The Stray Cats hit big time with a weird niche. While others were going to discos and still others were reacting by inventing punk, the Stray Cats returned us to 50’s rockabilly with a new energy for it that hadn’t been seen in decades.
Brian Setzer is a great guitarist, and the stripped down, simple setup of guitar, bass, and drum was all they needed. Sure, everyone knows the hits, like Rock This Town, but this show allows us to see them more fully. I’m glad to see Runaway Boys and Rumble in Brighton on the set list.
WCS Note: we may be experimenting with a weekend music playlist via Spotify in the near future, as it allows for an embedded playlist of pre-selected songs. As always, if you’d like to take the reigns for choosing shows, just let me know.
