We've all played in bands for years from the late 70's to recent times it's great to write our own material and add our own individuality to our form of Blues/country/Rockabilly.
Our aim is to bring new Rockabilly songs to a new audience as well as an established one, Rockabilly doesn't just live in the 50's bring it on millenium style. Get on.......Massive thanks to the Pirates and a massive thanks to Faron Ruffley from Mersey Beat combo Faron's Flamingo's for all his help and tall stories!!!!! if we ask very nice he might just manage us.

DC and The Customatix were born 5 years ago in Lancashire, a fusion of Blues, 50's Rock-a-billy, Country Swing with a hint of jazz.
All original material from foot stomping Rockabilly to smooth instrumental songs ala Dick Dale.
The band are 5 piece Guitar, Bass, Drums, and vocals, we've been unafraid to use modern tech as a part of our sound scape, Les Paul started the guitar effects revolution and Pete is happy to carry that legacy on.
The Band have been in the Studio recording their 3rd demo 'FULL CUSTOM BLAST' and are warming up for a spate of Spring and Summer gigs around the country.
A real BIG thankyou to the Southport Visitor for their recent article on the band, many thanks.
i..ve linked your myspace to some people that arrange shit for bands over here! and that thing about the liver sucks. my dad died of his liver and he didnt even drink that often so i..m hopin i won..t catch it!
I have loads of them knocking about... How many do you want??? Lol... But the more important job is to put a CD player in... Going through the tunnel with just radio and no reception is more annoying... It sounds like you have a knackered driveshaft... Eeeeek...
Yo Daaa! Lovin the songs! Send us a CD when you can. You have the new address. Seeya soon at a gig hopefully. Will come down to yours with Katie over easter.
