The Resurrection of The Crazed
Early Psychobilly / Psych(e)billy - Book - by Paul Wainwright
(2023)
Join the author as he journeys back to those mutant rockin’,
venue wreckin’, snakebite sodden days of the Psychobilly/neo-
Rockabilly scene of the 80’s. His fanzine ‘The Crazed’ was right
there, reporting on the scene as it grew and writing about bands
such as The Meteors, GuanaBatz, Demented Are Go, King Kurt,
Long Tall Texans and Restless.
Travel back through those articles and interviews and revisit the
experience. Enjoy noisy nights at The Klub Foot, mecca of all
things Psychobilly, where many of these interviews were
conducted after sweaty gigs. Read the bands own words, full of
enthusiasm, excitement and optimism about what the future
might hold, and discover what it was like to produce and edit a
fanzine back then.
the Psychobilly, Garage and Rockabilly scene. He couldn’t play an
instrument and really didn’t have the patience to learn but really
wanted to get recognised within the scene. He had an inquisitive mind
and decided to attempt to produce a fanzine which would give him the
opportunity to meet and question many of the bands whose records
he was so religiously buying.
The first interview he conducted was with arguably the biggest
Psychobilly band in England - The Meteors. This set-in motion a series
of interviews with other bands and musicians within the scene, many
of whom had not been given any exposure from the English music
press.
His fanzine was called ‘The Crazed’ and lasted for just four issues, but
featured interviews with quite a few of the leading 80’s
Psychobilly/Rockabilly bands, such as The Meteors, GuanaBatz,
Demented Are Go, Restless and more.
