Anyone who has played music or been in a band knows that sounds and styles are developed over time, with a ton of consideration and effort. If a band could just jump on a band wagon like that and nail it 5 minutes before a set that would be impressive in it's own right. But that doesn't pass the sniff test, it's obviously bullshit. Love you guys thanks for setting the bar for psychobilly to the US
Top songs on my playlist: 1* one of a kind 2*stick to your guns 3* I gotta go 4*die to young 5*animals(no way a band could play this song these days and expect people to behave) 6*I don't come from nowhere 7"send me an angel 8*no face 9*tearing up my world 10*what will they say about me? I could list at least 10 more but you get the point😂
Comment #28: You guys are badass. In 1986 I was listening to Motorhead, Anti Nowhere League, Sex Pistols, Clash, Vibrators, Stiff Little Fingers etc. I did see Stray Cats in "78 or "79 when they were musical guest on Saturday Night Live and I was confused and moved at the same time. I was 10 years old. Interest in Rockabilly and Psychobilly has always had a place in my heart since I first saw the Stray Cats. As a player late in life, I am still discovering root bands like the Quakes. I really appreciate this video and your contribution to the scene.
Ta Paul! You're true to yourself and true to your fans - that's why The Quakes will always remain up there with The Clash and The Damned as my all-time favorite bands. Hopefully, I'll make it out to see you someday.
Favorite songs off the first set where did it go and show me. Honestly I don't understand why you guys weren't busting the charts with this stuff. So much raw energy that even the punk bands of that day didn't have. I mean I was listening to misfits and dead Kennedy but damn you guys surpass that on so many levels. To be honest Batmobile brought me to this band. I just don't understand why any song from voice of America or Quiff Rock didn't make the radio. I'm sure it's more because being raised in south. Carolina to be exact....I get down with this band more than any other non stop....where did it go?
ive seen the quakes about 4 times, and ALWAYS a great show!!! I love Paul's lyrics, they're no BS. I literally know how to play all the songs on my upright... lol
Absolutely hardcore The stray cats my arse 😂😂😂😂🇬🇧🍀👍

Hi Paul! We have met maybe 2001 or -02, you came visit Päivi`s ex-boyfriend apartment Tikkurila, Vantaa, Finland. We found your channel now, and check your early day document of Quakes, and we want to see more, why only 86-87? Tero started a band and one reason because Quakes.😊
Don't understand why the appologizes for sound, clothes, etc? The shit was real as shit can get. We've all been there, and it all was fine with us. Who gave a fuck what anybody thought?. That was the purpose. Punk, rockabilly, psychobilly, ska etc. It's all fantastic. Taught my son the guitar chords to I Don't Come From Nowhere when he was into Blink 182 and those types of bands. He got it.🤙

A lot of early psychobilly and neo rockabilly had cross over. Cool video. Thanks for the early clips
The Quakes. Great stuff. 11:08 is that in Mannheim ? I think that´s me on the left side in the back. Right side could be Guy. That was ´87 then.

Please more docs, Paul!
Paul you have a very good voice as a narrator.
That story sounded very far fetched when they talked about the Quakes. You guys kick ass. 🤘🇺🇸
