2007 and 2008

What's new in Rockabilly?

How about Brian Setzer playing at Pechanga Casino on New Years Eve?

Sounds like a good way to combine your love for Poker and Rockabilly.

In other news.... just saw the latest Gretsch Catalog at the NAMM show.

Yes Brian Setzer is featured prominently on Page 5.

But no Billy Zoom?

I don't even know how half of these people made it into the catalog.

Hootenanny 2006

The Rockingest Cats in the Galaxy

We finally did it. After months and months of talking about it we finally came up with a new format.

As part of that format we have added this blog where readers can post comments and we can add new information much quicker than designing a web page.

And while many bands have updated pages we still are committed to adding new material when ever possible.

So keeping checking in and thank you for your visit.

StrayCats.Com

Finally someone stepped up and corrected things.

Maybe it was just me, but it blew me away that the greatest performing band in the world - The Stray Cats - did not have their own website.

Straycats.com, Straycats.net, and StrayCtas.org were all bizarre and non Stray Cat related webpages.

Sure you could argue, that websites aren't really 50's culture, but Brian Setzer has an awesome website, so why not the Stray Cats?

It was interesting to see how slowly most bands jumped on the web band wagon.

As a whole there were far more post 2000 than pre 2000 websites.

Always something there to remind me

For what it's worth we just had a really cool redesign at
www.straycats.us

Like most websites it's a work in progress...

Slow Season

I don't know what it is but it seems like January through March has been a slow season for news and other events.

By scouring the web I found the announcement date for the Hootenanny:

Saturday, July 2nd 2005

There is a really cool DVD of the Stray Cats that no one seems to be selling.

Maybe we can get it into Price Grabber and see what happens.

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

Looks like we made it &:)

Check out our cool new index page (complete with Bigfoot).

Here is the story of Rockabilly.com from 2000-2005.

During the dot.com crash the company that was hosting the server went out of business without telling us.

Luckily I found ALEXA which helped me pick up the pieces and start to put the site back together.

There is still a lot of work to do (i.e. updates) but we are much closer than before.

In the meantime I had an awesome portal designed and added the web blog.

It looks like we have enough to keep us on our toes for 2005.
