Say you are a successful rock n roller and you want to “mix it up” with a side project. Wouldn’t it be cool to put together a band where you play only the music of your early, formative years? For my thirty-something peers, that would sound something like Scorpions meets Soundgarden with some domestic keg beer thrown in. For three long-time rockers, their vision is The Head Cat: a recent collaboration of Lemmy Kilmister (Motorhead), Slim Jim Phantom (The Stray Cats) and Danny B. Harvey (Rockats, 13 Cats, Lonesome Spurs) playing a fuzzed-out rockabilly mix of Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly and Elvis covers… or, as Lemmy so eloquently described it as, “the shit that got me started.”
“Really?” was my initial response to this notion of their live performance at Seattle’s El Corazon. But hell, I can’t pass up a Lemmy encounter!
The crowd could be best described as diverse: a mixture of pompadour’d greasers, punks, long-hair rockers, Gypsy Joker bike gang members, benign pedestrians, a few junkies/crack heads, and then a handful of couples who heard there was a rockabilly show and wanted to try out their swing dancing skills recently acquired on a Caribbean cruise. I was fascinated by the trashed rockabilly girls who spent an inordinate amount of time fussing over their retro outfits and comparing Bettie Page tats in the bathroom.
