If you are a die hard collector of Teddyboy and 80s Neo-Rockabilly records you probably have heard of Kees 'Spider' Dekker. He was in dutch bands Wild Cats, Rocky Road and Del Rios. And in White Lightning. It wasn't until November last year that I stumbled across the band's 'The End Of The Hunt' 7"EP on the German Hellskitchen label. It is in fact the label's first release, dating back to 1999. Let me tell you, this is one fine piece of vinyl. It is one of the best contemporary Rockabilly records I have listened to in a long time, and yes, 11 years ago still counts as contemporary to me. The dutch 4-piece plays straight 50s Rockabilly and opposite to many of the so-called authentic bands(whose albums are often available on CD only. Wow, how authentic is THAT!?) their record sounds good, and not by purpose cheap or trashy. Songwriter credits are missing so I can't say if they do any originals or covers only but I recognize the Marlon Grisham classic 'Ain't That A Dilly'. I couldn't find any info on the band on the net nor a MySpace site so you just have to trust me on this one. There also is no download link. I can't rip vinyl. Just order this nice 7"(that actually plays on 33) from your fave Rock'n'Roll mailorder, put in on the player, put the needle in the groove and enjoy!
