#psychobilly is een afgeleide muziekvorm van #rockabilly en wordt gezien als een mix van #horrorpunk en #rockabilly.

De Engelse band #TheMeteors wordt gezien als grondlegger van de muziekstijl. Sinds begin jaren #80s is deze band actief. Kort daarna volgden bands als #thesharks en #batmobile volgens velen een van de succesvolste bands in het genre. De Londense club "Klub Foot" wordt gezien als de bakermat van #psychobilly.

Together with #Restless, the #BlueCats are THE British Neo-#Rockabilly legends since the very early 1980's.

I still love the Blue Cats first two albums, "Fight Back" (1982) and "The Tunnel" (1992).

And they are still active. These days together with #SteveWhitehouse (formerly known as the world's fastest double bass player with #TheSharks and #Frenzy).

They played last week at the "#Bedlam #Psychobilly Breakout" in Northampton.

New single of the #TestPilots. Wonderfully anachronistic #Psychobilly.

Well, maybe except the (nevertheless brilliant) guitar solo ;-)

Reminds me of #Frenzy and #TheSharks.
