"It's a tribute in a lot of ways," Rocker (nee Leon Drucker) tells Billboard. "It's a song I wrote over the last couple of months. I was thinking about my career with 40 years of Stray Cats and all of that and thinking about the upright bass, which is what started this thing. It takes me back to the opening line of the song -- which is "Took me 'round the world and I changed my name/found a little fortune, found a little fame/Doin' the dog house shuffle" -- which is right out of my story. Dog House is what they call the upright bass, so it's a tribute to the bass itself and a lot of the players that I came up listening to." Some of those players -- including Elvis Presley's Bill Black, Willie Dixon, Fred Maddox, the Tennessee Three's Marshall Grant, Carl Perkins' brother Clayton and Al Rex of Bill Haley & His Comets -- are featured in the "Dog House Shuffle" video, along with cartoon animations and studio footage of Rocker and his band recording the track.

Following his gig with Sabbath Gillen briefly worked w/Ex Thin Lizzy/Whitesnake Guitarist: John Sykes in Blue Murder but eventually Gillen left Blue Murder and formed BadLands w/Ex Ozzy Osbourne/Ratt Guitarist: Jake E.

After Ray Gillen's death BADLANDS released a 3rd and final album called DUSK which was an album's worth of material of unreleased studio outakes.

LEE ROCKER made his mark singing, playing, standing on, spinning and rocking his giant upright bass as a founding member (along with Brian Setzer and Slim Jim Phantom), of the Grammy nominated music group The Stray Cats, who sold over 10 million albums, garnered 23 gold and platinum certified records, and were music video pioneers of the MTV. The Stray Cat’s worldwide mega hits “Stray Cat Strut”, “Sexy and Seventeen” and “Rock this Town” have become a part of the fabric of rock and roll. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has included “Rock this Town” as one of the 500 most important songs in rock. From the cover of the Rolling Stone magazine, to appearing on Saturday Night Live, to headlining the US Festival and touring with the Rolling Stones, LEE ROCKER has seen and done it all. In addition to The Stray Cats and the Rolling Stones, Rocker has toured and performed with George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Willie Nelson, Leon Russell, and John Fogerty. In 1982 Rocker and his father Stanley Drucker, (classical clarinetist) both received Grammy nominations; this was something that has only occurred twice in the history of the Grammy Awards.

    STRAY CATS – 03. Juli 2019 – Berlin, Columbiahalle – Support: MESSER CHUPS – Text: Holger Ott Eine der wenigen Bands, die noch nicht auf meiner Wunschliste abgehakt ist, gastiert zum 40. Bühnenjubiläum in der Hauptstadt und ich möchte unbedingt bei diesem Ereignis dabei sein. Ja, die STRAY CATS, Mitbegründer des Neo-Rockabilly, haben auch schon einige Jahre auf dem Buckel, sind noch immer mächtig aktiv und locken so enorm viele Fans in die Halle, dass diese zum Bersten gefüllt ist. Wie nicht anders zu erwarten, tummeln sich vor Einlass viele Damen in ausladenden Pettycoats und Herren mit streng angelegter Schmalztolle vor dem Eingang. Es wird ein Fest, geht es mir durch den Kopf, mit sicherlich vielen Tanzeinlagen im Publikum. Ich schaffe es bin in die erste Reihe und bekomme somit nichts davon mit, wie voll und eng es im Saal wird. Also nichts mit Tanzeinlagen, es bleibt aus Platzgründen bei leichten Bewegungen in der Heringsdose. Kurzfristig wurden leider die Fotogenehmigungen gecancelt, somit muss der geschätzte Leser auf coole Bilder verzichten. Sehens- und hörenswert ist das Vorprogramm. Die MESSER CHUPS aus St. Petersburg in Russland geben Musik zum Besten, die natürlich aus den 50ern stammt, so klingt aber mit einer besonderen Note versehen ist. Heute Abend lautet das Thema: wer schafft in kürzester Zeit die meisten Songs. Die MESSER CHUPS dreschen in ihren gewährten dreißig Minuten gefühlte dreißig davon herunter. Wie viele es wirklich sind, habe ich nicht gezählt. Schaffen kann man das, in dem die Ansagen durch Drummer ROCKIN' EUGENE in Geräusche umgewandelt werden. Neben Stöhnen, jaulen und grunzen bringt er auch tatsächlich einige Textwörter im Background zustande.

    Slim Jim Phantom Has Secured His Place As a True Rock-N-Roll Icon. As the Legendary Drummer for the Stray Cats, Phantom, Alongsi

    Slim Jim Phantom has secured his place as a true rock-n-roll icon. As the legendary drummer for the Stray Cats, Phantom, alongside band mates Brian Setzer and Lee Rocker, spearheaded the neo-rockabilly movement of the early 80s. With a love for 50s rock-n-roll the Stray Cats took inspiration from that bygone era and mixed with their youthful energy and aggression produced the updated hard-edged rockabilly sound that saw them conquer London, Europe and later the U.S., gaining fans among the likes of Keith Richards, Mick Jagger and Robert Plant along the way. Born in the Brooklyn Borough of New York City, Jim grew up listening to his parents’ jazz records and by the age of ten took up the drums. Immersing himself in the art of drumming and the world of music, Jim took lessons with Mousie Alexander (who played with Benny Goodman), which included the study of jazz and working through books by Jim Chapin and Ted Reed. By the late 70s Jim was playing in bands with school friend and bassist Lee Rocker and they soon joined forces with guitarist Brian Setzer. The rest, as they say, is history. The Stray Cats had numerous hit singles in the early 1980s, their classic album “Built for Speed” went double platinum, and their song “Rock This Town” is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s list of “The Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll.” Summer 2008 saw Jim and the Stray Cats reunite for an extensive tour of Europe. In February 2009 the band headed to Australia and New Zealand for the first time in 18 years - a tour which was eagerly anticipated by Australasian fans.

The Batavia is a single cutaway hollow body guitar. The body is contructed from maple with spruce and mahogany bracing, maple neck, and pau ferro fretboard inlayed with mother of pearl. The Batavia guitar was conceived and inspired by Jason Burns’ favorite hollow body guitars from the fifties and it comes in two color versions, a two-toned gold and ivory with cream binding, and a gloss black with a nitrocell perloid binding. Another special addition to the Batavia model are the New Blast Cult 1580 pickups. The Spellcaster guitar is a tribute to the god of electric guitars. Its 1.5' hemlock body, maple neck and pau ferro fretboard makes it especially lightweight with tons of vintage tone. It comes equipped with a pair of TV Jones Starwood pickups and a nitro cellulose lacquer finish. It also comes in two color versions, a dark brown burst with gold pin striping with black pick guard, and in institution pink with black striping and black pick guard.
