Sounds Like
Imagine a '52 Caddy containing Johnny Cash, Howlin Wolf, and Carl Perkins hurtling down a dirt road at 90 miles an hour. Now, imagine a '50 Oldsmobile Rocket 88 containing Link Wray, Buck Owens and Elmore James hurtling in the opposite direction at 90 miles an hour down the same dirt road, with Neil Young, The Who and Eddie Cochran standing by to watch the crash. Not pretty perhaps, but hey, that's us.
Like some sort of musical version of a AA/Fuel Dragster, Docabilly roars to life every so often, makes a frenzied pass down the quarter, then heads back to the garage for fine tuning. Docabilly first fired up in 2004 when Doc, Uncle Martin and Rev. Shane, at that time all playing in local hillbilly boogie legends They Can't Hardly Playboys, got together to play some loud-ass rockabilly, blues, surf and garage on a day off at the Rev.'s house. It was just supposed to be a chance to blow off some steam, but wouldn't ya know that after a couple of hours they decided they were ready to go out and give the rest of Fresno a good old-fashioned Farmersville ass-whuppin'! Doc brought his love of rockabilly, primitive rock and roll, blues country and surf, along with years of playing various bands around the area. Uncle Martin dragged in a love of metal and blues and loads of experience in the L.A. metal scene. And the mighty Rev. Shane brought in his twisted take on country music, love of Elvis and Johnny Cash, and all around warped personality to bind it all together. The result is a brew of rockabilly, blues, surf, fifties and sixties garage and country that won't let up until everybody is nearly naked and having one hell of a time!

Two questions about the gig tonight: 1. How come you're only paying folks $5.00 to watch you guys......Elvis figures a crisp 20 dollar bill is more like it.
2. If Elvis is in a Tryptophan Coma......can he collect disability?
