SHOCKABILLY
Formed in 1982 by guitarist Eugene Chadbourne, bass player Mark Kramer and drummer David Licht,
Shockabilly produced music that sounded like an unholy combination of the Electric Prunes
and Karlheinz Stockhausen. They specialized in outrageous cover versions - ‘Psychotic Reaction’,
‘19th Nervous Breakdown’, ‘Day Tripper’, ‘Purple Haze’ - and also more obscure items by
John Lee Hooker, John Fogerty and Syd Barrett. When the song seems to be familiar,
it gives the listener a thread on which to hang the power trio-chaos in which they liked to indulge.
Chadbourne’s background was in rock, blues, late 60s free jazz and free improvisation

In the first full-length flowering of the Shockabilly disease, the completely unique power trio
infuses Earth with what would become the kind of ammunition the group would regularly
fire at an uncaring world of listeners: guitarist Eugene Chadbourne's sociopolitical barbs
written on a sliding scale of minor chords and solos, bassist Kramer's rumbling discourse
with drummer David Licht. Earth Vs. Shockabilly is still a formidable debut chock-full
of a kind of rock music bottom feeding that is compulsively magnificent...(AllMusic)
