One of my college friends in the early 80s had copies of the first UK albums he let me borrow. I was hooked immediately. Over the years I've collected some memorabilia and a lot of their records including several obscurities with otherwise unreleased songs. The gem of my memorabilia collection is an application for the use of the Stray Cats name and logo on clothing as a registered trademark, signed by all 3 guys with their actual, legal names.

Not unfamiliar with the influences but I really began to listen. Damn Setzer was so young and listen to how fully formed those songs were. Great Stuff.

It seems that Fridays actually did a better job at booking live musical acts than Saturday Night Live when you look back on it. It did have the advantage of being in the best part of the 80s so there was were plenty of new acts that woudl become legends like DEVO, the Clash, and these guys who were just starting to get noticed.

Mais Brian et ces groupes Stray Cats et Rockabilly riot Ou Setzer jazz band sont toujours les numéros 1 Brian et ces musiciens formidables font des tournées sold out partout dans le monde. Brian n est pas un guitariste sous estimé ces les nanars qui disent ça il est le meilleur et sans égale. Beaucoup d admiration pour Brian qui est très intelligent.
