so over the past couple of years I've become really into the swing scene. unfortunately, it's not exactly thriving in san antonio, but that's neither here nor there. rockabilly has really started appealing to me as well, though I admit that I'm more into the scenes' respective "revivals" than anything else.

some examples of what I like!
the royal crown revue (http://youtube.com/watch?v=QJ607Yzwn7k)
brian setzer, the frontman for the stray cats back in the 80's, and his orchestra (http://youtube.com/watch?v=MDP-tMLqc_M)

anybody else have any class?

I always liked the Deluxetone Rockets.


As for class, no. Don't have any of that.

I've been inching my way into some rockabilly,swing, and such; but I only know of a couple bands.

on the Psychobilly front, I've really only listened to Nekromantix which I've really liked. I wanted pick up a Reverend Horton heat album but I'm really lazy. There's a lot of people that are really gay for Tiger Army, but nothing that's really convinced me to beg borrow or steal an album

I don't really get into psychobilly so much. it seems a little too "OI OI OI" for me. nekromantix make good videos though and apparently put on a damn good show.

GLOWBELLY WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN YOU NEED TO CALL ME WHY IS YOUR NUMBER DISCONNECTED LADY

-and back to the thread: IS, when you come up to Maryland, you have to swing dance with me! I love swing dancing and swing music even more! I haven't danced in a long time, though, and I used to lead because according to my very good friend, she would have to dance with more guys, so her need to dance like a girl is much more important.

but don't expect me to do that shit where I sling you around and what. I'll show up and dance and look like a cool cat, but none of that tomfoolery
