“50’s rock ‘n’ roll bastard child” – that just about sums up The Memphis Murder Men. Originally hailing from Pittsburgh, PA, the band evolved from the Steel City’s first horror-punk outfit – The Brain Invaders – and now call Oakland their home. These guys have fired up the stage with The Misfits, Tiger Army, The Murder Junkies, The Quakes, The Guana Batz and just about every legendary psychobilly band there is.
The group completely embodies the rock ‘n’ roll that gave birth to every punk, rockabilly, and psycho band out there and do it without regrets or fear of what “the scene” might think. Love ‘em or hate ‘em, The Memphis Murder Men are putting the last nail in the coffin of bad rock ‘n’ roll and cranking out loud and proud rhythm and blues the way the greats did.
