Formed in early 93 with the aim to capture the essence of real raw Rockabilly Jesse James & The Outlaws soon to build a strong following in the UK, & Europe due to there wild shows and blistering set. Some highlights of the bands career included Londons 1st Rockabilly Rave all-nighter at Kings Cross, The 1st Rockabilly Rave weekender, both for Jerry Chatabox, numerous gigs for Tom Ingram includuing Hemsby and The Bottomline, London, frequent trips over to Europe and also backed Sonny Burgess complete with Piano and Trumpet for that authentic Sun Sound.
Thanks to Top DJ Cosmic Keith and Clarkie's interest in the band, they provided them with some unreleased Rockabilly gems which the band incorporated into there set and recording sessions.
Following and appearance on Raucous' Riverside Rockabillies series of compilations,the much anticipated Vinyl 10 inch arrived in 97 ( with sleeve notes written by none other than Raging Sea legend Gene Maltais) recorded at Chris Cummings' Riverside Studio on Vintage valve equipment. Things were looking good for these boys with interest from major independent labels, but sadly the band split before a deal was struck.
The final gig was in Norwich around September 97 for DJ Skinny Jim. Fast forward to Notts Americana 2008 and all 4 band members were in attendance in the same room for the first time in 11 years. After alot of interest from various parties it was decided to launch this myspace to make available some unreleased tracks and photos so keep checking this page or you may miss out on something special!!!! Now due to promotors interest they will be playing a few choice gigs as and when......
