onemanband Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 Saw a rockabilly three piece "Katmen" on Jools Holland about a month ago, thought they were fantastic, worth a night out to see anytime. Anyway, going to see George Thorogood & The Destroyers; Sunday night, Symphony Hall, Birmingham and, guess who the support act is............yeah, Katmen............RESULT !! Can't wait, a whole night of in yer' face, three chords, twelve bars, rock n' roll !!! Quote

borisbrain Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 I'll be there too, Oneman. Should be a belter BB Quote
voxpop Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 [quote name='RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE' timestamp='1371918533' post='2119611'] Thorogood rocks! Have fun [/quote] +1 from me, great music. Quote
Jacqueslemac Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 Just watched it. Katmen is the band behind Imelda May. Remember the ace bass solo in Johnny Got a Boom Boom? That was him. The guitarist - Darryl Higham - is/was married to Imelda. I saw his band years ago in a support slot and (anorak warning) recognised his Peavey Rockingham signature guitar before he came on stage! Coupled with the fabulous George Thorogood it should be a fantastic show. Quote

George Thorogood was thoroly good, (get it ). He must be nearly as old as me and it's nice to see him still rocking with the best of 'em!! 1hr45min. show, great band, great show, great night out.......result!!

Cat Burrito Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 KatMen are back on tour in September. Well worth watching. It's been implied but to be clear it's only Darrel (Imelda's husband) and Al from Imelda May's band with Slim Jim Phantom being from, well practically everyone else! Amazing band and my gig of the year for me. Quote
