Awesome.

What band is this?

[Vintagedude]

thanks bud- the band is "Sons of Mod" based in England actually! But it just had that badass sound that set the tone- the leader is Andrew and his band can be found on myspace- I think they sell CDs too- great blues/psychedelic/garage and mod sound- all rolled into one.

What's the name of the song playing? Awesome video, Thanks for sharing!

[Vintagedude]

Hi- thanks for your interest. The name of the song is 'Electric Silverfish' by a group from England called the Sons of Mod. You can listen to them on myspace. I thought it really had that right attitude I was looking for. The musician was really happy that I asked to use his song too. There is a ton of great music on myspace and the musicians are so approachable- its cool. Well, thanks again-

thanks for the interest- Ill be wrapping shooting (finally) this weekend, and editing has been, and will continue into July- but Im hoping it will make it to the big screen of a few film festivals later this summer, or at least a limited theater run by the end of the year. Otherwise, look for it on DVD sometime next year. Thanks again for the interest-

I've been looking for vids like this for years. Drag racing and rock-a-billy go together perfect.
