The Meteors
started twenty-five years ago as a reaction against
the soft rockabilly that was popular at that time
and they have now evolved to become the acknowledged
"Kings of Psychobilly".
Their audience has continually expanded, and
includes not just psychobillies, but everybody from
rockabillies and punks, to bikers, and most
alternatives. They are the original creators of
Psychobilly Music, and although they have spawned
hundreds of imitations, The Meteors are proud to be
the only pure Psychobilly band ever. Their songs are
inspired by their personal experiences and interests;
Horror, Perversion, and Death in general. They list
their hobbies as motorbikes, Rock’n’Roll, and
burying the living; amongst their heroes are Michael
Myers, Charles Manson and Mark Chapman the man who
shot John Lennon.
They have now made no
less than 40 official albums, and countless singles,
not to mention dozens of compilations and re-issues.
Many were made in their own recording studio, "In
Heaven” a fully working pro studio used by 100’s of
bands including some very famous household names and
lead-man Paul Fenech has also released six
successful solo albums. (They have also featured in
many films and numerous TV shows) Worldwide sales
have increased steadily over the years, and they
have toured almost continuously to support these
releases.
Their live show is wild and
addictive, (they have done it over thousands of
times in fact this year passing their four thousand
five hundredth) and has been seen in just about
every country in the world, including Japan, several
tours of America, and every major city in Europe and
Scandinavia even spending a sell out week in Israel,
Everybody is welcome at a Meteors show, and the band
make a point that The Meteors Live is a political or
religious free zone. People should come to enjoy the
music, and to wreck if they are brave enough! It's
wild and sweaty, but nobody gets seriously hurt.
They are supported by a
flourishing fan base, with thousands of supporters
worldwide, who are kept in touch by the website
www.kingsofpsychobilly.com which is updated daily
with tours, band news and new merchandise, and there
are several internet web sites devoted to them. And
they receive daily e-mail from fans from the 4
corners of the earth. Although there have been
line-up changes over the years, (Paul Fenech being
the only original member) the search for the perfect
combination is now over. The Meteors are a known
name, experienced, professional working band, with
an established audience. Their most recent release
is “These Evil Things” which has been very well
received by press & audience around the world.
Last year marks the 25th
anniversary of the Band and they will be out there
doing what they do best Blasting around the world
playing their
World famous live show and taking on all comers.
