Anyone know of any great "spook rock/rockabilly/psychobilly" bands?

(such as The Cramps, Roky Erickson, Thee Cormans, The Damned)

I'm on the hunt considering it's nearly Halloween.

Don't forget Screaming Lord Sutch!

Maybe too obvious but The Mummies.

[Dennis Guthrie]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Dave Vanian, of The Damned was a fan of Screaming Lord Sutch.

I was gonna post a vid of The Fang by Nervous Norvus... and then I stumbled on this!

[Peter Brat von Staben]

Yeah, the Zombeatles E.P is very cool... Dick Dale (of Kamikaze etc fame) gave me a copy... my favourite is the take on 'Rain', called of course 'Brains'... ha ha!

Also...

"The Go Go Haunters" from Queensland, Australia are wild! We play them regularly on our shows on 3D Radio here in Adelaide.... and they've played down here in South Australia a few times to ecstatic response... they've got a couple of singles/E.P.'s (plus groovy T-shirts!) and these are available from their site... check 'em out!

Good ol' Aussie weirdness!!!

Thanks! These are great! Keep em' coming!

'Spook Rock' wise check out the 3D-Invisibles and Forbidden Dimension. It doesn't get any better. Tons of Psychobilly bands sing bout Horror stuff but the best imo are 80s Meteors and Demented Are Go(esp. the first 2 albums 'In Sickness and In Health' & 'Kicked Out Of Hell'). There are some nice 50s Rock'n'Roll 'Horror' compilations out on LP and CD like 'Monster Bop' and 'Rockin' Nightmares'. Great stuff worth tracking down!
