Demented Are Go are not gone anymore. The new line-up consists of Sparky(vocals), Grisha(bass), Holger(guitar) and Chris Damage(drums). Holger is, like Grisha, from the Pitmen and played a couple of DAG shows already in late summer and autumn. Chris Damage is, of course, the ex-DAG drummer that replaced Ant once already and now he does so again. Today the band plays a Halloween show in London with guest-guitarist Lex Luther.
Sparky's Rotterdam band '69 Demented' has a My Space site now and the first songs have been recorded, just not published yet. Gigging is planed to start early 2011.
http://www.myspace.com/69dementedThe Mad Dog Cole band now are Phil Nowak from the Lucky Devils on guitar, Mark Palmer on bass(Radiacs and many other bands) and original Psychobilly-Krewmen drummer Dominic Parr on, well, drums. Just when the new album 'Son Of Satan' will see the light of day remains a mystery. A promo-video put on You Tube by Mag Dog Cole was taken down after a short time. If negative comments about the sound/recording of the new album made on a popular Psychobilly forum were the reason is unclear. Rumours are that even the record company refused to publish the album the way it was.
You want Old-School Psychobilly with BILLY written in capitol letters? Check out the Magnetix from Russia, the new band from Stressor guitar player Taras. But now things get a bit confusing. The recordings you hear on that site are new Stressor recordings. But as Taras left the band some months ago and he wrote these songs he took them with him. So what you hear is actually Stressor, not Magnetix. I think...Anyway, nice old Batmobile style!
http://www.myspace.com/psychobillymagnetixThe Sharks are back together, recording a new album, right now as I'm typing this. Gigs are very unlikely to happen as Alan Wilson keeps on repeating for years that he is not interested in playing life again. Fair enough. I just hope this album will have more 'Take A Razor' than 'I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For' moments. I mean, come on, fuckin U2?!
Scum Rats guitar-player Serge Baxley's Neo-Rockabilly band '56 Alley Chaps' has just released their debut CD 'Ticket To The End' on Crazy Love Records. The band started already in 2002 but obviously was not in a hurry to put a record out, like many other bands. Check out the result here: Alley Chaps
