The
Pocket Devils are the creation of multi-talented musician/actor Jonathan Owen. The band has made a wealth of uncompromising, kick ass singles, many
of which we are happy to make available at The Pocket Devils' MySpace page for the first time.
Currently starring in the viral internet smash SVENGALI, Jonathan played "Richey" on the ITV-1 Wales drama NUTS + BOLTS, has been featured in the BBC-1/BBC America smash MURPHY'S LAW and starred in the Irvine Welsh BBC play DOSE.
Jonathan also played the male lead "Josh" in Irvine Welsh and Dean Cavanagh's WEDDING BELLES, which was aired on Channel 4 in Great Britain. Jonathan also played "Steve" in the critically acclaimed film LITTLE WHITE LIES, which was short listed for the Moscow Film Festival.
Last, but certainly not least, Jonathan was also featured in the "Doctor Who" spinoff TORCHWOOD. He plays "Banana Boat".
Bobby Poe and The Poe Kats - Rockabilly Hall Of Famers from the
1950's - were a groundbreaking act that featured legendary piano
player Big Al Downing and
renowned lead guitarist Vernon Sandusky. The late, great Big Al
Downing went on to become a Number 1 Country star, while Vernon Sandusky
was in Country Music Hall of Famer Roy Clark's band for over 20 years. In March of 2009, Bobby Poe and The Poe Kats were inducted into The Kansas Music Hall of Fame.
Bobby Poe and The Poe Kats' debut single on White Rock Records -
"Rock & Roll Record Girl", backed with "Rock & Roll Boogie"
- is highly prized by collectors.
The Poe Kats were also Rockabilly Queen Wanda Jackson's touring and/or
backing band and various members can sometimes be found on her
early singles, including the Rockabilly classic "Let's Have A
Party". "Let's Have A Party" was first recorded by Elvis Presley
for his film "Loving You" and was known simply as "Party". Wanda's
version was recorded around the same time (when she and Elvis were
dating) and featured The Poe Kats' Big Al Downing on piano, Vernon
Sandusky on lead guitar and Joe Brawley on drums. Also on the
session were Buck Owens on rhythm guitar (who was just starting his
career) and Skeets McDonald on bass. It took a couple of years -
until 1960 to be exact - for "Let's Have A Party" to become a Pop
hit and one of Wanda's signature songs.
"(Let's Have A) Party" was covered by Sir Paul McCartney on his
rollicking roots DVD "Live At The Cavern Club", which also features
Pink Floyd's David Gilmour on guitar and Deep Purple's Ian Paice on drums. There is also a version of "Party" on Sir Paul's CD "Run Devil Run".

You may also be interested in The Chartbusters, a group from the
mid-1960's that had a big hit with the single "She's The One"
(Mutual Records, catalog number 502). The Chartbusters were managed
by Bobby Poe, Sr. and featured lead guitarist Vernon Sandusky from
Bobby Poe and The Poe Kats. Bobby and Vernon also produced the
band, with Vernon writing or co-writing most of the group's
material.
"She's The One" was released in the Summer of 1964 and went on to
sell over 750,000 copies, peaking at Number 33 on Billboard's singles chart. At the time, it was also a Number 1 record at several radio stations around the country. Joey
Reynolds of WKBW Radio in Buffalo, New York can take credit for breaking the single nationally.
For you trivia buffs out there, Tom Hanks was quoted in People Magazine as saying The
Chartbusters were one of the inspirations for his film "That Thing
You Do!". In the 1980's "She's The One" was released by Rhino Records on "Nuggets, Volume 4" as part of their highly respected series of classic
singles from the mid-1960's (the original vinyl series released in 1984, not the later CD box set).
This Just In: Sundazed Music will release The Chartbusters' singles "Kick Wheeler" and "Lonely Surfer Boy" on one of their compilations!
Right in time for their 10th anniversary the band is about to release their new CD. An album with 13 energy packed songs which will make the heart of every Melodic-Rock-fan beat faster.
These songs show, that you don't need to be born in the US to prove to be one of AORs finest acts across the Atlantic!
