Slim Jim Phantom - Superstar Rockabilly Icon and Stray Cat skinsman and Neal X - Guitarist of million-selling, futuristic glam-rock potentates Sigue Sigue Sputnik have joined with hot slappin’ Double Bass supremo Phil Bloomberg from The Polecats to bring you STARCAT.
Like the screech of a Cadillac tearing out of nowhere STARCAT are the forever marriage of the primitive and sophisticated that is rock 'n’ roll. a high octane mix of their own global hits, rock 'n' roll classics and a couple of wild card surprises.
STARCAT reinvent the shimmer and the throb. the tingle of illicit pleasure awakened by the sin-drenched echo of '50s guitars, the pounding tribal beat of 80's teenage deliquents and rock 'n' rolled the whole thing into a high energy 21st Century Rock ’n’ Roll extravaganza...
Slim Jim Phantom has secured his place as a true rock-n-roll icon. As the legendary drummer for the Stray Cats, Phantom, alongside band mates Brian Setzer and Lee Rocker, spearheaded the neo-rockabilly movement of the early 80s. Over 40 years and millions of record sales later and Slim Jim Phantom continues to inspire and excite audiences worldwide. With a sound, style and image that remain as fresh today as they ever were, Phantom has cemented his place among rock royalty.
