I feel a rockabilly revival comming on!

I noticed a lot of newbies to the forum, and kinda feeling like another rockabilly revival in the making.

It's been over 25 years, so it's about time it comes back in. The Cats did it in the 80's, and they'll more than likely be doing it again!!!!

Ain't life great!! Rockabilly on!!!

I think it is slowly happening in Australia already... I see more and more people coming to gigs and festivals.. Rockabilly even has its own section in the music store now!.. well I think that's exciting.. no longer must we be constrained to the confinements of the rock/pop section!


Kid.

Well, here in Brussels (Belgium) we're busy commemorating Expo 58's 50th anniversary.
Seems like people are having some interest for the fifties again, so who knows?

Also, a rockabilly/rock 'n' roll/blues festival is being held this summer for the third year just next to the atomium.
Very few people came the first year, a lot more last year, I believe this year, with the celebrations there will be even more. Could help the scene in these parts.

yea my bands gona do it!! we are starting to in our home town! more people are coming to shows. You know its all just about good music. If it rocks its good. A rockabilly revival would be nice though.

I can't see it happening in the UK ,the place is full of silly little chavs.Its a shame because there is some cracking bands around at the moment.

I think its real cool that Rockabilly is coming back! we had a rockabilly weekend on the Navajo Reservation a while back. there were a lot of fans who showed up, I was totally taken aback and was happily surprised. there's another one in the works too. not to mention all the cool bands that showed up. I was also surprised they have navajo bands playing rockabilly.

the Hopi tribe has a reggae festival every year, so why not the navajos have rockabilly festival, right? haha!!

I think that revival let´s say in 79-82(in europe and later in Usa) was UNIQUE thing same way as 1950´s, we don´t see anything like that again(different times in record industry,"people hava already seeing everything" etc) of course it´s nice to see things like that psychobilly thing in Usa right now.

mmm in melbourne, australia i've found quite alot of people listen to some rockabilly but they mainly listen to other stuff more predominantly like punk or hardcore.
i dunno maybe im just out of the loop now or maybe its just because i know more punks then cats
