Gothabilly Supergroup THE 69 CATS Unleash Their Third Single “(Let’s Go) Psycho” From Forthcoming Album SEVEN YEAR ITCH!
Hot on the spiky red heels of their blockbuster singles “Hollywood’s Bleeding” and “She’s Hot” comes the rip roaring third single from The 69 Cats’ much anticipated new album, Seven Year Itch! Featuring the distinctive baritone voice of Jyrki 69, the mindblowing guitar work of Danny B. Harvey and a rhythm section made in Hell with Kim Nekroman on stand-up bass and The Damned’s Rat Scabies on drums, this new album is set to launch its worldwide assault in just a few short weeks.
For the third teaser single, the band has chosen “(Let’s Go) Psycho,” a song that actually has its origin over 20 years ago. As Harvey explains, “‘(Let’s Go) Psycho’ was a song I wrote with Australian Psychobilly / Rockabilly artist Brigitte Handley in 2000 when she came over to the States to play some shows and enlisted me as her guitarist & band leader. Although she had started out as a Rockabilly artist she had musically moved more toward Psychobilly and people started complaining that she was too loud, too fast. In response I said “f*ck them” and told her we should write a song about her transition from nice rockabilly filly to Crazy Psycho Siren. So she and I sat up late at Tim Polecat’s apartment, where she was staying, and wrote the song. Before she left to return to Sidney we went into the studio and cut it along with 5 other tracks. On the 69 Cats version I managed to leave her background vocals from the original recording so that’s her signing with Jyrki. I told her she makes a guest appearance on our song on the 69 Cats album and she was very happy and loved the final track when she heard it.”
As for lead vocalist, Jyrki 69, he sums up the impact of the track saying “I cannot wait to play this live! It’s a true crowd mover. Slam dance & bop!”
