Rockabilly and Surf Music

Eric Hutchinson (ehutch247) - 20 Feb 2005 17:33:11

For the past two nights I went and saw two Rockabilly shows (Dusty
45's/S.c.o.t.s. & Seattle Psychobilly Brawl). Both nights the bands
played a surf song or two, whether their own creation or covers. I'm
surprised at how much of a connection there is between them and I was
curious why that is. I see that several people on this list also
have mentioned interests in it. correct me if i'm wrong but I don't
recall a lot of rockabilly "roots" bands, like chuck berry doing a
whole lot of reverb drenched tremolo picking. So why not the surf,
new wave connection or the surf/metallica collaboration? Thoughts?
