THE BOOZE BOMBS
Their love for early 50's Rock 'n' Roll and Rockabilly brought WILD! Records recording artists The Booze Bombs together in 2006. They are the hottest rockabilly band in the Black Forest region as well as Southern Germany. They really heat up things when they perform their rip roaring Rock 'n' Roll and wild authentic rockabilly sound.
Lucky Steve (guitar/vocals), Frank Martinez (upright bass) and Rockin´Bende(drums) are complete with the charismatic Italian leadsinger Annie Leopardo. Her powerfull voice will just about blow anyone away. Annie’s vocals reminds one of Rockabilly Queens like Patsy Cline and Wanda Jackson. She's a must see for sure. These rockin’ Germans have toured all over the world and have played all the big Rockabilly festivals including Viva Las Vegas several times.

THE FAMOUS
forge a sound that combines the transcendent roar of punk with the brutal honesty and black wit of traditional country. Mix that with the exhaust fumes of a ’65 Ford Galaxie — the four-wheeled talisman that led to the formation of the band when Victor Barclay (lead guitar, vocals) spotted Laurence Scott (lead vocals, acoustic guitar) and his ride outside a Bay Area laundromat and remarked that he owned the very same car — and you get an idea of what the Famous is all about. To put it another way: take the ‘50s-era country of Hank Williams, Sr. and filter it through ‘70s punk rock, ‘80s psychobilly, and ‘90s post-punk and you’ll find yourself staring eye-to-eye with the Bay Area’s own “Pixies in a cowboy hat.”

EMERY VILLAINS
formed in 2019. Started by Scott Holderby (lead vocals and guitar) with Rhoda Jean Steen (vocals and guitar). The Carolina Drifters from the 50's, featuring Rhoda and her brothers Paul and Clarence were the backup band for the Black Jack Wayne Show on channel 2, backing Johnny Cash, Buck Owens and others. Rhoda Jean Steen's presence serves as a direct link to the roots of rockabilly and the Carolina Drifters' contributions to the genre. Her participation with Emery Villains is a beautiful blend of past and present, ensuring the music's legacy continues.
Scott looked over to his guitar player Danny White (vocals and lead guitar) from Mordred to do the finger picking. Scott then turned to a high school friend, Hank Alva (vocals and upright bass) to round out the groove of the tunes.
That's absolutely right! Emery Villains is a great example of a modern band keeping the rockabilly sound alive and fresh for a new generation of fans. They're part of a newer wave of rockabilly bands that are blending traditional sounds with modern energy and style.
Bands like Emery Villains, and others like Brian Setzer, Reverend Horton Heat, and Big Sandy and His Fly-Rite Boys, are all helping to carry the torch for rockabilly music, while also pushing the genre forward.
