Dale Rocka and the Volcanoes

************************************************************



Down in Sicily,in the deeprest south of Italy,there's a bunch of guys between 25 and 30 years old who play rockabilly music with passion.



They've been knowing each other since a longtime but they got together as a band in the beginning of 1998.Each one of them has previous musical experience, from doo wop (the singer Dale Rocka was a member of the SILVER TRIO now split up) to bluegrass and straight rockabilly,all of them have been inside the rockin scene for 10 years at least so it means more than 40 years spent rockin and rollin.



Their majors influence are the rockabilly heroes of the 50' either famous or unknown as Warren Smith, Bob Luman,Lee Williams to name just a few.



Living close to the highest volcano of Europe ,the Etna, they named the band DALE ROCKA & THE VOLCANOS and in the spring of the 1998 they started to play gigs all over Sicily.As 1998 became 1999 the group made it's first appearance outside Sicily playing few gigs around Paris and taking the opportunity to also record a few tracks for the new french DOGHOUSE label released in split E.P. with the combo RUBY ANN & THE BOPPIN BOOZERS.Of the two originals primitive rockabilly songs on the E.P. YOU GET ALONE I'VE GOT THE BLUES and WHEN I LEFT YOU it's surely the first that has been noticed by european DJ's who spinned it in the biggest rock'n'roll clubs all around the continent.
