The Meteors | Slob Drop | @ the Stone Church

THE METEORS started 30 years ago as a reaction against the soft rockabilly that was popular at the time, and they have now evolved into the acknowledged “Kings of Psychobilly”.

Their audience has continually expanded, and includes not just psychobillies, but everybody from rockabillies and punks, to bikers, and most alternatives. They are the original creators of Psychobilly Music, and although they have spawned hundreds of imitations, THE METEORS are proud to be the only pure Psychobilly band ever. Their songs are inspired by their personal experiences and interests: Horror, Perversion, and Death in general. They list their hobbies as motorbikes, rock’n’roll, and burying the living; amongst their heroes are Michael Myers, Charles Manson, and Mark Chapman, the man who shot John Lennon.

They have now released no fewer than 40 official albums, countless singles, and dozens of compilations and reissues. Many were made in their own recording studio, “In Heaven”, a fully working pro studio used by 100’s of bands, including some very famous household names, and lead-man PAUL FENECH has also released six successful solo albums. (They have also featured in many films and numerous TV shows) Worldwide sales have increased steadily over the years, and they have toured almost continuously to support these releases.

Their live show is wild and addictive, (they have done it over thousands of times in fact this year passing their four thousand five hundredth) and has been seen in just about every country in the world, including Japan, several tours of America, and every major city in Europe and Scandinavia even spending a sell out week in Israel, Everybody is welcome at THE METEORS show, and the band make a point that THE METEORS Live is a political or religious free zone. People should come to enjoy the music, and to wreck if they are brave enough! It’s wild and sweaty, but nobody gets seriously hurt.

They are supported by a flourishing fan base of thousands worldwide, kept in touch through the website www.kingsofpsychobilly.com, which is updated daily with tour dates, band news, and new merchandise, and several other websites devoted to them. And they receive daily e-mail from fans from the 4 corners of the earth. Although there have been line-up changes over the years (PAUL FENECH being the only original member), the search for the perfect combination is now over. THE METEORS are a well-known, experienced, professional working band with an established audience. Their most recent release is “Hell Train Rollin’” from 2009.

Whatever you do, don’t forget.

Only THE METEORS Are Pure Psychobilly
