Inspired by B-movies and grotesque comics of the 1950s, the Koffin Kats are one of the main purveyors of the modern psychobilly scene. Blending Gene Vincent, the Cramps, the Misfits, and Buffalo legends the Quakes, they fit in comfortably with newer bands such as Nekromantix and Demented Are Go! Lead vocalist Vic Victor is a self confessed “gearhead” who croons like Dave Vanian and Glenn Danzig once did while he slaps his stand up bass like he has a hellhound on his trail. Filled with booze, broken hearts and a firmly intact horror image, the Koffin Kats serve up a blend of 1950s rock and roll with the spirit of 1977 punk. Fans of either genre will easily be impressed. The Koffin Kats perform at Mohawk Place on Saturday (Sept. 29) starting at 9pm. Opening is Matty B & the Dirty Pickles with Lower Town Trio.
