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.

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. Both are top bands so this is going to be a show not to miss!

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.
For more info please contact venues and ticket sales merchants..

This is one of my most anticipated releases. The Tabaltix have been around for a few years and they finally have a record coming out. Definitely one of the coolest sounding young bands in the scene.

DATES OF THE MEETING: 24th to 30th of June, 7 nights
DATES OF THE FESTIVAL: 26th, 27th, 28th and 29th of June, 4 nights festival.
Some of you already know thatàà..as we announced in 2007 psychobilly meeting program, we wanted to move the whole event to another town, the festival is getting bigger and bigger and we needed a better venue , we found the help we were looking for in Pineda de Mar, next town to Calella. 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.
At the moment we are working with the line up of the festival and the rest of parties organized for the rest of the days of the meeting, so subscribe to that blog if you want to be the first one to know what┤s cookin┤!!
See you at the beach!!!
Just for Fun"
