilly band)
Demented Are Go
The Guana Batz
Batmobile
Godless Wicked Creeps
Coffin Nails
The Reverend Horton Heat
The Stray Cats
The Frantic Flintstones
The Hillbilly Hellcats

Bands who aren't quite rockabilly or psychobilly but are close enough to warrant mention:
The Cramps
Social Distortion
Southern Culture on the Skids
The Runaway Boys
The Supersuckers
Screamin' Jay Hawkins

And finally, shameful self promotion of my own band, also in a similar vein as those above, but with more southern rock and punk:
I Can Lick Any Sonofabitch in the House

There is a great website called The Wrecking Pit that is the best place on the web to find any and all psychobilly related shit. Hope this was helpful!

the atomiks

jesus conspiracy flying saucer rockabilly

and no one has yet mentioned THE AMAZING (ROYAL) CROWNS! i would try their first CD...not the second one when they were just the amazing crowns...they are not together anymore but awsome none the less!

Syrup

RoyalCrown is more big Band but works in the Rockabilly arena. I like Big Sandy and the Flyrite boys, The Palildans, Jason and the Scorchers, The Rev. Heat, Carl Perkins, The Meteors,.........man there are so many! It's late but if you want to go to one of the best shows, every year the James Dean gallery puts on a great weekend long Rockabilly festival in Freemont Indiana.Now I went for 4 years straight but I haven't been in over 7 years so I would hope it's still going.Call to find out.Also in Socal.....the Hootnanny every summer.Theres BBQ's, people and bands come from all over the world to the James Dean festival.

You're thinking of Royal Crown Review. Royal Crown Review kinds does big bang/swing. The Amazing Royal Crowns are pretty much rockabilly.


Many of the artists I like have already been mentioned.....but there's also Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison, Wanda Jackson, Gene Vincent & the Blue Caps, & Elvis.

Bill Haley

the living end..

their first cd is fuckin awsome

The Bands you are taking about fall more in the psychobilly end of things, but I recomend checking out the following albums






The Tall Boys: Funtime

wow...

those lists will keep me busy for a while lol

thanx y'all

UK Rockabilly!!

-Steve Bloomfield
-The Flyin' Saucers
-Little Tina & Flight '56
-Dave Phillips & The Hot Rod Gang
-Ray Neale & The All Stars
-Blue Cat Trio

What's hotter than a beautiful woman who knows her rockabilly?

Answer: nothing.

i didn't realize there was a difference... i'm very new to this end of the musical spectrum...


oh, i'm probably pushing my luck on this one, but does anyone by chance know of any North Carolina bands or shows?

There's a bazillion made-up classifications.

Psychobilly
Punkabilly
Gothabilly

They seem kinda silly to me...a pompadour, standup bass & three chords do not a rockabilly band make.

But it's all in good fun. That's why I love this kind of music. Rockabilly, in all its forms, is just plain fun music.

wrecking pit..good website to listen to some of the bands mentioned above
mad sin
the quakes
dragstrip demons real cool mexican rockabilly band
hasil adkins

try Tav Falco W/ Panther Burns

Life Without Elvis

THEY ROCK!

they have yet to do anything except play shows everywhere.

You can also find rockabilly in the most unsuspecting places.

Did you know that Morrissey, The Violent Femmes & The Hoodoo Gurus all have rockabilly-type songs?

Agreed, they were an awsome band. If you like their first album try checking out their live album. "Amazing Crowns Payback Live" Damn they were good live! You can also check out Jason's new band The Deterrents They are straight up rock.

Kay

You may also want to check out the nullKIngs of Nuthin'

and for those of you who like surf/punk check out the Turbo AC's.

Okay, I've plugged my favorite local bands now.

I recommend any of the following:
Mad Sin, Batobile, Celtic Bones, Coffin Nails, The Deadkings, Os Catalepticos, Demented Are Go, Graveyard Shift, The Mutilators, The Hellbillys, The Meteors, Godless Wicked Creeps, Banane Metalik, Guanabatz, Deadbolt, Eddie Cochran, Gene Vincent, The Deadutantes, Hasil Atkins, HiFi And the Roadburners, Kim Lenz and Her Jaguars, Kings of Nuthin, The Coffin nails, The Slanderin, The Quakes, The Cenobites, The Klingonz, The Hangmen (UK), old Freddie Fender, The Flametric Subs, the Devil Spades, Wanda Jackson, Speed Crazy, the Alphabet Bombers, Turbo ACs, The Tall Boys, Frantic Flintstones, Frantic Flat Tops, James Demons, the Stray Cats, The Astrozombies, Asmodeus, Calavera, The Krewmen, Thee Headcoates, Thee Mighty Ceasars, Billy B Childish, The Photon Torpedos, Satan's Teardrops, Satan's Pilgrims, Hayride to Hell, The Coffin Draggers, The Monsters, Long Tall Texans, Blitzkid, The Stingrays, The Belmont Playboys, Cult of the Psychic Fetus, Thee Exit Wounds, Gorilla, Gutter Demons
