Thank God for Rockabilly and it's fans. We have more Rockabilly
people at our shows than Surf people. Infact, a majority of the
shows we play are for Rockabilly type events. On top of that all
the Rockabilly people in the city of Chicago have been a BIG support
to us, and really nice as well. I honestly think they like Surf
because it's really similar to Rockabilly. One of the reasons we've
gone off in the Cardigan/Vintage Look/Sound direction is that is
what the Rockabillies around here really dig.
Rockabilly guitar is where I started off in highschool.
