Overview

While New Wave pop music was dominating the charts in the early 1980s, one band made up of a trio of throwback-loving musicians from the suburbs of Massapequa, Long Island--

guitarist/singer Brian Setzer, drummer Slim Jim Phantom, and bassist Lee Rocker--returned rockabilly to the pop charts with their Top 10 singles "Rock This Town," "Stray Cat Strut," and

"(She's) Sexy + 17" as the Stray Cats. Over forty years and many classic studio and live albums later, the Stray Cats still epitomize the coolness of the founding fathers of rock and roll that never goes out of style.

Howling to the Moonlight on a Hot Summer Night: The Story of the Stray Cats tells the full story of the band's history and catalog as musicians, celebrating the band as one of the most successful rock revival groups in the early phenomenon years of MTV, one who continues to enjoy long-lived popularity in rockabilly culture.
