Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Big, stoopid, tribalistic psychobilly freakout! King Kurt live is pure pantomime - cream pies and wild hair and hip-shacking, punked-out rhythms from one of the greatest outfits of the 80s UK rockabilly revival. Essential FFO: The Cramps, The Meteors, Reverend Horton, Guana Batz, Stray Cats."

King Kurt
Although psychobilly pranksters King Kurt are best remembered for "Destination Zululand," the rambunctious smash with which they stormed the U.K. chart in 1984, to recall them purely as one-hit wonders is to decry another four years of achievement -- four further singles and two full albums also bothered the charts before the group finally faded away during 1987. But even that only begins to tell the band's story, for it wasn't on cold, impersonal wax that King Kurt were at their blistering, mystifying best. It was in concert, where gigs became tribal gatherings, songs became rockabilly psycho chants, and haircuts were -- well, let's just say they were mighty peculiar.
Having split up in the late 80s, the band has since reformed in 2010, sporadically performing numerous shows since and now they are coming to the legendary venue All Hallowes Hall in the backstreets of Easton. Supported by local bands The Kings Of Outer Space and The SinicTones this is an evening you won't forget with Tiny Wreckin' the decks to finish you all off
