DESCRIPTION:
MAYHEM 22
CHUCK & THE CRACK PIPES one lung down

The Western Star recording studio was designed and built by veteran Rockabilly & Psychobilly musician/producer Alan Wilson - who is probably best known as founder member and front man of 80's Psychobilly pioneers The Sharks. In the late 90's after 20 years of touring Alan hung up his trusty Telecaster to concentrate on the business. Whilst the studio records all types of music, the establishment has become a Mecca for Rockabilly and Psychobilly bands, mainly due to Alan's musical past. In 2004 Alan expanded the thriving business to incorporate the Western Star record label.

This compilation DVD is a collection of promo videos of bands connected or associated with the studio and label. Many have been shot and edited by Western Star. Some have been commissioned specially for this film and a few are home made by the bands themselves.

27 tracks in total - 24 of which have never been seen before... anywhere!

The collection showcases bands old and new. Big names from the scene such as The Frantic Flintstones, The Sharks and Frenzy rub shoulders with upcoming bands such as Luna Vegas, The Valentine Villains, The Bonneville Barons and Pretty Grim. Also included here are 3 promos by Jack Rabbit Slim who hold the enviable title of best selling Rockabilly band of both 2006 and 2007. This band have just returned from headliner slot at the Viva Las Vegas festival and were also featured on a Radio 2 documentary this year. The compilation also includes promos by The Bad Detectives. This crazy band are game for anything, as their videoÕs show. They are popular on the Americana scene and have two successful albums on Western Star and have had a lot of Radio 2 airplay.
