Is anyone here familiar with the Gothabilly genre?
I've seen/heard alot of references to psychobilly but not much about this.As you can probably infer, it's a blend of rockabilly w/ goth. Now I know of several bands of this genre, but I should make note of the fact that Bauhaus certainly had a rockabilly sound to some of their songs[passion of lovers,hair on the dog,telegram sam] but thas was long ago. I wonder if there's actually a gothabilly 'scene' out there-I think goth+retro is waaaaaaaaaay cool

you know any bands? I only know of psychobilly, swingabilly, rockabilly...

:scary:

yeah, it's kind of scary. I don't really know how it would sound like, seems like a weird combination to me.

sounds like the worst possible type of music of all time. congrats.

Well, I wanna har it first before jumping into conclusions, but I know what you mean

Since Gothabilly is technically a Hybrid of Rockabilly and "classic" goth
I should like to mention that Bauhaus, considered to be the 1st true goth band
incorperated the Rockabilly sound into many of their songs[like "Passion of Lovers" for example]

I haven't heard of gothabilly neither, but I'm a HUGE billy fan.

Did some research. Check these bands and related sites. Their you might find a gothabilly webring. I'll check that later. I'm defenitly interested!

Ok, by now, I heard some bands, and I must see I don't see lots of difference with psychobilly here. Probably darker lyrics, and one band (Cryktkeeper five; my fav) use a Addams Family like organ. Maybe that refers to the goth, I don't know. I discovered some new bands that rock, so that's cool. Gothabilly, psychobilly, punkabilly,....guess the differences are very little. Thanx for bringing it up anyway.
