Growing up my dad was a teddy boy with the big quiff , drove a ford cortina and liked his hot rods and now plays in a rock and roll band so I grew up listening to the likes of Eddie Cochran , Gene Vincent , Stray cats to the likes of Frenzy , Guana Batz , Demented are go etc…. Just wondering if anyone else is still into that Era/Genre as it seems to be dying out especially amongst us younger generation |

My Dad was a Teddy boy too. I was raised on the same music, along with Buddy Holly and Frankie Valens, Helen Shapiro
I just love that eta, the vibe, the clothes. I do think sometimes I was born at the wrong time 
Now I listen to Post Modern Jukebox and Amy Winehouse |

Didn't really like that era of music, in the 80's. Hope it doesn't die out.
But as time travelled on, around the 90's I started to see that the 50's/60's had an awful lot going for it:
Ladies fashions, (Stockings and huge flowing skirts) music, (Elvis, Little Richard, Chuck Berry as well as Dwayne Eddy etc.) and everything surrounding that era. Just would have been a fun time to be growing up in......but then I may have missed Blondie. Decisions. |

I used to go to Dingwalls during the daytime at the weekend as a teenager. There would be rockabilly and psychobillys dancing and hanging out. I could never master the moves but appreciated the art form. Loved a bit of The Meteors, king Kurt and the cramps back then too (still love the cramps)
Sadly never went stomping at Klub foot |

"Are the Meteors still going? Long blonde hair, big blue eyes, I love your tits and I love your thighs......don't write them like that anymore lol"
I believe they’re still , wrecking crew was a good one |

The Cramps were a great live band.

My Dad and his mates would travel from Bath to the Klub foot to see the likes of Batmobile , Restless etc…. Still got loads of old merchandise that he got from the Klub foot , it looked amazing place to go unfortunately I was born in the wrong era , I’ll have to check out that Psycobilly festival though |

I had no interest in rock and roll growing up as a young punk rocker I remember laughing at Ted's in there 40s..(at a safe distance as they couldn't run fast in those creepers)😹
But now as a 58 year old punk rocker my music tastes have broadened and I've amassed a collection of rockabilly compilations and the like. |

I never made the klub foot either. Have the albums though but always wanted to go. |
