Stray Cats

The Stray Cats are an American rockabilly three-piece band from New York, which was formed in 1979 by Brian Setzer (guitar, vocals) and his childhood friends, Lee Rocker (bass, vocals) and Slim Jim Phantom (drums, vocals). They originally set out to play 1950s' rock & roll on a punk rock basis and played many gigs in the early 1980s before re-forming with the original lineup in 1989. Since then they have toured all over the world bringing their high-energy live performances to every corner of the globe. The band's set list of classic hits such as "Rock This Town," "Stray Cat Strut," "(She's) Sexy + 17," "I Won't Stand in Your Way" and many others are delivered with raw passion and include scorching guitar solos by Setzer, explosive upright bass playing by Rocker and exuberant on-stage personality from all three.

The band have been nominated for a number of Grammy Awards, inducted into the Rockabilly Hall of Fame and have a special place in the history of rock music with many of their 80's singles reaching the top of the charts. The three original members Setzer, Rocker and Phantom have been touring the world for the last few years in their unique signature line up of upright bass, guitar and drums playing a unique blend of rock, punk and 50's' rock & roll that has been delighting fans everywhere.
