The Dusk Devils

Bio:

The Dusk Devils play drivingly uptempo rockabilly, boogie-woogie, honky-tonking twanging & banging "American music." The band began as one person writing Bakersfield Sound-style honky-tonk tunes to get rid of heartaches. Then she turned to the more upbeat repertoire she's always loved & joined forces w/others, & now the band's adding originals - no heartache tunes, tho!

The Dusk Devils play for the joy of interpreting the tunes they love; to give the audience the best show possible; & to "bring forth the collective knowledge of those that came before" (Phil Alvin).

A more professional bio will come one day, but probably not. :) Band email: theduskdevils@yahoo.com ; a little more music: http://www.bakotopia.com/home/User/theduskdevils . In addition to The Dusk Devils, Jenny also does a one-woman rockabilly-punk act at times & recorded a little EP of it... Email if you're interested. Bassman Mark plays w/various acts around Bakersfield. Links to everyone follow!
