About Me

Australias longest running Rockabilly Band The Straight 8s come red-hot and rockin’. Aside from the Southern fried Rockabilly the Straight 8's serve up a platter of raw R’n’R and country boogie with a dash of house rockin' R’n’B. The 24 carat gold voice belongs to none other than Victor O'Neil flanked by the guitar pickin’ of the ever brillaint Dave "the kid" Cantrell and the bullet proof rhythm section comprised of resident shuffler Ray "TT Slim" Tully on skins and Snappy Tom workin’ out on the dog house and Fender bass

The Straight 8's latest album "STILL RUNNIN' LATE" features songs from the bands current live set and gems from their 25 year history!!.
