Seems to be a few "happenings" with regard to celebrating the birth of this thing called "rock'n'roll". Apparently (according to the radio yesterday) it's been narrowed down to July 5th 1954 when Elvis cut "That's Alright Mama". Voila the 50th Anniversary of the beastie. As you all know, fine as that event may have been in terms of booting any mainstream jacksy, this stuff was bubbling away way before that but I digress. So auld yin and young yin alike, take a walk on yon wild side...
Belfast Rockabilly Roots Round-Up - Barrow Square, Belfast July 2-4th 2004 Celebrating 50 years of rock n roll
We are celebrating the 50th anniversary of rockabilly music in Laganside’s Barrow Square. Artists from the United States, Europe, the UK and Ireland are coming together in Belfast with their individual brands of modern rockabilly music as a living art form. Rockabilly - that mixture of blues, country, hillbilly and gospel music that came together and started the musical revolution we now know as rock n’ roll.
Historians may never agree about when and where rock n roll was born. But all historians do agree that the Sun Studios, 706 Union Avenue, Memphis, Tennessee began a revolution that spawned a legacy which still resonates today.
Sun Studios was responsible for some of the legends of modern music: Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Charlie Rich, Howlin’ Wolf, Roy Orbison, B.B. King but on July 5th, 1954, Elvis Presley recorded That’s Alright Mama in Sun Studios and created a world of rock n roll music.
Nic Roulette & the Blue Moon Boys- From Fort Wayne, Indiana. If you didn’t experience Elvis in the fifties, experience Nic Roulette now. This is high octane rockabilly, rooted in the fifties sound and equally loved by the punk and psychobilly audience.
The Rimshots- Proving once again that you don’t have to come from Memphis to make good rock n roll. These Welsh hillbillies will root and toot their way through their classic repertoire and Belfast will resonate with the cheer of lechyd Da!
The Sabrejets -hard boiled, no holds barred, no punched pulled, low-down white-knuckled, revved up hot rodded rockabilly from Belfast's greaser kings. The biggest and baddest band to come out of Belfast. Screaming guitars and lots of attitude are what to expect from this outfit.
Ponchartrain - A four-piece outfit fronted by Paul Godden, specialising in vintage (almost acoustic) country music with Cajun, Tex-Mex and a whole mess of influences thrown in for good measure. Joining Paul in the line-up are fellow "Rimshots" John Lewis and Mandy Davidson on guitar and vocals and double bass respectively (not forgetting Paul’s wife Jean on fiddle and accordion).
The Ranch House Favourites- From Holland, formed in 1992 and influenced by the great western swing bands of the 1940's and 1950's, this 5-piece outfit achieve a sound that is at once authentic and timeless. Over the years, the band has grown to become one of the hottest European retro outfits to burn up a dance floor.
The SureShots - Countless are the legends related to this quartet from the North East of England - this band is one of the hottest rockabilly outfits on the rockin' circuit, and, beside Newcastle Brown Ale, one of the most important exports from Newcastle!
Oona Fortune and the Millionaires- From Dublin, Oona has sung with some of the most entertaining bands in Ireland. She’s put together an all-star cast of Dublin rockabillies for her Belfast appearance. Mixing up hillbilly and rockabilly, Oona kick starts Sunday afternoon’s show.

Mr Percival laid the following info on we and it sounds like something you should be makin' an effort to get to... I just saw The Chesterfield Kings just over a week ago and they brought back some eminent memories. Particularly the show in Berlin 1988 where they went "glam" and broke the hearts of the purists. Now they do The Rolling Stones better than Jagger and Co could ever expect to do and most importantly they deliver the rock (and roll) that is seemingly extinct these days in spades.
Three days of wild twisted city rock & teenage kicks!
JULY 1-2-3 SUMMER 2004. WaterFront, Rotterdam
The time has come that a long cherished juvenile dream will come true. The first Dutch International Garage Festival is in the works and is aptly named Primitive! Rotterdam’s infamous rock venue WaterFront, which has a very credible reputation concerning its involvement with elementary rock ‘n’roll, will present a festival bill featuring everything inbetween the pioneering original raw sixties sounds to the mayhem of nowadays decent garage bands. No lame retro crap, not a boring old farts’ band from the stone age, and no dull bandwagon jumpers of the so-called new garage groups. The garage music, as originated in the mid sixties, is celebrating its third major revival these days and Primitive! is all about the raw, pure exciting sound driven by teenage energy and a never ending search for the kicks in life.
Primitive! will be a wild garage punk blow out; three days of the best bands and deejays available. On the bill are amongst others: The Remains, a legendary group responsible for great godlike classics, they toured the States with The Beatles and are still worshipped by fans of sixties music all over the world. The Chesterfield Kings, the absolute rulers of the early eighties garage-revival, The Buff Medwayswith renaissance man Billy Childish, The Solarflares, who came from the ashes of The Prisoners. Also on the bill are new comers Thee Exciters from Southampton, local trash blues duo The Low Point Drains, Dutch surf & garage veterans The Firebirds, The Satelliters orthodox sixties punk from Germany, Spanish party band Dr. Explosion and Dutch garage-beat purveyors The Nederbietels. All this and The Von Bondies from Detroit and many, many more.
As if this is not enough to blow you out off your socks, the promotors of Primitive! have booked the hottest deejays to keep the dancefloor boiling: Tim Warren(U.S.A., Crypt Records), Ritchie Screaming Apple & Lutz Soundflat (Germany), Dirk Dutronic (Belgium), Jorge Explosion (Spain), Michel Da Capo, Roccalberti, Señor Alberto, Jan & Jan Prime Time and Dandy Dave (Holland) to name but only a few.
To keep people off the streets, WaterFront also has organised a movie program in cooperation with WORMbeeld. A once in a lifetime chance to see cult-movie classics from the last four decades on the big screen. And there is more to meet the eye: around the time of the festival, Showroom Mama runs an exhibition featuring custom art, record sleeves and concert poster design and the phenomenal world of fanzines from all over the globe.
