Double Bass Fave Youtube vids - Rockabilly and such

[Gearhead43]

I thought I'd liven up this place and maybe turn some cats onto some good music also by posting some of my favorite vids of current / recent Rockabilly and related bands. These will be well known to Rockabillybass.com forum cats, but not to alot of folks who may wander in here, or those new to the genre.

First, The Paladins: (circa late 80s early 90s?)



This is just barely the tip of the iceburg. This is all fairly current stuff.

Guys feel free to add to this thread, current bands or classics, I don't care. Enjoy.

Joe Fick is pretty entertaining to watch. This clip from him playing with his old band, The Dempseys, is great:

 

[Carl Cobra]

Taggy tones!!!

 

[BigEasy]

Not sure if you would call it Rockabilly or Punkabilly? Its Matt Freeman from Rancids side project, Devils Brigade.

Love The Paladins... Great tone Dave Gonzalez gets on that Guild.
Sings real well, too. I played in a Rockabilly band in the late 90's and would do so again in a heartbeat. )-(

Twistin Tarantulas (detroit group that have been playing for over a decade)

Those are great Gearhead.

Here are two vids that to me capture the essence of rockabilly energy with two great bass players on each, but sharing the same front man, the vibrating, shaking and psycho-traditional late great Ray Condo...

This one from the Art Fein Poker Party series, with his long time jump swing bass player,
Clive Jackson, doing 'Ice Cold Water'. Love this one...

And this one with none other than Peter Turland on bass. This vid is the essence of rockabilly energy for me. 'Hadacillin'. Great camera work on Ray also. Warning - don't watch this right before bedtime. You'll never sleep...

Ray Condo was the real deal. He's probably still got some shake left in him - may he RIP.

 

[Sputter]

I'd be remiss if I didn't also post this one from an energy standpoint. Love Imelda's performance here, of course Daryl Higham rocked guitar in the cradle, and Al Gare on bass who makes his doghouse just jump and swing...

Imelda May - Don't Do Me No Wrong (cover) - Boardwalk - 2.12.08 - YouTube

That's it. Not going to post more vids. Gotta show restraint!

 

[GasolineJunkie]

Top Cats - Baby doll

Cool bass player, I'm gonna try the "standing ON the bass technique" too when I'm brave enough

 

[jpf9]

Love that Palladin stuff!! & Imelda's Bass Man Al Gare is smokin'! In the LA area , John 'Spazz' Hatton w/ Brian Setzer's Orchestra is Outstanding as well! thnx 4 turning me on to all the gr8 vids Yo!

 

[MarkoYYZ]
