Summer
1982 in London. The city stomped. The
Meteors had created a new music and
life-style: Psychobilly. Loads of
young urban Rockabillies took a razor
to their head and followed bands like
the Stingrays, the Sharks, Restless or
the Ricochets. At this time the young
singer Pip Hancox met a brilliant
guitar player named Steward Osborne.
They made up a band called the GUANA
BATZ. One of the most successful bands
of our scene ever. They played the
early Klubfoot gigs and a few Night of
the long knifes. They had several hits
in the independent charts and their 7
inch "I'm on fire" from 1987 is one of
the best-selling records of the
Psychobilly scene. In the early 90ies,
after Pip had moved to the US, it
seemed GUANA BATZ wanted to call it a
day. But the guys came back. In
October 1995 they blasted away the 2nd
Wildcat Weekend in Berlin. From this
time on they have come over Europe
once a year and played a lot of tours
and festivals all over the world. In
2017 they have released their first
record in 20 years: Back to the Jungle
(LP) and the single "Burning up" Both
very successful. Always a blast for
your concert. Powerful stage
performance, oldschool but also modern
sound.
