Crazy Rocket Fuel is a four-person rockabilly band. Some of the set is original work. This review is based upon a 90 minute set played at Kochanski’s in October 2022 for a charity event. This may not be a typical set.
Rockabilly is an early style of rock and roll that originated in the early 1950s in the south. Very early Elvis is a prime example. The Crazy Rocket Fuel set certainly skewed from typical rockabilly during numerous songs. The overall sound to the set sounded like a punk band emulating rockabilly – punkabilly?
Swing and blues dancers could partner dance to about half of the set. Dancers with a greater range of styles could likely dance to about 3/4 of the songs. The energy was upbeat and engaging throughout.
