The Hillbilly Moon Explosion "Bourgeois Baby" 2004

Here`s the great second full-length album from the swiss (from the heart of Zurich) Hillbilly Moon Explosion! A unique band with a very own sound, mixing 50`s Rockabilly/Hillbilly with 60`s girl group vocals and Rock And Roll!"It's all the rage to play vintage music with the spirit of tomorrow. Garage rocker Jack White parties with country-Grandma Loretta Lynn – the world's best band from Zurich can simply state: Been there done that. From day one The Hillbilly Moon Explosion have presented ancient rockabilly with punk rock kick: Roaring guitars, thumping bass, sexy squeaks and howls – fresh, bold, baaad." (Facts 27.5.2004)
No newcomers to glamorous world of smoke-filled clubs and bad salaries, the musicians have backgrounds as varied as punk, rockabilly, alt-pop, hardcore and country:
Bandleader/producer/unrepetant Brit OLIVER BARONI (ex-Hillbilly Headhunters) is keen on Tennessee and Bourbon whiskey and is one of the few people who still wear Edwardian brothel creepers. He plays the slap bass and shares vocal chores with the amazing EMANUELA HUTTER. Cult icon Emanuela (ex-M.D.Moon) recalls her first musical influence as The Ronettes on the juke box in her parents' diner and also doubles on rhythm guitar. PATRICK GESÉR, strangler of various vintage guitars, plays from subtle to supersonic. He likes Big Bill Broonzy and doesn't like Gary Moore. LUKE "THE PUKE" WEYERMANN (ex-Crank/ex-Mona Lisa Overdrive), drummer, joker and smoker, would not be seen dead without plenty of Dax hair grease. He's into beer, Buddy Rich and various other things that begin with 'b'.
