That's right, but it's still so cool. I just got married 3 years ago and i gave the DJ a CD i made with this and levi dexter on it, what a blast. Check out Phantom,Rocker and Slick, Men without shame
It is what it is. Don't call your mag "Rockabilly" if you're going to put Mike Ness on the cover! Why don't you guys add Obama while your at it ?!?!?!?
There rockabilly element is still there, but remember every revival band takes from their own time period and their time was the 80's therefore the new wavish sound. Listen to the Stray Cats "Elvis on Velvet" or The Quakes (which I know is not really considered rockabilly but they have alot of songs that mix the new wave element with rockabilly).
Yes,you are correct.Gail,in the back was the one I meant.After all these years Im bad with names.And yes I new that was Maryanne.I went to their wedding.God,to think that was 25 years ago.We need a reunion.Wander what they are doing now.!Hey,,,Thanks for the response.
I hadn't seen this video for many years until I got the footage and posted this, but the image of the blonde girl with the long curly hair at 2:31 and 3:05 has been in my head for about 24 years. Only a few seconds but what a cutie she was. This is classic stuff. The Rockats were great.
They were the best!wish they would come back to NYC and jam at Webster Hall aka The Ritz for old time sake.And the sexy blonde,that was Gina and she was Smuttys women.
Slight correction: The blonde on the right of the screen is MaryAnne, Barry's ex-wife. The blonde at the back is Gail Higgins, Smutty's ex-wife and former Heartbreakers road manager. Between them is Mimi, Gail's younger sister or cousin (I forget). She headed the fan club.
crazy good!!!

has anyone noticed that most of the rockabilly revival bands from the 80s have a cat on their name? Stray cats, Polecats, and Rockats?

Thanks for the identification. It looks like it's Gail Higgins who's image was in my head all those years. Amazing what a few seconds can do.
