HOT CARS! HOT MUSIC! Popular \"Hot Rod Music\" saw its heyday during the late 1950\'s and early-mid 1960\'s. The most well known songs were penned and performed mainly by a small group of young Southern California musicians and part-time hot rodders in \'63 - \'64. But most of us real rockers know that as soon as the first automobile wheels began rolling off the assembly lines of Detroit, real \"hot rod\" records began rolling onto jukeboxes and DJ\'s turntables. \"Hot Rod Boogies\" waved the starting flag for many a car enthusiast\'s imagination and sparked the beginning of a musical genre all it\'s own. Authentic mid 1950\'s rockabilly music can trace much of it\'s early inspiration and fast rhythms to a teenager\'s love of driving fast cars and owning hopped-up rods. Today\'s rockabilly musicians are working wonders with the sounds that popular culture has long since forgotten or cast onto the scrap heap. Using the \'spare parts\' of vintage 50\'s sounds, classic instrumentation & some garage honed talent -and then inspired by the \"kustom\" kings of old, modern rockabilly acts have crafted some truly killer recordings, driving that original spirit blazing back onto the modern hepcat scene. Much like the original hot rodders who were often limited by materials, time and money, these 21st century rockers have fashioned streamlined, stripped down and scorching retro roots rock music with all the same fire, flash and fury as their original 1950\'s heroes.
