Slovenian rockabilly band is conquering Europe !!!
Not only do The Lucky Cupids play at the Rockabilly Rave, oh no, they also perform in Milwaukee, Milano!!!!
So, who are they? "The group was established in 1994 and plays mainly 50's rockabilly music, a mixture of swing, surf, fast rhythm and blues, a little country and western style.", they say.
People in Slovenia go crazy where-ever they play. Can't wait to see them, and..... wonder how Slovenian chicks look like!

A letter from Chris Dawson !!!!!!!!
"Hi to all of you, our extended family. I am writing to tell you that Ronnie had a biopsy done yesterday (Tuesday the 28th) and his cancer is back, in full force. His tongue is completely invaded and it has spread to his lungs and is incurable. His doctors have given him 9 months to 1 year. There is nothing that they can offer him in the way of treatment that he is willing to do. And even if he were willing to undergo horrible surgery which would involve removing his tongue and his lower jaw, which would mean not being able to speak, sing or even eat, it would only prolong this for another year or so of abject misery, not to mention removing ... continue reading

Fabrice Lombardo dies from cancer !!!!
Honestly, the band that impressed me the most at the last Rockabilly Rave was Da Gous Ket Ramblers from France !!
Allthough I'm not the biggest Cajun fan, it was one of the best gigs I've ever seen !!!
Unfortunately, Fabrice Lombardo, the bass-player died last Thursday from cancer. He was married to Sophie and has a child, Lisa.
May you rest in peace, Fabrice !!!

SLOVENIAN ROCKABILLY? IT'S EASIER TO FIND A GORILLA ON THE NORTHPOLE !!!!
Allthough, there is a Slovenian rockabilly band!!! The Lucky Cupids is their name, rockabilly (and chasin' chicks) is their game. But where the hell is Slovenia? Slovenia is a small European country (the size of two belgian villages) between Austria and Italy. And they DO grow rockabillies over there!!
Andrej, Matevz, Ales and Grega are the living proof!
SEE THEM AT THE ROCKABILLY RAVE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HEY HEY, JOE CLAY : DON'T THROW YOUR RECORDS AWAY !!!!!
Yep, that's exactly what he did. In the seventies, Joe was a bit out of music and still had a lot of original Sun records at his place. One day, the garbage man, who had a huge quiff, was very lucky to see all those originals in Joe's garbage can. Now, the man owns a big house in Beverly Hills, and Joe???? ... well, he's still touring and gigging to buy those records back!!!!!
