Stray Cats similar artists

The Stray Cats are a rockabilly band formed in 1979 in music|1979 by guitarist/vocalist Brian Setzer (Bloodless Pharaohs/Brian Setzer Orchestra) with school friends Lee Rocker (born Leon Drucker) and Slim Jim Phantom (born James McDonnell) in the Long Island town of Massapequa, New York.

Formation and rapid UK success
The group, whose style was based upon the sounds of Sun Records artists from the 1950s and heavily influenced by Bill Haley & His Comets, had little initial success in the New York music scene, and had to move to England before they saw any success at all within the nascent rockabilly revival there. The group had several hit singles in the UK and the U.S. during the early 1980s.

After a gig in London, Stray Cats met producer Dave Edmunds, well known as a roots rock enthusiast for his work with Rockpile and as a solo artist. Edmunds offered to work with the group, and they entered the studio to record their self-titled debut album, ''Stray Cats (album)|Stray Cats'', released in England in 1981 on Arista Records. They were popular immediately, scoring three straight hits that year with "Runaway Boys (song)|Runaway Boys", "Rock This Town," and "Stray Cat Strut."

The UK follow-up to ''Stray Cats'', ''Gonna Ball'', was not as well-received, providing no hits and receiving some negative reviews.
