Stray Cats Head To Australia

By Tim Cashmere
Thu, 17 Jul 2008 06:39:37 +1000

The undisputed Kings of the much loved rockabilly scene The Stray Cats, are heading to Australia as part of their “Farewell” tour.

Brian Setzer, Slim Jim Phantom and Lee Rocker are back on stage together for the last time, currently stompin’ across Europe before heading to Australia to farewell their devoted fans down under.

After recent tours from both Slim Jim Phantom and Lee Rocker, the Australian fans are hungry for this rock ‘n’ roll vs. jazz combo that has been going for thirty years and their lauded live shows are produced from just a bass drum, snare drum, a couple of cymbals a double bass and Setzer’s infamous semi-hollow Gretsch.

Setzer’s style would be recognised by the younger fans in modern day artists like Chris Cheney from The Living End or even Green Day’s Billy Joe.

You can see the Stray Cats at:

FEBRUARY - ‘09
15 - Arts Centre, Fremantle, WA
17 - Thebarton Theatre, Adelaide, SA
19 - The Forum, Melbourne, VIC
23 - Enmore Theatre, Sydney, NSW
26 - The Tivoli, Brisbane

Tickets are on sale Wednesday July 30.
