These are 2 ideas for logo/shirt designs for my new band Young Jaguars. I can't decide on which to use. We play all instrumentals in the Link Wray style. My friend Curt plays bass in the band and we're playing a bunch of songs we used to play in our old psychobilly band The Alphabet Bombers. Here's a video that band made years ago when my hair was bigger and greasier.

Ossum! I wish I had seen the Alphabet Bombers! Lookit Curt, rocking the stand-up bass!
I can't wait to see the Young Jaguars (I missed the recent show at the Sidebar and another not long before that one)! And get a T-shirt!
Thanks Tim,
Once we get the shirts printed I'll definitely save you one. I really miss Alphabet Bombers but I'm glad we got to make at least the one video.
Your blog keeps getting better and better! Your older articles are not as good as newer ones you have a lot more creativity and originality now keep it up!
Love the video , very old-skool psychobilly.Not as much a fan of the newer more 'metal' sounding Psychobilly these days , it's just not the same thing.
Great Paul Fenech ( The Meteors ) quote - "Remember if it's psychobilly , it's gotta have some rockabilly in it somewhere, it ain't just Punk with a double bass."
Nice T design - I'm liking the bottom one a lot more. Top one could be a cat ;-)
Hey Dominic, I totally agree about modern psychobilly.
My favorite bands were bands like the Quakes or Frantic Flintstones who had a lot of rockabilly in their sound but still had an edge.
We played with a band a few weeks ago that all had big quiffs and looked very much the part but when they started playing it was like a bad AFI cover band. Maybe I'm getting old haha.
I must be getting old too cos' my faves are the likes of 'The Meteors' , Ricochets, Guana Batz,Skitzo & Batmobile.
You going to start a 'MySpace' for the new band?
We started one at www.myspace.com/youngjaguars but we just have a few live songs up so far. We should be going to a studio soon to properly record some songs. This band is definitely more Link Wray sounding than my old psychobilly band but I think we're starting to come together more now.
To be a upright lenient being is to from a amiable of openness to the world, an cleverness to guardianship aleatory things beyond your own manage, that can front you to be shattered in hugely exceptionally circumstances for which you were not to blame. That says something remarkably important thither the prerequisite of the honest autobiography: that it is based on a trust in the unpredictable and on a willingness to be exposed; it's based on being more like a weed than like a prize, something somewhat tenuous, but whose very particular attractiveness is inseparable from that fragility.
