Who are the Corpse Show Creeps? A sound that was best described by one journalist as Elvis meets Billy Idol on Halloween.·They create this sound by blending 50's Rockabilly and a more modern Rock'n'Roll style. Corpse Show Creeps capture the essence of what is lacking in the American music scene today.
On a cold Minneapolis December night 2004 Corpse Show Creeps were born. With the Original line up of Jordy (Guitar and vocals), Matt (More Gore Von Horror on Upright bass), and Dylan (Skitzo the kid on drums) they Shredded through the local basements and bars until Jordy left in late 2005 to move west. The lineup was then filled with Mutt on Guitar and lead vocals just in time to record the first real Demo in a quality studio. These four tracks were recorded in the summer of 2006 simply titled "IV".
With furthermore local shows getting bigger and bigger their sound was missing something· Enter Tomoya(Tomo) Yoshida, a Japanese Rock n Roll God, who had been in the states for merely years was now part of the band. But Tomo was no stranger to Rock'n'Roll. Back home in Tokyo he was in the famed band Colde Curkit·who were signed to EMI Japan. Thanks to the major label connections and the balls to back it up they shared the stage with such artists as Brian Setzer, and Green Day. Shortly after he joined the band, Corpse Show Creeps were asked to open for RANCID in Minneapolis, MN September 2006. With over 3000 people in attendance the show was a complete success.
With Demos in hand they boldly hit the road in early fall of 2006 on their first Midwest tour. Twelve days later they returned to Minneapolis with a grasp of the Rock'n'Roll lifestyle and a newly found thirst for the road. Shortly after their return they went in the studio to record the first full length album "Blackblood Call". Little did they know while they were in Austin, TX they had caught the ear of a PsychobillyUS (a Hairball8 sub-label ) representative who had liked what he heard. Weeks later a contract was on the table to release Blackblood Call·May of 2007.
Corpse Show Creeps not waiting for the album to hit stores went on the road again in January 2007 for a 3 week tour of the Midwest and West coast. After returning from tour a great success, their love for the road only snowballed into another tour in May 2007. New upright bassist Adam "F Bomb" Boatright, replaces Matt permanently after leaving the band to pursue his Tattooing career. On this month long tour they played with such bands as Mad Sin, Koffin Kats (PsychobillyUS), and the Chop Tops. In August they were on the road in support of the Hollywood Showdown, a huge Psychobilly festival on Labor Day weekend at the Knitting Factory in Hollywood, CA. This time playing with such Psychobilly pioneers as Guana Batz, and the Frantic Flintstones.
All this touring impressed Sparrow Guitars and ElectroVoice into sponsoring the band. Now booking another US tour in April of 08 it's hard to say what Corpse Show Creeps will accomplish this year. With plans for a new album and endless tours nothing can stop them now!
