About Me

SKUNK ROCK !!! This is the One and Only, Legendary Hobo Jones, the Drunk and Disorderly front man/singer and tea-chest bass player for off the rails skiffle band "Hobo Jones and the Junkyard Dogs" (Checkout the bands myspace and blogs at www.myspace.com/junkyarddogs which also has links to their main website www.hobojones.com). He has travelled the world playing Rock 'n' Roll, Rockabilly and Skiffle since the early fiftys and has been the main influence to such recording artist as Elvis, Johnny Cash, Lonnie Donigan, Buddy Holly, Bill Haley, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Doors, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Motorhead, AC/DC, The Ramones, The Clash, The Sex Pistols, The Cramps, The Straycats, The Meteors, Green Day and Val Doonican the list is endless......................He is also widely accredited as the creator of "SKUNK ROCK" (Simply known as "SKUNK")and "SKUNKABILLY". "SKUNK" is is a cross over of Skiffle and Punk, which to put it plainly, is to play punk songs to a skiffle rhythm. "SKUNKABILLY" is basicaly the same as "SKUNK", but instead of the Hardcore Leftwing socio-political stance of "SKUNK" it has opted for a far more frivolous lyrical content, with fiftys style references to Hot Rods, Pinup Girls, Gambling, Drinking, 16 year old Girls in bobby socks, Suede shoes of varying colours, Cadillacs (brand new or other), Clocks, Aligators, Cats, Whisky and general rebelious allnight partying etc.

As you all know, we were busking at The Levellers' Beautiful Days festival this year. (www.beautifuldays.org) We were the resident band at the Junk & Disorderly stall (thanks Mad Iccy) and were wandering around playing anything and everything we could find! If you were lucky enough to catch one of our many performances and enjoyed what you saw, please leave a message on the Levellers forum, and maybe we'll get to play in the Big Top next year. Cheers....BBBUUURRRPPP!!!
