Deemed "to traditional" by psychobilly bands that can't play their instruments and "to psycho" by rockabilly bands that are no fun to watch, The Carburator Cats are a band without a specific place in the forever growing world of musical genres and they don't care. Not enslaved by fashion or a pretentious scene, they set out each night to bring sweat soaked rock and roll from the heart to whoever cares to listen. This is our story.



The 1980's found Tony and his kid brother Mike rocking out to the funky sounds that shaped a generation, all the while holding onto their repressed passion for the music of guys like Gene Vincent, Elvis, and Muddy Waters as they navigated the nasty road that comes with being raised in the DC metro region. They would form and join many bands along the way without becoming "rock and roll casualties" themselves. Meanwhile, in the wilds of the Pennsyltucky Piedmont region, a young Hankdawg was listening to his grandmother sing Irish Lullabye as she washed clothes in a 1948 Maytag Special, while his grandaddy picked Bill Monroe tunes on a 1935 Stewart. He would soon cut his teeth as a honky tonk troubadour in the famed Delaware underground.



A chance meeting between Hank and Mike in a West Virginia dive bar led to the birth of Two Tone Tony and the Carburator Cats as they were joined by a Baltimore drummer in building their first set followed by a rollicking performance at The Lighthouse in Berryville, Virginia. The group would soon find themselves sharing stages with road tested stalwarts including Dexter Romweber, JB Beverley and The Wayward Drifters, Big Sandy and His Fly-Rite Boys, and The Marauders. The first chapter in this band's story is ending and a new one will soon begin with the release of their debut album, Snake Oil. Stay tunedyou ain't seen nothing yet!



Inspried by similar vision, a refusal to be pigeonholed by genre, general disdain for one another, and a natural inclination to entertain, Two Tone Tony and the Carburator Cats are bound to do just that!
