“Look as Hell” is finally done, 2 years in the making, first new Deadcats material in 4 years! So we’re pretty excited about finally getting it done. As usual it covers Rockabilly, Instro-Surf, Garage-Punk, Country, and Psychobilly. There’s a guest appearance from Paul Pigat on Hank’s Cadillac, he lays down an incredible solo. This is the first Deadcats disc with horns, “Motoloco” features a couple of Trumpet parts that drive the tune. “Motoloco” was the first tune we recorded, we were hired to write and record a theme song for a new video game, that was never released. So if you’re wondering what possessed us to record a song with 1 word in the lyrics, that’s why.
This our first disc using the Upright Bass instead of our signature “Bucket Bass Sound”. You could hear the Bucket(washtub) on recordings, but it just didn’t cut it live. Sure, it looked cool lighting it on fire but it was really just a prop. Marc L’Esperance did a great job, this is by far the best sounding Deadcats disc since “Bucket of Love”. He’s a master of coaxing incredible performances from players. You can hear a good chunk of the disc on the Deadcats Main Site
