The Original Rabbit Foot Spasm Band play Atomic and Red Hot beat music. Rabbit Foot Spasm Band shows bring you red hot choruses, kazoo solos and authentic, prohibition style, serious drinking. Yes-Suh! We formed as a proper old style Spasm Band in 2006 playing homemade instruments and now there are seven of us (listed over there on the left). We've played all over the UK, Holland and Germany. Most of what we play is original music plus some old and obscure favourites picked up from our 78s, and all of it swings like hell! We have a busy 2010 but most of our public appearances are listed here. If you have any questions on the band or the music we play please get in touch.
