To help carve the niche for Psychobilly, the Koffin Kats have set out on the road to promote this stylistic mix of American Rockabilly and Devilish punk. Their particular sound has a classic rockabilly commitment, leashed with ghoulish imagery, but what make the band true Psychobilly in all its definitions is the energy on-stage that comes along with being a part of this scene.
Tommy Koffin is lead vocals and group founder, ever since he tired of playing with regional bands that had no vision and drive. He succumbed to the rawness hidden in his voice and now bellows lyrical stories of drugs, self loathing and evil. He belongs to Detroit and should be surveying the streets in a 1940’s Dodge Charger, while he prospects for new venues. His greaser appearance - cuffed jeans, white t with rolled sleeves and his high and tight, slicked back hair cut makes the rockabilly women swoon. And his tattoos? Rats, bats and zombies, but then, what else would a guy with the last name of Koffin have?
Tommy Koffin’s right hand man through thick and thin has surely been upright bassist, Vic Victor. The two have settled their score with a series of unimpassioned drummers to have finally found a kin-like Road Dog, E. Balls, who had played with them in the past on temporary contracts. Some have declared their manic performances too rowdy, thick with spat saliva and leaping about, but their latest album, Inhumane should be a household name. Plug ‘em in - Honkey Tonk meets horror and lurid sexuality for sure.
