"Lee Rocker, the double bassist for the American rockabilly band The Stray Cats, uses EMG SW4s in his upright basses. He's known for making his upright double bass appear lightweight while he spins, throws it around, and stands on it during his high-energy concerts. " apparently according to google. All I know is that is sounds amazing.
It's about a wild night on Brighton Beach that includes a gang fight. --- There's a rumble in Brighton tonight Ringside seats for the neighborhood fight, There ain't a Godddamn thing that the cops can do, There's a rumble in Brighton tonight.
More likely a street fight than a boxing match. Some southern coastal towns in the UK were notorious for rival gang fights back in the day - a bit like the Jets and the Sharks in "West Side Story". In the 60's it was the "Mods" v the "Rockers" ...
Love this but he just had to go with a video of the Cats as old men past their prime When there are absolute 🔥 live videos of them as Young men at the height of their powers ripping the 💩 out of Rumble in Brighton tonight And cmon Brad a Cello and a Boxing match??? No it’s a stand up bass and the rumble is a gang street fight Good lord man the lyrics are clear as day even naming the street gangs involved in the rumble What are the 1950’s five thousand years ago???
No, it's not a fusion of genres. It's rockabilly, which is one of the earliest versions of rock and roll, popularized, by Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, and others from the mid-to-late 1950s. You need to check out The Cramps.
Legends of rockabilly ❤
