The Starkweather Boys are an All-American variety show. Comprised of four different Oklahoma musicians from four different sects of roots music, The Starkweather Boys joined together in 2004 to play the darn heck out of the best styles of American music ever set to acetate. Authentic explosions of Jump Blues, Rockabilly, Quick Two-Steps, Western Swing, Smokehouse Blues, 1940's R&B, Honky Tonk, Guitar Instrumentals, Hillbilly and straight up 50's Rock N' Roll comprise The Boys' high-energy sets.
" A truly tight Rockin' band of great musicianship which I really appreciated... with great songs and also whom I dug personally as great guys." - Alain Whyte - Frontman for Red Lightning, guitarist/collaborator for Morrissey
What a GREAT show y'all put on saturday night at the Blue Note! It might have been the best I've ever seen but I'm biased. All your shows are the best.
That punk song of Johnny and Kevin was incredible and really just shows the talent and versatility of the entire band!
Next time I want to hear either; 1) Surf Punks 2) Violent Femmes or... 3) Dead Kennedys
HAHAHHAAA!!
Thanks again guys for a great performance. See you soon!
