The Rumblejetts are from Kansas City, Mo. Just recently finish their 3nd Cd called "Cool Down Baby" on SpinJett records. The album was recorded at Sun Studio, Memphis Tenn. In 2004 they played at the 50 years of Rock and Roll in Memphis Tenn. Celebrating the radio debut of "That's All Right Mama" July 5th, 1954 by Elvis, Scotty and Bill. Catch these guys in a town near you this year!!!! Go Cat Go! CD Review of "Roostina" from "Now Dig This" Music often tends to go around in circles. Back in the early 1980’s, The Stray Cats brought a new dimension to the rockabilly scene from America. They couldn’t get arrested over there so they brought their music to Europe and found an audience very willing to listen to their new sounds alongside those of The Polecats, The Blue Cats etc. Nowadays, bands like that are a bit thin on the ground, particularly in the UK, where what is left of the scene seems to have gone retro to more authentic adaptations. It would seem that, with bands like The Rumblejetts, America is now ready to accept a more modernistic approach. The Rumblejetts hail from Kansas City and feature Pedro Mora on upright bass and vocals, Jim Holopter on lead guitar and Judd Kite on drums. They write much of their own material with eight of the ten titles featured here being self-penned. The album was cut at Sun Studio in Memphis with James Lott at the helm and the results is a first class recording which, I’m sure, will pick up a lot of fans, particularly after the band’s Green Bay appearance. It begins in fine style with the opening track, "Clickity Clack 550 is Back", a frantic slap-bass rockabilly with the spirit of Chuck Berry running through it. I really like this one. "Roostina" has a more up tempo country feel to it with the punchline, "Oh Rostina, I mistook you for a cock." Hmmm… Still, it’s a great track and one that I’m sure goes down well at their gigs. All their songs, from "Road Rockets" and "That Girl is Death" to "Jagged Bottle", have a great slant to them and are full of energy - "reborn energy" the accompanying blurb tells us. Their street cred cannot be questioned with such material. The two non originals are Bill Allen’s "Please Give Me Something" and Elvis, "I Don’t Care If The Sun Don’t Shine", both of which work well. This is a highly entertaining collection from a very talented American band. Steve Aynsley "Non Dig This" Magazine, UK Cd "Roostina" available @ CDBABY.
