Horrorpops

I tell you what, it's pretty hard being a ska fan in Brisbane. Not much comes our way. But as a ska fan, I feel such sympathy for those psychobilly fans, who hardly get anything!

What's psychobilly? Well, I'm glad you asked. Imagine if the rock and roll of the 1960's, infused with country and played with basses decided to sing about subject matter best suited to a horror movie. That's basically psychobilly.

The Horrorpops formed in the wake of one of the most classic psychobilly bands, Nekromantix. And they feature one of the most memorable people in psychobilly: Patricia Day.


I mean look at her, she's like the poster girl of all things alternative. So much so that she sued Mattel for unauthorised use of her likeness for a rockabilly Barbie doll.

The Horrorpops released their album Kiss Kiss Kill Kill in 2008, but this tour finally sees them bringing it down under on the aptly titled Kiss Kiss Kill Kill tour... 3 years late. But late is better than never and you can catch them at the HiFi on April 23. 18+
