biographical info
The DEADCATS -coined 'Psychobilly' by the press are Canada's premier entry into the world of psychobilly-voodoobilly alongside such bands as the Cramps, Reverend Horton Heat, and the Meteors.
The band has been prowling up and down the West Coast in their present form since 1994 (although the 'original' Deadcats' started in Vancouver back in 1984). The current band features members from such bands as House of Commons, Bill of Rights (punk), Hard Rock Miners (hillbilly), and the Rocky Craig Band (50's rockabilly) .
The DEADCATS just completed a succesful U.S. Westcoast tour at the end of 1999, culminating with a wild show at L.A.'s famed Bowlarama where they 'stole the show' from 4 other prominent bands. The band has just signed to Japan's Revel Yell Records, and have just been picked up by 3 or 4 international labels for compilation CDs.
