Title: psychobilly?
Post by: Combinethresher on 18 Dec 2005, 22:17: Anyone else here into psychobilly at all? I love the stuff, but I often find myself alone in that opinion.

For the unfamiliar, Tiger Army and Nekromantix are more popular psychobilly bands, and thereby good examples; others include Batmobile, the Meteors, Demented Are Go, Mad Sin, and Klingonz, among many others.

Post by: KharBevNor on 19 Dec 2005, 02:15: I enjoy Tiger Army a lot, not to mention The Reverend Horton Heat, a bit of Nekromantix, The Meteors and The Ghastly Ones, at least in small doses. I love the feel and imagery of it, that sort of classic horror/southern gothic vibe.

NP: Tiger Army - Ghostfire

Yay!

Post by: sketchyjoe on 19 Dec 2005, 05:04: Mad Sin is easily my favourite Psychobilly band. Survival of the Sickest is an amazing album.

I saw The Horrorpops last Monday. They weren't bad live but I'm not a big fan. Their guitarist looks just like Kramer from Seinfeld.

Reverend Horton Heat is pretty cool. I'm seeing him in April.

Other Psychobilly bands I enjoy: The Coffin Nails, Godless Wicked Creeps, The Meteors, The Legendary Shack Shakers, The Cramps and Batmobile.

That would be Nekroman, the singer/coffinbassist for Nekomantix. He's married to Patricia from the Horrorpops. And yes, he does resemble Kramer.

Good call, whoever mentioned GWC, they rock. I've been listening to a lot of Scum Rats, Gorilla, and Frenzy myself.

I'd vote the former; models are generally idiots who say no end of dumb stuff to give themselves credibility. But if she really likes it, who cares? One more customer to put money in the pockets of musicians I like.
