The Stray Cats Reunite For 2018 Concert

The Stray Cats

Rockabilly fans rejoice: The Stray Cats are reuniting to perform their first North American performance in 10 years. The original trio of Brian Setzer, Slim Jim Phantom, and Lee Rocker will be performing at the Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekend on Saturday, April 21st.

The band, known for hits like “Stray Cat Strut” and “Rock This Town”, got their start back in 1979. “Just a string bass, a guitar and a drum, Stray Cats are back to show em how it’s done,” Rocker said of the show. “39 years after our first gigs, we’re back! Can’t wait to Rock again with my brothers Brian and Slim.”

It’s unclear whether there will be more shows, a tour, or an album in the works. We’ll keep you updated as details emerge.
