Quick Rezurex Update

From Daniel on the Rezurex myspace blog:

"We will release our 2nd C.D. on Fiendforce Records (Germany) April 2008! This will be followed by our 5th European tour starting at the Satanic Stomp psychobilly fest in Germany.

Stay Psycho!

Massacres Update

From the Massacres myspace blog:

"Greetings to you all, fellow fiends and ghouls!

Just a quick update to let you know that The Massacres will be heading into Mystery Street Recording Studio the weekend of the 5th and 6th of January to record a new EP, tentatively titled 'Redemption' (although this may change). If all goes to plan and on schedule, this will be released through Bouncing Betty Records, based here in Chicago and will be our first vinyl release! I am thinking that we will be including CDr copys with them too, so at least you can hear what it sounds like, as we appreciate that not everyone has a vinyl player (even some vinyl collectors!). We are still undecided on how many tracks we want to put on there, but rest assured that our 2 newies 'Love You To Death' and 'Six Thousand Miles' will be on there. Stay tuned for more info on this release.

Massacres are currently taking a break after a rip-roaring finish to 2007 with the Beat Kitchen show supporting our good friends from Detroit - The Koffin Kats. It was a killer show and had a great turn out, its always cool to see everyone out at the all ages shows and if we keep it up, it may increase the frequency of all ages shows in Chicago. We shared the stage with our boys Johnny Murder and the 25 to Life, who have come on leaps and bounds. This band is going places, remember where you heard it first :) Love Donut, anyone?

We'll be taking a rest for a wee while, but thats not to say we won't be doing things, we are writing new material for a second album (2 tracks which are on the upcoming EP) with others already in the raw stage, and revamping some merch here and there, and also some new stuff too, so keep yer eyes peeled. We won't be doing any live shows for a little while either, as January marks the arrival of my baby boy, so I will be getting used to the role of 'dad'. This is a very exciting time for me, and somewhat scary, as this is unchartered territory. Watch out for Massacres 'onsies' coming soon lol!

On that note, I think that just about covers everything. Have a fabulous New Year, and we'll see you for more horror in 2008....

I remain, your most humble fiend...

Horrorpops news

"Danish born, Los Angeles based pop-punk trio HorrorPops will unveil their hotly anticipated third album, Kiss Kiss Kill Kill, on February 5th courtesy of Hellcat Records. Inspired by thematic elements from vintage films and classic soundtracks, the noir-influenced release emphasizes the bandÆs unique ability to intermingle a variety of influences ranging from punk, rockabilly, new wave and surf.

Three Bad Jacks in flux. Looking for a new drummer

Not too long ago, we had a bit of news about the Three Bad Jacks looking for a new bass player. That ended up turning into a big fiasco with the old guy. Apparently they've found a bass player, but now need a new drummer. It seems to be turning into a one man show...

"We are looking for a new drummer. We are currently using a great friend and fantastic drummer Adam. But he is just filling in. We are looking for a permanent drummer. You have to be a real hard worker and a skilled musician. Please no egomaniacs or Drug Addicts. We are looking for someone who likes to travel .
Thanks
Three Bad Jacks"

This departure is made on good terms and Troy continues to be a supporter of Nekromantix.
Kim Nekroman wishes nothing but the best for Troy in his future endevours and will most likely be involved .
Fans of Nekromantix, and great music in general know Troy for his stellar,top of the genre Guitar playing. Keep an eye out for Troy's album in the near future.

Hell's Bent On Rockin': A History of Psychobilly

There is a new book on the horizon due next month from Craig Brackenridge, author of "Let's Wreck". The book is titled Hell's Bent on Rockin', and while I haven't been able to dig up too much info on it, I know that it comes from Stormscreen Productions and is due in November. Here is one of the most recent postings from the Myspace blog of Stormscreen:

"The new book is scheduled for release in the first week of November. The full title is "HELL'S BENT ON ROCKIN': A HISTORY OF PSYCHOBILLY". The cover is on the Amazon site now (though it is not the final proof) and their page count may not be exact but is certainly a chunkier read than LET'S WRECK. I started reading through the complete manuscript on the bog but couldn't even finish the first two chapters before my legs went numb and I lost all feeling in my arse.. which I think signifies a fairly substantial read!"

Sounds interesting, "Let's Wreck" was a bit on the light side, so if there is a more definitive history coming up, I'm all for it. There will no doubt be some things left out, but I have high hopes.

Nekromantix National Headline Tour

Here are the dates for Nekromantix's latest national headlining tour. One interesting thing about this tour as opposed to the few prior is that all of their traveling support are also "billy" bands, they've got Detroit's Koffin Kats and Santa Cruz's Chop Tops.

Mad Sin Australia Tour canceled!

Unfortunate news from Creepshow Promotions:

"Mad Sin Australian Tour POSTPONED!!

Its words that all psychobilly fans throughout Australia never wanted to hear, but due to circumstances beyond everyones control the tour has been postponed due to practical complications.

All parties involved tried everything in their power to make this tour go ahead but were unsuccesful....But the boys will def be coming out early 2008 as it gives everyone involved more time to organise and

fix these problems at hand.

Both the band and us here at Creepshow Promotions wish to apologise to all those out there who have been counting the hours that Mad Sin grace our shores, though like stated above its a problem that is out of everyones hands but will be fixed asap for a fresh new tour in 2008.

We are currently working out ticket details and refunds for all you fine people out there who bought tickets to the shows. We are hopefully going to organise a way for you to exchange your tickets for the future shows in 2008.

The new venue it will be on the main beach in a big tend . We will keep the beach bar as meeting point during the day as is located in Pineda de Mar.

We decided to change the dates of the Psychobilly Meeting because you will get better hotel prices and good deals for flight tickets, as the high season stars in July and the weather is already sunny and hot.

We are going to update our page soon with list of Pineda hotels and prices.

Mad Marge & the Stonecutters "Liberated" out now!

From the myspace blog of People Like You Records:

"From the obscure and often lonely cities of the High Desert, located in San Bernardino County, California, this Rock`n`Roll four piece MAD MARGE &AND THE STONECUTTERS delivers an appealing and impacting sound with hints of Punk Rock, Psychobilly, Metal and everything in between."

In late 2004 with the demise of their previous bands, Mad Marge (Vox), Wehttam (Guitar), Passion Dan (Drums) and Edgar (Double Bass) immediately found camaraderie between one another as friends and musicians to form MAD MARGE &AND THE STONECUTTERS. Within months they became one of the hardest working bands in the Psychobilly scene that spent the next 2 years working on familiarizing the bands name and their music with anyone who would listen.

MAD MARGE &AND THE STONECUTTERS were given early opportunities to share the stage with legendary acts such as Demented Are Go and Nekromantix.
Growing interest in the group led to the release of MAD MARGE &AND THE STONECUTTERS debut self-titled album in 2005, and they have been pushing the album with such vigor and ferocity that they have won the hearts of fans reaching not only throughout the U.S. but across the globe.
With a tremendously strong response from the first record, MAD MARGE &AND THE STONECUTTERS are anxiously looking forward to their 2nd album in "Liberated!" that will deliver an even bigger punch than the first.

1. No Looking Back
2. Issues

5. Dial Z For A Zombie

Frenzy's Silver Anniversary Outlook

25 years on and Frenzy are still rockin'. They recently posted an update on their Myspace page:

"Well...we are heading into Autumn 2007 and we are starting to get prepared for 2008 which is FRENZY's 25th Anniversary year . We have a lot of stuff planned and we are currently recording our new album . The album title is ''In The Blood'' (at the moment anyway ) and is sounding GREAT. We are so chuffed with the songs we have written and the sound is more 'Neo'. We are also in the process of editing our new DVD . We have done a lot of filming...interviews , live stuff and promo footage etc.. and we have been trawling thru our extensive historic archive going right back to our founding year...1983 !! Its gonna be ROCKIN' TASTIC !

One thing we want to do in our 25th year is a World Tour...ambitious we know and we want to appeal to any promoters and agents out there...management and everyone.........we need to network ourselves as much as possible to make this happen. We have a lot of stuff sorted already with our 'regulars' but we want to broaden our horizons .Spread the word....tell all and if you think you can help us set this project up , please leave a note , comment or message with any info you can give.

Nitro Boy will soon be licenced into the USA and that will be a great help 'cos we are fully aware that the wonderful States is the biggest market for FRENZY. We know some of you guys out there have been having trouble getting hold of the album so hang on !! In the meantime , you can get hold of all of our products , CD's and T - Shirts ...the lot ....from us directly by simply contacting us on this page . Leave details and requests and we will get back to you...guaranteed !!

Steve Whitehouse is still in the process of finishing his first solo album so keep an eye on this page for more news about the release date . Gonna do a personal MySpace page soon too..

In the meantime ...look out for FRENZY at the KINGS OF PSYCHOBILLY in Hamburg in October and in Milano , Italy in mid Oct. We are negotiating lots of other shows at the moment too ....as soon as they are confirmed , they will go up on the gigs section.

For all of you noticing that our Website is down...we know....don't worry...we just aint paid the bill and we are gonna replace it with a new one. This has been going on for a while and will inc a download facility and online store. With all the other stuff going on , it has been put back a bit...there simply isn't enough hours in the day and , hey....MySpace is FREE !! Hang on though , we really wanna get a new Frenzy Website up and running soon.

More info soon....post a comment....go on , you know you want to !!!

All the best

News from A Sailor's Grave

From the brief ashes of Hyperjax rose A Sailor's Grave. Now of course Hyperjax have reformed and A Sailor's Grave continues along, here is some news from their myspace blog:

"So yeah... We finally got something recorded. Two tracks are up and we have some more to follow in the next few days.
We recorded them in supersonic time, just banging them all out live. We're pretty pleased with them, but oviously they are just a vehicle for letting the world know what we're about... Feel free to download them, burn them, pass them about...

We played our first show last week in Wigan. Cheers to the legions of you who turned up to support us - We've never had a crowd like that in Wigan before. Not bad for our first show! Thanks to everyone who bought shirts. And to those who missed out we will be setting up a function on here for shirts, wife beaters and the like... Look out for that in the near future.

Photos are coming soon. But rest assured, we will look fantastic on them! We had a photoshoot and will be putting some of them up here in the next few days, as well as a few live shots.

We're now looking to book shows; so if you want us to play your town drop us a line and we'll try our best to sort it. Conversely, if you want to put us on a bill, just ask and we'll most likely agree!

So thats about it for now. If you like our new tunes let us know. If you don't, let us know! And spread the news about this site in a bulletin if you can, with a link to our page. That would be a huge help to us, and we'd really appreciate it.

Thanks for your support,
A*S*G"

Recent Unfortunate Happenings @ Psychobilly Events

There have been a couple of casualties at recent psychobilly events.

One was the unfortunate and sad drowning of a 17 year old in the hotel pool following the Hollywood Showdown. There have been differing reports of what actually transpired, however, all accounts seem to indicate that no foul play was involved. This was a tragic accident. Our condolences go out to the family. This was not at the venue or at any function related to the Showdown, but I know that several attendees were aware of this and it really makes me sad.

The other occurred at a Zombie Ghost Train show, this is from their myspace:

"MAN STABBED AT ZGT VEGAS SHOW

Sydney band Zombie Ghost Train are currently finishing up a 2 and a half month tour of Europe and the USA. Last Wed 5th of September, their show was cut short when a fight broke out in the crowd and a man was stabbed in the neck. Police were soon in attendance and the venue was shutdown. The man is in hospital in a stable condition. Despite this set back ZGT have had an amazing tour culminating with a show to a packed house in Hollywood on Saturday. Zombie Ghost Train return to Australia next week and will be hitting the East Coast with Germany psychobilly kings Mad Sin in October. Their new album "Dealing the Death Card" has been released in Australia, Europe and USA."

This pisses me off. Coupled with the fairly recent death at the Meteors House of Blues gig and this is becoming a problem. Psychobilly in this country has been, for the most part, immune to this sort of brutal behavior. In Europe there is a little history like this, but nothing here so far. Can't we all just get along?

Seriously, is it really worth it?

Thee Merry Widows workingon a new album

This short but informative tidbit came from Miss Eva von Slut on the Psychobilly-Online message board:

"You will be glad to hear (or maybe not) that thee Merry Widows finally got off our asses and are recording a new album.

Today is the first day of tracking....so don't expect anything soon but we are hard at work on a brand new album..."

Mad Marge album news

From the Myspace of Mad Marge & the Stonecutters:

"News : Liberated! / Warped Tour 2007

Fall 2007 will bring us a new chapter in our lives. Liberated! our follow-up album to our self-titled debut release will be out on People Like You Records. We have updated two tracks from the record to our Myspace page, Walk Away and The Hardest Thing. The other 9 tracks will be in rotation soon. The Album will also be followed by a European tour in November and December, a US tour is also being worked out.

We would like to thank everyone for their support this summer that came out to see us on Vans Warped Tour and our tour with Left Alone. Were glad to be home and will be playing a few shows here in Southern California. A special thank you to Revolution Mother, The Unseen, Lucky 13, Kevin Lyman, Left Alone and all the kids that came out. Will see you again soon!"

Hilly Kristal R.I.P.

CBGB Founder, Hilly Kristal Dies at Age 75

NEW YORK, Aug. 29 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- It is with deep sadness and regret that we inform you of the death of Hilly Kristal, who died on Tuesday, August 28, 2007 from complications from Lung Cancer. Kristal, 75, founded the legendary rock club CBGB and ran the club for 33 years. A singer and songwriter himself, Kristal opened the club to showcase "Country Bluegrass and Blues"; instead the club became a breeding ground for Punk rock. Among the many acts that called CBGB home were Blondie, the Talking Heads, Television, Living Color, Patti Smith and the Ramones. The club closed in October 2006, but CBGB continues, with a retail store in New York City and worldwide merchandise sales; in addition, there currently are plans to open new CBGB clubs in several locations. Kristal is survived by his daughter, Lisa Kristal Burgman, son, Mark Dana Kristal, son-in-law Ger Burgman, grandchildren Jenny and Adam Burgman, CBGB, and the thousands of artists and musicians who played the club. A private memorial service is planned. A public memorial will be held at a later date. Contributions in Hilly's honor may be made in his name to the American Cancer Society or to the Hilly Kristal Foundation for Musicians and Artists (168 Second Avenue, PMB 207, New York, NY 10003).

Bamboula Seeks A New Drummer

From Bamboula's Myspace:

"Bamboula is looking for a new drummer in the LA area for gigging, touring, recording & creative input.

Our original drummer Seanzi was an important & integral part of the band, so we're looking for more than just a drummer. We're looking for a new bandmate, a new brother & someone who can help us take our music to a new level. We need someone talented, creative, passionate & versatile. An open mind & a good sense of humor doesn't hurt either.

For those of you that aren't familiar with us, we play an intense & aggressive mix of classic psychobilly & classic punk with strong elements of everything from garage to jazz to ska to metal to just about anything else.
Influences are too broad to list & are ever evolving but include bands ranging from Batmobile - Dead Kennedys - Benny Goodman - Oingo Boingo - Iron Maiden.
We're trying to do something a little different, so you have to hear it to really know.

We are an experienced band with an album out on Kaiser Records & live to play music. We play as often as possible in & out of California.

Stylistically we're looking for Buddy Rich meets Rat Scabies meets Josh Freese.
We need someone who can play swing/jazz/voodoo-rhythm at punk speeds with intensity & aggression then switch to a technical rhythm figure or tight groove within the same song.

A good feel & energy is key.

Good stage presence & any kind of vocal ability are huge pluses.
Previous band experience is preferred.
Double Kick ability is not required but also a big plus.

Must be willing/able to gig regularly, tour as often as possible (domestically & internationally), record, learn past material, contribute creatively to new material, practice at least a couple days a week in the Los Angeles, Hollywood or Santa Clarita area, have/get a passport, play at an advanced – professional level & have as much fun as possible in the process.

If you are interested or know someone who might be, please message us or email us: bamboulabilly@yahoo.com

We will miss Sean & continue to play with the amazing Rick Stojak of the Barnyard Ballers on drums until a permanent replacement is found."

The King is dead, LONG LIVE THE KING!

I haven't been posting much lately, honestly, not much has been going on apart from tours I've already posted about, but today is a special day. Someday in the not to distant future I plan to be in Memphis on this day to celebrate the life and work of Elvis, unfortunately it'll have to wait, and I'll do the best I can here.

Elvis Aron Presley 1935-1977

Taggy Tones to sign with ESP

Denmark's great neo-rockabilly band The Taggy Tones have posted an update to their Myspace blog:

"We are just about to sign with ESP Records, and hopefully the next album "Rollin" will be out in November 2007.

Our latest studio album "Rockin" from 2003 was also released on ESP, and we think it's important once again to have full promotion in our own country.

ESP has released albums with bands like Nekromantix, Defectors, Wild Wax Combo, Powersolo ect. It's a label doing all kinds of underground music as long as it rocks

We are also thinking about doing this one on vinyl as well, as we know the vinyl marked is steady growing, and the CD will be gone in 5-8 years for sure, and the downloads will be taking over.

Cheers

www.taggytones.dk"

Myspace update from The Quakes

Here you go:

"Just 5 weeks away from our fall tour of the Southwest USA and Europe.
The new guys are sounding great! We have changed up the set list a bit and added a few songs that people have been yelling for over the past 4 years, and some that I wanted to play live. Rest assured we will be doing all of our hits (?)

Sorry we are not coming to England! I keep getting messages requesting we come but frankly, we have not had any offers from promoters in the UK. Its kind of sad seeing that we spent so much time there in our early days.

I put up the song "no face" here on myspace. The song is one of the previously unreleased demos that are on the new Quiff Rock album.
The song was recorded in 1995.

...and as usual, for the most up to date info go to www.thequakes.com"

Hyperjax Redux

So, I know I posted a farewell notice from Hyperjax a few weeks ago, but today I got this in the mail:

" Hey everyone, this is Sam typing, I’d like to announce that I’ve put a new band together with a another guitartist, a new double bassist and a new animal drummer, we’ve been practicing hard playing a few songs which I wrote and sang in my last band I played in and doing pretty much the same style of loud rocking punkabilly. So lets think of a name…hmmmm. How about
“THE HYPERJAX”? Yes I’m having it!

It’s been over a month since I decided to split up the last chapter of The Hyperjax. I never thought I could continue without my long standing double bass player and friend Bob Corner. I always like the idea of an original line up or at least two left who carry the banner to the end of the line.
Sadly this is not an ideal world and peoples lives change where they can’t give it all they’ve got anymore
But I’m going to try again and go it alone because right now it feels like in my heart the right thing to do. “Pardon the ego!” I started this band a long time ago and I never gave up on it despite at times feeling like we we’re bottom of the pile. I’m doing this because I still believe there’s so much more to achieve and I’ve got the opportunity to record another album which is what I’ve had my heart set on this year and although have enough to occupy my time with besides music. Its been the music alone which is the greatest ever thing I’ve been fortunate enough to get into and at time times you feel like its all you’ve got. I’m not asking for an online standing ovation on that one, but I do hope you will give me another chance and continue to enjoy my band.
So it looks like I’m going to have to fall into the same Psychobilly category as

Loz Dolan, Nick 13, Mark Pennington, P.Paul Fenech, Chuck Flintstone, The bloke from Rezurex, Kim Nekroman, Humungas, along with many others who have been the last of their crew to sail their ships onward and upwards and good ships they still are!

The new personel crew on the good ship hyper is

Liam Revenge - Guitar and vocals (ex Revenge of the psychotronic men)
Keith Green – Double bass and vocals (ex Frantic Flinstones)
Neil “Teen Wolf” Holden (of Preston punk band Dying for Toto – Drums
And myself

For those who are familiar with the band live especially, no its not going to be the same without Bob I already know that and I accept that some of you may view this next step as a tribute band of what was, but the songs and performance is still going to be there plus a whole lot more. So we’re starting again at the Solway Festival on the Scottish border at the end of the month with The Levellers and The Undertones and more, see you in a bit.!

Sam Woods –THE HYPERJAX!

New Latino Psychobilly message board

Johnny Nightmare, new psychobilly from Denmark!

I hope I've not been living under a rock and missed this completely, but I just got a myspace friend request from this band. Johnny Nightmare features Dax Dragster aka. Thomas Mejer, former singer and guitarist of the Godless Wicked Creeps. In the new act he plays upright bass and sings. They have a sound that reminds me of Nekromantix and this is really not surprising since Thomas once told me that the thing that got him into psychobilly in the first place was someone playing Nekromantix first album on 45 and he thought it was completely insane! This songs are pretty good, and it is nice to hear Thomas resurface after the last psychobilly related project he had was the seemingly short lived Bull'it. Strange that the former skinhead ended up in a psychobilly band and the rest of his former GWC bandmates ended up in garage bands. Anyway, skol! Check out Johnny Nightmare on Myspace

Tiger Army "Razor's Kiss Tour '07"

Tiger Army has announced a bunch of dates for their fall tour, the list is not complete as there are many shows still yet to be confirmed, but it is the most complete list to date. One a more personal note, one of the most exciting parts of this for me is the inclusion of Said Radio on the San Francisco show. Eric Ozenne, singer of Said Radio (also Redemption 87 and Nerve Agents), is like a force of nature on stage, and is amazing to watch. This comes from Tiger Army's Myspace blog:
