was in The stray cats and now has his own
Brian Setzer, former lead singer of the fantastic 80's Rockabilly band, The Stray Cats, is out on hs own with his new band, The Brian Setzer Orchestra.
In the 1980s, Setzer fronted the popular rockabilly band, Stray Cats. Stray Cats caught America's attention with the 1982 album Built for Speed, which included the two Top Ten hits, "Rock This Town" (#9) and "Stray Cat Strut" (#3), as well as with the follow-up 1983 album Rant 'N Rave, which included the two successful singles "(She's) Sexy + 17" (#5), and "I Won't Stand In Your Way" (#35).
In the 1990s, Setzer led a comeback for swing music and big band music, when he formed The Brian Setzer Orchestra. The band has released 6 albums to date and two live DVDs. This group had one hit, "Jump, Jive, and Wail" around the same time songs like the Cherry Poppin' Daddies' "Zoot Suit Riot" had been received favorably in mainstream America.
Brian Setzer also recorded some solo albums during Stray Cats' break in the 1980s along with some in the 1990s. In 2001 he released an album titled Ignition with his band '68 Comeback Special. A tribute album titled Rockabilly Riot Vol. 1: A Tribute To Sun Records was released on July 26, 2005, in the United States. His latest Record, 13, was released in October 2006.

His lastest band was Brian Setzer Orchestra. His first band was The Stray Cats. They were a popular band in the 80s with such hits as Sexy and 17, Stray Cats Strut, and Rock This Town

I think he's still doing stuff. I think he's mostly doing solo stuff, and stuff with the Brian Setzer Orchestra. Before that, he was in The Stray Cats in the '80s, and in a band called Bloodless Pharoahs. I think he put out a solo CD this year.

And The Brian Setzer Orchestra which had a hit with "Jump, Jive and Wail" in that short lived revival of 40's jump music.
Brian recently did a cover album of Sun Records rock-a-billy songs that was fabulous. Check it out.
His Xmas album is a lot of fun too.

no longer particularly, the only fairly undesirable names are those you are able to no longer pronounce or you forget. Even the stupid names are solid see you later as you are able to bear in mind them to bypass purchase the CD. no longer something worse than understanding approximately this large band whose call you are able to no longer look to bear in mind. whether I could admit in specific circumstances you experience like a gadget soliciting for some unusual call, like Lesbian Dopeheads on Mopeds.

You've got the WORST taste in music and would have the WORST taste in entertainment if you liked talentless reality shows! Listen to good music like ICP!
