German slap-bass players are popular lately. After Grischa(Demented Are Go) and Simon(Meteors) the next one to slap the ole doghouse for a UK Psychobilly band is Puck(Boozehounds/Sewer Rats) who is joining Mad Dog Cole. Old bassman Choppy will leave the band after he has played 3 more Europe shows. Already gone is old MDC drummer Lee Barnett who got replaced by original (Psychobilly) Krewmen Dominic Parr. It's good to see him back from retirement as his style was a main part of the distinctive Krewmen sound we all like so much.
But that's not all. Together with fellow German Mad Man Markus(Astro Zombies) Puck forms the rhythm section of The Killer Trio, a brand new outfit lead by Jim Jeffries(Rancho Deluxe, Mad Dog Cole and a million other bands and projects). The band is currently recording a bunch of songs Jim wrote, gigs are not announced yet. On their MySpace site they put 2 video clips so people can get an idea about the band. According to Puck the songs are a mix of Punkabilly, Psychobilly and dark Rockabilly and their 'In The Pines' cover(video on the site) the song that has the biggest Rockabilly influence. As it doesn't sound Rockabilly at all to me I'm curious to hear the other stuff.
