A Las Vegas trio that mixed rockabilly, punk, and macabre themes for decades.
If you want to hear what they do well, 'Chainsaw Massacre' has that driving bassline and rough-edged vocal. 'For Hire' from their top songs shows they kept the engine running.
They carved out a specific corner of psychobilly with songs like 'Chainsaw Massacre' and 'Demon Demon' that never softened their horror imagery or driving basslines. Their first album 'Psycho Attack!' from 1993 set the tone early, and they stuck to that foundation without much fuss. For a certain kind of listener, that consistency was the whole point.
Koffin Kats formed in Las Vegas in 1986 around brothers Ron and Charlie Emory, with Ron on vocals and guitar and Charlie on upright bass. They kept putting out records through the late '90s and early 2000s, including 'Creepy Crawlin'' and 'Vicious Circle,' staying a three-piece through most of their run.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
