Next Big Gig:


Friday October 10 -

Custom Rockabilly #12

The Creepers (Syd),
West Texas Crude,
Paulie & His Crazy Rhythm Boys

Coming up on Friday October 10 is the 12th Custom Rockabilly night at the Troubadour.

Big news is The Creepers from Sydney will be storming into Brisbane for a once only performance. The Creepers formed in 1999 and have released three cds – All Soled Out – Monkey Wrench and their latest ‘Quiff Hanger’. The upcoming gig at the Troubadour will be their only Brisbane date on this tour.

Be sure to get to the show early, as opening up will be Paulie & His Crazy Rhythm Boys. This outfit is lead by Paulie, who you would know as slap bass player for The Atomic Rockers and The Tailspinners. Here Paulie has ditched the fat lady and has taken centre stage on vocals and rhythm guitar. The Crazy Rhythm Boys are heavily influenced by the modern European rockabilly sound, which is a cool change from the usual American inclination of many bands of today. Following the Crazy Rhythm Boys will be local favourites West Texas Crude, so bring along your boppin’ shoes, ‘cause tonight you’re gonna bop away all your blues.

This night will also be the first chance for fans and friends to welcome home bass player Jon Flynn, who has been on tour with Deke Dickerson across the USA for the past five weeks. I’m sure Jon will have some cool stories to tell.
