Available Now: smarturl.it/straycats81DVD
When the Stray Cats rolled into Montreux in July 1981 they were one of the hottest properties around. They had 3 hit singles and a UK top 10 album already under their belts along with a string of headlining concerts, all of which had come since their relocation from New York to London in 1980. The band's combination of original songs and rockabilly classics with a punk attitude and style had caught the moment to perfection. Added to this were their considerable musical accomplishments and knack for songwriting. All in all it was a heady concoction and the crowd in Montreux reacted with near hysterical excitement, something rarely seen in what is usually a polite and reserved audience. This is the Stray Cats at their peak. Simply unmissable.

@@fostexfan160 He's just not as recognizeable as maybe Eric Clapton or David Gilmour these days. Rockabilly is not for everyone, I mean.. I love it, especially these guys, but I'm one of those who are totally dissapointed with todays music overall. I wish people just would go back to the roots and listen to the art of music produced by these old Rock'n'Roll and Rockabilly bands.

Interesting enough, if you listen carefully, you might discover that the Stray Cat Strut originally came out decades before the Stray Cats changed the lyrics. It was originally a children’s tune called “The Cat Came Back”.

Saw these boys live in London at around this time. It was a great show, and they play just as well live as on the record. But there is even more energy live because of the audience. Great band.

I had a DJ friend who worked late at night. When this song would begin to play i would call the back line of the station and ask him to play it. Got it back to back at least once a weekend. He made their radio ads so was playing big reel to reel tapes and not listening. 😂 One of my all time favorite songs and bands. 🎉
