As Diabatz

During summertime in 2006, three south brazilian girls have noticed that it was about time to start an all-girl band in the Brazil's Psychobilly scene. Inspired by the 80's classic psycho bands, they started to play their own simple & raw songs, willing to transmit this disease that Psychobily is all about. "The Brazilian psycho scene spawned a luscious rarity in 2006, when three ladies stirred up their own twist on the original style from the early eighties.

The Go-Katz

The Go-Katz were originally formed as a five piece band in 1986. Howard Raucous (v), Giles "Beaker" Brett (g), Mark "Moff" Moffat (b), Andy Young (g) and Johnny "Wolf" Basford (d) decided to form The Go-Katz after they met in a bar in Loughborough, UK. Because the band wasn't a big factor in the London Psychobilly circuit at that time, Howard decided to release their first EP on his own. Howard´s "Raucous Records" had already started as a mail-order service, and so a new record label was born. In 1988, they continued without the rhythm guitar of Giles Brett and Dave replaced Wolf on drums.
