Creature From Hell

Описание: Hope some of you psycho fans find this of interest, and perhaps a few even like it?!
Shakin bones were just a bunch of kids from the Black Country (for those that don’t know, that’s a proud industrial area 15 miles south west of Birmingham), who in the early 80’s got caught up in the psychobilly revolution! Heavily influenced by the mighty Cramps, and other great bands like The Meteors, Guana Batz, Stingrays, Restless, Exploited, G.B.H., UK Subs and Death Cult, we bought some instruments and a few bits of sound equipment and proceeded to be the best of mates for the some of the greatest years of our lives!
Although we knew we were not in the same league as many others, and our skills were limited to a few chords on a 5 string guitar, it didn’t stop us trying, and didn’t stop us having a blast, and indeed over that 3 year period we managed to get a small record deal on a compilation album with Raucous Records (Psycho Tendencies), and we gigged with many of the top bands of the day, at the Harp Club in Woolwich, and twice at the mighty Klubfoot in Hammersmith, one of these Klubfoot gigs being the infamous Xmas bash with the Meteors in December 1987, to a 1000+ strong psychobilly / punk army; and other gigs with the likes of Batmobile, Fractured and Skitzo.
It ended seemingly as quickly as it began, as the dole office forced us all into that boring thing called employment and we began to find other commitments like women and bills, and although the guitar hasn’t come out of the loft for nigh on 25 years I’m still out there supporting all the bands still playing and at the same time forgetting for a couple of hours at least that I’m 50 and it was all 30 years ago!
Special thanks to all that played with us (me Daz Rock, Den Rose, Ivor the Dudley punk, Warren ‘Fuzz’ Rudge, Tony ‘Macky’ Collins and Paul ‘the drum’ Brookes) and to all those that supported us on our trips and gigs.
