PSYCHOBILLY INVADES RUBIS:
KOFFIN KATS BIO
After more than a thousand shows and eight years of international touring, "the road" is where Detroit-based KOFFIN KATS now call "home." THE KOFFIN KATS take the Motor City attitude and mix it into a toxic blend of booze, tattoos and thumping psychobilly punk rock 'n' roll. The trio kicked things off in June 2003 with a mission to not stop for anything. Vic Victor (Lead Vocal, Upright Bass) joined forces with long-time friend Tommy Koffin (Guitar) and started laying the groundwork for the sonic assault known as THE KOFFIN KATS.
THE KOFFIN KATS put together songs with subjects ranging from Sci-Fi to dealing with the horrors of the real world. With Eric "E Ball" Walls on drums, they began by playing for beer in small local bars, eventually made their way out of the Midwest. The next couple of years proved to be up with numerous North American tours and down with numerous drummer changes. During this time they released their first three albums — S/T (2003), "Inhumane" (2005), and "Straying from the Pack" (2006).
These releases and the tours helped get the name of "THE KOFFIN KATS" noticed in the wide world of punk and psychobilly. In 2007, Vic and Tommy hooked back up with Eric for their fourth album, "Drunk in the Daylight" (2008), and began making the Kats what are now known for today...NONSTOP TOURING AND MAKING EVERY SHOW A PARTY. With their love for their fans and for the road they set out to play everywhere someone was willing to listen.
In recent years, THE KOFFIN KATS have been able to make a name for themselves in Europe as well and have been included on tours with some of the tops acts in psychobilly, such as Mad Sin, Nekromantix and The Meteors. In 2009 they released "Forever For Hire" and at year's end Tommy left the band to pursue a normal life. Shortly thereafter, EZ Ian Jarrell took over the guitar and hopped on tour. While on the road, the trio worked on material for a split album with The 12 Step Rebels, which was released in the spring of 2011.
Now THE KOFFIN KATS have signed with IHP Records for the release of "Our Way & The Highway" allover Europe, a culmination of all things KK with their rich history, road scars, and outlaw psycho punk blood running furiously through every ear-ripping track.

CLOCKWORK PSYCHO
Female fronted psychobilly trio from Ljubljana, Slovenia!!
It was a cold November evening in 2011, when a lost soul was walking around the graveyard. She felt lonely, but most of all she felt the need to make some noise. So Lilith (vocals/ double bass) picked up a shovel, found the two most neglected tombstones and dug out Al (guitar/ backing vocals) and Dogz (drums). Hence CLOCKWORK PSYCHO was...well..."born". With the three members coming from diverse music scenes (punk, metal, Oi, HC, classic...) the outcome is Psychobilly infused with hints and parts influenced by all those styles.
A good year later, with more than 20 shows around Slovenia and Croatia with bands such as Banane Metalik, The Koffin Kats, Sawyer Family, festivals Petkotina and Mud, Blood & Beer, and a mini tour around Serbia the band is standing stronger than ever. With sights strongly set on conquering the rest of Europe the web is slowly extending and new doors and venues are opening all the time. So keep your eyes open boys and girls, no town is safe anymore!
After recording a demo in autumn 2012, new songs are being formed and twisted into being in the rehersal lair, as the band slowly prepares for it's 1st album. So get ready, CLOCKWORK PSYCHO is here to drink all your beer, steal your souls and dance a victory dance on your graves!
