Few bands captured the excitement of the early 1980s Rockabilly revival quite like The Shakin' Pyramids. Hailing from Greenock, their frantic Rockabilly sound quickly earned a devoted following through their Virgin Records releases, television appearances and energetic live shows. Reeferbilly Blowout! catches them exactly where they belonged: on stage.
Recorded for radio at a Glasgow festival in 1981, this live performance races through favourites including Teenage Boogie, Tennessee Rock 'n' Roll, Sixteen Chicks and Wild Little Willie, alongside songs that never appeared on their studio albums. The stripped-back line-up, lightning-fast playing and close vocal harmonies create an atmosphere that's impossible to fake.
Recorded in front of a home crowd in Scotland, this 1981 broadcast captures The Shakin' Pyramids at exactly the moment their reputation was spreading far beyond Scotland. They never sounded like they were simply recreating the 1950s, attacking Rockabilly with the urgency of a punk band and the precision of seasoned acoustic musicians. It's an exhilarating performance that explains why they remain one of the most fondly remembered bands of the British Rockabilly revival.
Reeferbilly Blowout! preserves a thrilling live snapshot of one of Britain's most original Rockabilly bands, including several songs that never appeared on their studio releases.
