The Meteors started twenty years ago as an antidote to the soft rockabilly
that was popular at that time and they have now evolved into their own personal
brand of music - PSYCHOBILLY. (Look it up in the Encyclopedia of Rock) - and
The Meteors are Kings of it !
Their audience has steadily expanded, as has their acknowledged influece on
scores of other bands, and includes not just psychobillies, but everybody from
rockabillies and punks, to bikers, skinheads and most alternatives. They are
the original creators of Psychobilly Music, and although they have spawned
hundreds of imitations, The Meteors are proud to be the only pure psychobilly
band ever. Their songs inspiration comes from many sources and interests; Horror,
Perversion, Rock'n'Roll, B-Movie sci-fi themes. They list their hobbies as
motorbikes, rock'n'roll, and burying the living, and their heroes as Michael
Myers and Charles Manson.
They have now made dozens of official albums, (a complete discography is enclosed)
and countless singles, not to mention dozens of compilations and re-issues.
Many were made in their own commercial recording studio, "In Heaven",which
I set in a westcountry church. Lead-man Paul Fenech has also released three
solo albums. World-wide sales have increased steadily over the years, and they
have toured almost continuously to support these releases.
They have even been seen on the big screen more than once, most recently as
they played "The Bitch Boys" in the British romantic comedy "Don't Go Breaking
My Heart" alongside ER hunk Anthony Edwards and Jenny Seagrove. (Who would
have evr put Elton John and The Meteors on the same CD?) They have also contributed
tracks to various horror video releases.
Their live show is wild and addictive, (they have done it over thousands of
times) and has been seen in just about every country in the world, including
Japan, Israel and several successful tours of America, and every major city
in Europe and Scandinavia. Everybody is welcome at a Meteors show, and the
band make a point that The Meteors Live is a political or religious free zone.
People should come to enjoy the music, and to wreck if they are brave enough!
It's wild and sweaty, but nobody gets hurt.
They are supported by a flourishing fan club, with thousands of members worldwide,
each of who get free regular letters about releases, tours, band news and new
merchandise, and there are several Internet web sites devoted to them. Their
own site is worth a visit at:
www.wreckingit.com/meteors .(They
have been voted Number One Band, and Number One Song, continuously for the
last year and a half on The Psychobilly Homepage) and they receive daily e-mail
from fans from every corner of the earth.
Although there have been line-up changes over the years, (Paul Fenech being
the only original member) the search for the perfect combination is now over,
as the current line-up has been the longest lasting musical partnership, far
outlasting and proving much more fruitful than any of the previous combinations.
The Meteors are a known name, experienced, professional working band, with
an established audience. Their most recent release is "The Meteors Versus The
World"
