jeez the rockers and bluesers are comin out of the woodwork.....whats happening in the rockabilly scene in sydney i have been out of sydney for a lot of years now......man oh man when i was there,the Wildcat Tamers and the baylor brothers (not really Rockabilly more western swing) were the go
and the foreday riders and foreign lee and the legionaires were the go in the blues scene

good memories

 

[LESStar58]

I don't mind a little bit of Gene and Eddie or some Wanda jackson but I'm mainly into psychobilly and neo-swing.....

 

[hillbillyjazzer1954]

sorry lesstar i have been off the net for a few days

pschycobilly and neo swing is also great stuff.......Brian Setzer is an awesome swinger/rocker. The Squirrel nut zippers are also a great band

mate there was a seris of albums a lot of years ago called Live at the Club au go go which was a london pschycobilly club if you can get them on CD they are well worth it

there was also a seris of albums called blood on the cats....again highly recommended for some punkabilly

:lol: and you HATE Hendrix too :lol:

yeah dude i dig the blues

Robert Johnson is my favourite. But i love them all really ... Albert Collins, Hendrix, Muddy, BB, early ZZ top, John Lee Hooker, etc etc. Name one bad blues song ? No such thing. Robert Johnson was linked to Devil Worship ... probably because he was so f**king good at his trade.

Rockabilly ... no i cant say i like it. Too much 50's sh*t for me

Thanks hillbillyjazzer1954, shall do! :thumn

 

[Twizzle]

love it (Rockabilly)

Chris Cheney is a big Rockabily fan and you can tell by Living Ends latest CD, there are two songs with a very strong Rockabilly feel about them. He also like the look, hence the semi acoustic and double bass that they play.

Now lets talk Blues, a term that get bandied around too much.

Artists like John Mayal who played alot with Clapton in his younger days had a band called Blues Explosion, never had a drummer, just guitars and keyboard, download any old John Mayal stuff if you want pure blues that is commercially available.

If you ever get a chance to see Kevin Borich live, do it. Saw him at Byron Bay pub a few years back and thats all he plays, and he is damn good.

If you have Austar or Fox, they have about 50 Audio channels, or Radio Channels. One of them is just Blues, and its Blues mainly from the deep south and from the 30s to about the 60s. Most of the music is from the original roots of Blues, not the stuff they refer to as Blues nowdays.

If you are a fan, its an addictive channell.

great station Twizzle

mate i saw the living end in sydney a lot of years ago before they made it they were playing more straight up and down rockabilly with a punk edge,great band
