Meteors were OK...if you liked that sort of thing... 
I beleve that two YFers are on the cover of "Stomping at the Klub Foot " or similar.
Just why did the Polecats cover "John, I'm only dancing"?
Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

...more. Jungle Mice were sort/kind of psychobilly. Lyrics like "down in the graveyard looking for love". Also written by as current YFer. I kid you not.

Interesting. Which two YFers? And which volume of "Stomping at the Klub Foot"?
That's the first three. Did you know you can buy those albums on iTunes?!!

The Cramps were the closest I came to liking Psychobilly and even they I only thought were OK. I never quite "got it".

It was big over here in Malbin for a while. Possibly it still is.

The Cramps were , without doubt, the best Cramps style band ever. I think.

It's hard to fault that logic!
I must admit to only really having a passing interest in psychobilly myself. I just thought it was a fun topic.
I do have a soft spot for King Kurt though. In a musical genre populated mostly by clowns they still managed to stand out as a bunch of clowns. The baked beans, the circle of cider, great fun.
A great NZ band from the late 1980's was the Plymouth Furies. They used to play with Skapa quite a bit.

Great party band. Regularly played to big crowds in Wellington and around the country at their peak, when they really were "New Zealand's only ska band". Played a lot of covers but had some good originals too.
