Great Documentry! The Peacock's Are Brilliant. They Are The Missing Link Between Punk & Rock-A-Billy! (Stiff Little Fingers Meet The Meteors). The Best Live Band I've Seen In Years, & To Top It All, They Are Fantastic People. I've Had The Pleasure Of Seeing Them Play In Their Home Town, & Also Doing Gigs With Them Abroad & In The UK. LONG LIVE THE PEACOCKS!
The greatest thing about psychobilly is that there were no guidelines. Unfortunately the hellcat records bands have came along and told the psychobilly ignorant that horror punk with an upright bass is psychobilly.
If you dig hippiestuff and by the way it was a hype for a season is now long gone and forgotten as it deserves. Psychobilly is going on for aout 25 years and it does not stop.
I think most people lump all alternitive forms of music under the punk Banner. Most people , if you say the word "punk" , think of "Hardcore" bands , but 500 million years ago anything under ground was first called "punk and then sub-grouped into other catigories. But I do agree , I love this sound and hope it will forever live on. there are still alot od cool shit to be written and played in this genre. I have heard it is making a resurgence which I hope it is true.
the Cramps called themselves gothabilly and they used psychobilly on one of their fliers for one of their first shows but they said they`re not psychobilly.
What's funny is I see mention of Tiger Army when it comes to American psychobilly,especially the west coast.I can name plenty of bands that were around before Tiger Army that I listened to when i got into Psychobilly.
Psychobilly will never die, just a whole lot of fights! Hah! Damn, I'm so clever. Seriously though, if they want to do a Psychobilly documentary, all they need to do is just a documentary of the Meteors.
Meteors first. Demented Are Go second. Frenzy were great live at The Klub Foot too. After that maybe Coffin Nails for the wrecking, stomping, laying on your back mayhem. But all said, OTMAPP
they were mentioned, you probably couldn't understand the scottish accent. demented's bassist was asked how he got into psychobilly and he said by "watching cramps on tele"... i realize now that i am responding to a 5 year old comment.... it's still one of the last ones, lol.
Deadbolt,TR6,Voodoo Swing,Cosmic Voodoo,Satan's Teardrops,7 Shot Screamers,Kings of Nuthin,Three Bad Jacks,Rocketz,Hooligans, Hi Fi & The Roadburners,Quakes,Wages of Sin, Tombstone Brawlers,Mysterious Men in Black,Car Bomb Inc,Blue Balls Deluxe,Blazing Haley,Speed Crazy,Slick Pelt,Reach Around Rodeo Clowns,Lee Rocker,68 Comeback Special, Stray Cats,Rockats,The Slanderin,Dragstrip Demons,Pagan Dead.All good bands from the US
actually there are different sounding punk bands the rezillos sound different than the damned and the damned sound different than siouxsie and the banshees and the cramps even called themselves a punk band at first
Its stupid to hate a band because they don't fit a specific genre. Tiger Army is influenced by psychobilly and even though they are not technically a psychobilly band, they are a good band and that's what matters. I love psychobilly, but some of you people need to broaden your musically horizons a bit.
people think this is punk? D: usually punk bands have a pissed off emotion in most of their songs.thats what punk is about right. psychobilly have this scaryy erriieee uniqueness sound to it but its exciting to enjoy the music. usually theres no uniqueness in punk music most of the time.Sorry to say that but its logically true. and oh right..Punk typically dont have an upright bassist. and psychobilly should not have a regular bassist in a band. stereotypically speaking.
Here's my list of American bands that are better than Tiger Army and some that were out before:Quakes,Hellbillys,Hellbound Hayride,Hayride To Hell,Flame Trick Subs,Calavera,Terror Train,Los Gatos Locos, The Spectres,Lonesome Kings,Calavera,Three Blue Teardrops,R.H.H,Barnyard Ballers,
The Meteors have some kick ass tunes, but a lot of "duds" n boring tracks. As far as "OTMAPP", fuck that shit...."surfing on the planet zorch"? Alot of surf music and covers, some like Creedence Clearwater....Not Psychobilly...neither is the fact 90% of their cool recordings don't have upright slap bass but electric bass.
So you are not even able to write the name of your favorite genre? Or do you mean metals sucks. So you are not even able to express yourself clearly. What a tragedy! And I am sure no one is going to suck any part of your body lonely boy.
I made this film in Uni 10 years ago!
well sir for this i must say well done mate
Great Documentry!
The Peacock's Are Brilliant.
They Are The Missing Link Between Punk & Rock-A-Billy!
(Stiff Little Fingers Meet The Meteors).
The Best Live Band I've Seen In Years, & To Top It All, They Are Fantastic People.
I've Had The Pleasure Of Seeing Them Play In Their Home Town, & Also Doing Gigs With Them Abroad & In The UK.
LONG LIVE THE PEACOCKS!
The song @ the start is Blue sunshine from the album teenagers from outta space by the pioneers of psychobilly-the meteors
The greatest thing about psychobilly is that there were no guidelines. Unfortunately the hellcat records bands have came along and told the psychobilly ignorant that horror punk with an upright bass is psychobilly.
Killer doc! Can't wait to read kim nekromans psychobilly bible
@dirtyjew1974
it was popular with british rockers in the 50s - 70s because it is a symbol of rebellion and it pisses off hppies
Right! Mad Sin really kicks ass!
Nice one guys! Is there some more to come then???
Cheers, Mad Man - Coffin Nails!!!
Thanks a lot mate. Pleased to see that you are here as well.
"Blue Sunshine" by the Meteors!
And by the way this was asked and answered before in these comments. ;-)
I got to meet strangy, he's a really cool guy. He was staying at the same hotel as i was.
If you dig hippiestuff and by the way it was a hype for a season is now long gone and forgotten as it deserves.
Psychobilly is going on for aout 25 years and it does not stop.
psychobilly will NEVER DIE.
Hab gestern sogar den Beweis gesehen. Mein Freund hat irgendwo n alten Konzertmitschnitt rausgekramt. Eindeutig Strangy. ;)
must have been an amazing show
the exposure psychobilly needs is towards music, not the sceners

Psycho Billy is a music fashion for hyperactive toddlers aged between 14 and 50 , great for burning off a lot of aggression ,energy General daftness.
Song from the meteors, pictures of demented... oh yeah....
Is it weird that I can smell this video?
whats the first song called???? i love it!!
You're damn right mate, maybe I can try something like that in Speyer.
thats a typo
THANK YOU :)
the Cramps called themselves gothabilly and they used psychobilly on one of their fliers for one of their first shows but they said they`re not psychobilly.
if you want to hear the band koma katz who feature in this video go to www.myspace.com/komakatz
I don't need to call me 77. I was in it when Punk happend in 77. Where were you?
Why sohould anybody mention them in this documentary? Funny enough that stills of one of their clips are shown.
What's funny is I see mention of Tiger Army when it comes to American psychobilly,especially the west coast.I can name plenty of bands that were around before Tiger Army that I listened to when i got into Psychobilly.
PSYCHOBILLY LIVES THE FUCK ON!
I can't help but consider the terms "psychobilly" and "commercially viable" to be mutually exclusive.
Demented are Go, and Batmobile are the real kings of psychobilly!
Exfuckingzactly!
whered you hear that from ive always read and been told they called themselves psychobilly and that they created it even in interviews
a gooood fucking point there..
Psychobilly will never die, just a whole lot of fights! Hah! Damn, I'm so clever. Seriously though, if they want to do a Psychobilly documentary, all they need to do is just a documentary of the Meteors.
No as you mention it i have, having done 9 years in the British Army, now pull up a sand bag and listen.
best psychobilly band in my opinion
yes sir
So fuckin true I always asked me the same question!
"Blue Sunshine" by the Meteors
from what band is that video clip at 1:26 ?
is charlie greaser from NSW?im in vic
Doch war er, ich hab nachgefragt. Er hat kurz bei Mad Sin gespielt, nachdem Holly ausgestiegen is.
blue sunshine blueeeee
whats the name of that song there playing?
You're welcome!
wo haste denn das gehört? der war doch nie bei mad sin ...
The Meteors Are Pure Psychobilly, they're the most expansive. Those bands you mentioned fall way short of Meteors.
Meteors first. Demented Are Go second. Frenzy were great live at The Klub Foot too. After that maybe Coffin Nails for the wrecking, stomping, laying on your back mayhem. But all said, OTMAPP
Do I understand you text right? Strangy, the former member of Mad Sin and Demented? Wow...
long live psychobilly
they were mentioned, you probably couldn't understand the scottish accent. demented's bassist was asked how he got into psychobilly and he said by "watching cramps on tele"...
i realize now that i am responding to a 5 year old comment.... it's still one of the last ones, lol.
Cheetah Chrome h
That's my husband. My father in law was a teddy boy so he grew up around rock n roll his whole life.
Nekrman's bible is anounced for a very long time, let's see when or if ever! ;-)

druschba didn't make it, I did! check my profile
it could be wrong i`m not sure now.
They're neither Psychobilly nor punkabilly. ;) They say that themselves.
Dann zitiere ich dich gerne: "Man lernt eben nie aus." ... wahrscheinlich isser kurzfristig eingestiegen
roggn roll!
@bearkid4u
alternative will always be the same way inclined.. get it..??do u fookin get.it..??

@sharktoothshane i agree 100%
people think in black spots.
people think in white spots.
can people get along and think in the gray spots?
punk and psychobilly is both great.
i agree majority of metal blows
sabbath and iorn maiden are ok
It is not my business whether it is your style or not but is definitely NOT a mixture of Punk, goth and metali (whatever metali is).
Ich wusste dit halt nich. Also das mit Mad Sin. Man lernt eben nie aus.
Its stupid to hate a band because they don't fit a specific genre. Tiger Army is influenced by psychobilly and even though they are not technically a psychobilly band, they are a good band and that's what matters.

Sii.
people think this is punk?

So what?

No... The Meteors aren't true psychobilly. Batmobile, Guana Bats, and Torment are.
Wie? Was wundert Dich daran?
The Meteors have some kick ass tunes, but a lot of "duds" n boring tracks. As far as "OTMAPP", fuck that shit...."surfing on the planet zorch"? Alot of surf music and covers, some like Creedence Clearwater....Not Psychobilly...neither is the fact 90% of their cool recordings don't have upright slap bass but electric bass.
Geo S OTMAPP!!!! Wrecking crew ..... kattle 666......
It was a stupid comment made by Maafa.
i really hate the peacocks. haha.

You're all wrong. LONG LIVE DRUM AND BASS!
So you are not even able to write the name of your favorite genre? Or do you mean metals sucks. So you are not even able to express yourself clearly. What a tragedy!
And I am sure no one is going to suck any part of your body lonely boy.
terrible, very sad...
