Saturday Matinee – The Creepshow, Messer Chups, Paulie Martin & Blues Confidential, and The Reverend Horton Heat

The Creepshow has been blasting psychopunkabilly for a while. Zombies Ate Her Brain was from their debut album, Sell Your Soul (2006).

From St. Petersburg, Russia,  Messer Chups is listed under vampire space zombie surf rock. “Messer” is German for “knife” and “Chups” is from Chupa Chups lollipops.

Decent cover of Freddie King‘s classic Boogie Man performed by Paulie Martin & Blues Confidential of Ireland. According to the band’s website, Martin has moved on to other ventures..

Gretchmaster The Reverend Horton Heat has a tailgater to deal with.

Just a few days to go before the little spooky ones come a-knockin’.  We had maybe a half dozen last year, and that includes the one who showed up twice. In any case, pumpkin vivisection is scheduled for Monday.

See you tomorrow, you know where to find me.

The X From Outer Space (1967)

Formerly known as The Twitter From Outer Space.
When a crew of scientists returns from Mars with a sample of the space spores that contaminated their ship, they inadvertently bring about a nightmarish earth invasion. After one of the spores is analyzed in a lab, it escapes, eventually growing into an enormous, rampaging beaked beast.

Stampede, The Scarlets (1959)
Not to be confused with the R&B vocal group of the same name, or the 1960s band from Denmark, or the glam-punk band from Australia, this was an instrumental group with Peter Antonio, (aka Pete Antell) and John Sanzone on guitars. Originally titled Dragstrip, Stampede was the theme to the movie Dragstrip Girl. From Billboard’s Music Popularity Charts Sep. 28 1959: “A fine instrumental blues with lots of echo. Side makes use of a downward progression of notes as one of its base themes. Plenty of raucous guitar and sax sound here (Atlantic, BMI).”

Saturday Matinee – Oz Noy (w/ Amitai Pariente), Ghalia Volt & Joanne Shaw Taylor

Oz Noy / guitar, Amitai Pariente / bass and (?)/ drums, with their version of Pee Wee Ellis’ The Chicken. The Utoobage lists the drummer as “Omer Punk” but that appears to be an alias.

Belgian guitarist (and occasional one-woman band) Ghalia Volt scored the number three slot on the Billboard Top Blues Albums Chart in 2019.

Joanne Shaw Taylor kicks the hoodoo loose all the way from the UK.

Batteries have been running low for the past few days, but I’ll be up at the crack of noon tomorrow. See you then.
