Psychobilly?

Went to the “Dice Bar” on Benburb st. Dublin. last sunday nught.Actually i was dragged there by a friend who said she had been there before and that i would enjoy the “Rock and Roll” music!

When i got there i couldnt believe it… Full of Psychobillies and blasting out choons by “The Cramps”,“King Kurt”,“Meteors”,“Guana Batz”..etc. :astonished:

There is a veritable sub-culture of “Billy” still going on in Dublin. Admittedly its fairly small following, but i thought this had all but died away in the eighties. Where do all these people go during the day? Are they Vampires? I thought it was pretty cool tho seeing “youngsters” listening to music i was into nearly twenty years ago.
There is probably loads of these sub-culture dens all around the city, probably a closet Cure-Head club somewhere.

Heh.

I thought The Cramps were Punkabilly. At least that’s what we were calling them back in the 80s.

BTW, thanks. Now when I go home I’m gonna have to break out some Cramps (Goo Goo Muck is stuck in my head…BAH) and listen.

Yup whoo,… Can your pussy do the dog?

The term “psychobilly” was first coined during punk’s heyday in ‘77, when the Cramps’ lead singer Lux Interior invented the word to describe his band’s sound.
