International Flavours

October and November are bringing some great international Rockabilly acts to Perth. If you're not already in the know, here's the low down on who, what, and when...

Nekromantix - 2nd October @ Rosemount Hotel

Supported by local greats Blazin' Entrails, all reports are that this was an awesome gig. For the full blurb you can check out: http://www.rosemounthotel.com.au/events/201210/nekromantix

Nekromantix has been around for a while now and if you want the full history, read on here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nekromantix

Their latest album What Happen's in Hell, Stays in Hell  offers their usual (amusing & interesting) psychobilly mix of horror and monster themed tunes. With song titles like "Monsterbait" and "Bats In My Pants" you can draw your own conclusions! I personally enjoy "I Kissed a Ghoul" for a bit of fun... sorry Katy Perry...

Past favourites include Last Night I Saved an Angel [Demons Are a Girl's Best Friend], Monster Movie Fan [Brought Back to Life], and Trick or Treat [Return of the Loving Dead].

The Go Getters - 2nd November @ Deville's Pad

Supported by Perth favourites The Continentals, The Go Getters head out to spice up Dia del los Muertos (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day_of_the_Dead) at Deville's!

Swedish rockabilly trio The Go Getters have a classic, high energy rockabilly sound with a heavy infusion of blues. Releasing albums since the early '90s the band has an impressive biography, which is best read (and listened to) here: http://www.myspace.com/thegogetters.
For the latest information, of course, where would we be without Facebook:

If you can't make it along for Deville's on the Friday night, you also have the chance to catch The Go Getters @ The Mustang Bar on Thursday November 1st (http://members.optusnet.com.au/perthrocks/#Whats_On).

Amber Foxx - 9th November @ Deville's Pad

Supported by Perth's best guys with guns Johnny Law and the Pistol Packin' Daddies, Amber Foxx is set to bring her Southern California Rockabilly stylings to delight with harmonies and a bit of twang. Amber Foxx has played the Viva Las Vegas, Greenbay Rockin' 50s Fest, and Rockabilly Rave music festivals. Amber and her band currently have 2 CDs Restless and Wild and HiFi Party.
