Their first CD was released in the fall of on Cleopatra records to critical acclaim. He is also well known as a founding member of the "take no Prisoners" rock'n'roll trio the Headcat. They have two records out on Cleopatra Records. The most important new musical project Danny B. She is none other than the niece of the "Killer" Jerry Lee Lewis and it was at his concert that Danny B first saw Annie Marie opening the show for the rock'n'roll icon.

They have their first duo Cd coming out in the Fall of and an extensive tour set up. His classes were fascinating and the memories were unforgettable. We improvised, we listened to old jazz records and talked about music. Despite these incredible experiences, I found myself out of place. The big city overwhelmed me. In England, in the early eighties, there was a resurgence of Rockabilly.

I met him in Los Angeles and a special chemistry emerged. At that time, Levi had left the Rockats. I joined his new band, the Ripchords, and went to London. Levi auditioned Brian Setzerfrom Stray Cats, but despite a mutual interest, he did not join the band. InThe Rockats hired me for my versatility with the guitar after seeing me in the Ripchords.

We toured, shot videos and included songs in the remake of Where the Boys Are. We spent a very good month in Miami, recording four songs for the soundtrack of this cult film in a spectacular studio. At that time, our manager had a decision that did not convince any of us: to change our name. That was when we moved to MCA. Secret Hearts was born with a new album in which I played all the guitar parts.

It was the worst experience I lived recording a record. The album was also called Secret Heartsbut nothing was the same and the band broke up. I left the Rockats and was hired on Twenty Flight Rockers in We were managed by former Clash manager, Bernie Rhodes. Tim had had a huge success with The Polecats when he was just 15 years old.

Slim and I had a friendship and mutual admiration. His band, Stray Catshad taken the Rockabilly to another level. We also talked to my old friend Smutty Smithwho had shown his talent with the double bass with the Rockats. All of us wanted to have fun playing and decided to create the 13 Cats. In the film appears three songs of mine and two of the 13 Catswhich in are published as part of our first LP, In the Beginning.

But was an intense year, in which I lived the beginning of another incredible adventure. I met Lemmy in England in the 80s. He was a great guy, very peculiar but very funny. In 99, we were at a time when we wanted to enjoy music with no pretensions. We got together with Slim to record a tribute to Elvis Presley. Elvis was a passion that the three of us shared when we recorded Swing Cats.

One of the musical achievements of which I am most proud is to have produced and played in was the last recording session of the great Johnny Ramone. Johnny has been one of the guys I have most respected in the music industry. Away from drugs or the egos of other musicians, only the passion for music moved him. He was a great person with an enormous talent to create rhythms.

It was a unique moment. Albums [ edit ]. Singles [ edit ]. Compilation albums [ edit ]. References [ edit ]. May 7, Retrieved May 8, April 12, Retrieved November 19, May 14, January 24, Former members [ edit ].
