Slim Jim Phantom - Superstar Rockabilly Icon and Stray Cat skinsman and Neal X - Guitarist of million-selling, futuristic glam-rock potentates Sigue Sigue Sputnik have joined with hot slappin’ Double Bass supremo Phil Bloomberg from The Polecats to bring you STARCAT.
Like the screech of a Cadillac tearing out of nowhere STARCAT are the forever marriage of the primitive and sophisticated that is rock 'n’ roll. a high octane mix of their own global hits, rock 'n' roll classics and a couple of wild card surprises.
STARCAT reinvent the shimmer and the throb. the tingle of illicit pleasure awakened by the sin-drenched echo of '50s guitars, the pounding tribal beat of 80's teenage deliquents and rock 'n' rolled the whole thing into a high energy 21st Century Rock ’n’ Roll extravaganza...
Slim Jim Phantom has secured his place as a true rock-n-roll icon. As the legendary drummer for the Stray Cats, Phantom, alongside band mates Brian Setzer and Lee Rocker, spearheaded the neo-rockabilly movement of the early 80s. Over 40 years and millions of record sales later and Slim Jim Phantom continues to inspire and excite audiences worldwide. With a sound, style and image that remain as fresh today as they ever were, Phantom has cemented his place among rock royalty.
Phil Polecat is the bass player of The Polecats. In 1981 they released their debut LP “Polecats are go” produced by Dave Edmunds - a jewel which every fan of the band should have. They hit the Top 40 alongside the Stray Cats with their take on Bowie's “John I’m only Dancing”.
Neal X is the former guitarist with Electro Glam potentates Sigue Sigue Sputnik. They had a Top 10 hit in 28 countries with "Love Missile F1-11" in 1986. He has worked as a sideman for Marc Almond since the '90s, more recently he's been Glen Matlock's go to guitarist as well as forming "nearly all-girl" rockabilly outfit The Montecristos who released their debut album "Born to Rock 'N' Roll" in 2015.
