A Smokin’ Rockabilly New Years Eve

A Smokin’ Rockabilly New Years Eve!

at the Crystal Ballroom inside Golden Sails Hotel, Long Beach.

The Paladins were one of the leading lights in the California roots and rockabilly music scene of the early ’80s, along with such rockin’ bands as Los Lobos and the Blasters.

The band was formed by guitarist/vocalist Dave Gonzalez and bassist Thomas Yearsley while they were attending high school in San Diego in the late ’70s. With their old-school approach to rockin’ R&B, blues and rockabilly, the Paladins earned a strong following, as well as opening for such bands as X, the Blasters, the Stray Cats and the Fabulous Thunderbirds – whose vocalist, Kim Wilson, produced the band’s 1986 self-titled debut album.

The Polecats are an English rockabilly band formed at the end of the 1970s, and the original leader was vocalist Tim Polecat. The Polecats played rockabilly with a “punk sense of anarchy” and helped revive the genre for a new generation in the early ’80s.
