Now this is one fine Rockabilly 3-piece from Finland. The boys hail from the beautiful town of Turku, right on the West-coast and are around for over a decade already. A decade of Sun-Rockabilly(you know, don't you? That drumless Rockabilly sound the Memphis flash made so popular in 1954) and 50s Country. But live you will also hear them play the Neo-Rockabilly classic 'Live Fast, Die Young' from the Blue Cats. The Trio definitely knows what's good. Gigs of the band are rather rare it seems. In 2009 they just played one time, but in 2010 they are doing a few more gigs.
The bands' debut record was a 5-track CD called 'Beggin' For More' released 2003 and their first full album came out the following year on Jungle Records, entitled 'Dust & Diesel'. 2007/2008 Jungle released the bands' next record a 4-track EP, available on vinyl and CD, and their latest release so far is the 10"/CD 'Still Searchin' from last year.
I had the chance to catch them live at this years Ruuhijärvi Rockabilly Festival, Nastola, Finland(see picture above), and to me they were the winners of the night.
