The Acceleratii are a four-piece group from Duluth, Minnesota that
specializes in 50's/60's rock, country, rockabilly & psychobilly
music. The group formed in the fall of 2005, its early shows taking
place mostly in and around Duluth- home to the only sizable
music scene that Minnesota offers north of the Twin Cities.
The band is fronted by singer Bo Bandit, who first
proposed assembling this kind of group after spending many, many long
hours surrounded by psychopaths and firearms in his Duluth pawn shop.
Backing up this rock and roll behemoth are (the infamous and amazing) Gomez on guitar, some schmuck named Neb on bass and this other funny little guy named Dubs on the drums.
From the shit-hole chicken shack bars up in the
thick north woods to the Twin Cities, the Apostle Islands, the cornfields of Iowa, tourist traps, bar mitzvahs and keg parties, the Acceleratii have honed their show with the help of many thousands of beers and inspiration from their rock & roll idols which they try, however sloppily, to honor in their repertoire.
2009 is seeing the Acceleratii’s first fruitful efforts at recording, with their first real fancy-shmancy CD release expected this spring. Among the group's many treatments of early rock, jump blues, country, swing, classic punk and psychobilly are many of the Acceleratii’s new original tunes, which should appeal to all fans of these genres- especially if you’re six years old.
