Psychobilly Forum ~ View topic - Hillbilly Moon Explosion with a new single featuring Sparky

The Hillbilly Moon Explosion have a new album coming up called Buy, Beg or Steal

· Roots rock revivalists with their fourth studio album!
· Now surfaced from the rockabilly underground, touring across Europe, on TV, supporting Jeff Beck and turning down Eurovision.
· Forthcoming single features duet by HME's Emanuela and 'Sparky' of Demented Are Go; with a new video filmed.

The Hillbilly Moon Explosion are a pan-European rock’n’roll band with much flair and a fast growing fan-base. They’re fronted by the Italian-Swiss songstress Emanuela Hutter and English exile singer and slap bassist Oliver Baroni, ably backed by English guitarist Duncan James and Swiss drummer Luke 'The Puke' Weyermann.

Emerging from the rockabilly scene in their home base of Zurich, they recently turned down an invitation to be the Swiss Eurovision entry. Known to some for their mini-hit ‘Johnny Are You Gay?’, a recent retrospective has propelled them gigging across Europe, including TV shows and a tour supporting Jeff Beck climaxing at the legendary Paris Olympia. A viral Cinéma vérité video from that album has attracted over 50,000 views: http://youtu.be/bANSizYxh-w

A single ‘My Love For Evermore’ precedes the album, on 7” and download. It’s a dark duet by Emanuela and guest Spark Phillips of infamous, wayward psychobilly band Demented Are Go, assisted by Geraint Watkins on organ, and backed with a rockabilly guitar cover of ‘Enola Gay’. A new ‘Bonnie & Clyde style’ video was filmed over 3 days and will be launched on the single release date. A trailer for the video is here: http://youtu.be/NwWQoicyJRw

The album is produced by Greg Townson of US band The Hi-Risers, and recorded in London at Goldtop Studio, Camden last year. (Goldtop Studio has now relocated to Gravity Shack, Tooting.)

TRACKS: - Buy Beg or Steal, Broken Heart, She Kicked Me To The Curb, Natascia, Trouble & Strife, My Love For Evermore (with Sparky), Night of the Living Ted, Imagine A World, Goin’ To Milano, Touch Me, Rock’n’Roll Girl, Chalk Farm Breakdown, Enola Gay. 13 tracks.

It's good stuff and causing quite a stir, seems everybody and their dog wants a copy. I was sceptical at first with Sparks doing guest vocals, but it really works Smile
