Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin May 2011 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This project would not have been possible without the help and support of so many wonderful people. I’ll never forget the day when David Levee suggested I check out a Nekromantix show in Austin, TX. During the show, as I watched Kim Nekroman lick the Jägermeister off his coffin bass while thudding away at the mutant rockabilly- punk hybrid creation with ridiculous speed, I knew then and there that psychobilly would have to be the subject of my doctoral research. I did not know at the time that I would come to meet some of the most remarkable people in my life as a result of engaging in this research. I am very grateful to the hundreds of musicians, fans, and retro-philes that shared their interests, opinions, stories, and time with me. There are too many to list here, so please know that each and every one made a significant impact on me and contributed to this product. Many are named in Appendix B on page 309-10. Frank, Jorge, Xavier, Brian, Betty Elle, and Jason – I couldn’t have written this without you. Thanks for the conversation, dances, laughs, drinks, burgers, hugs, and memories. I’d also like to express my gratitude to my dissertation committee members Sonia Seeman, Veit Erlmann, Martha Menchaca, and Karl Miller for their wisdom, advice, and support. Committee chair and advisor Robin Moore tirelessly offered editorial and critical suggestions throughout the draft process, and I am thankful for his keen eye and encouragement. My dissertation research and writing would not have been possible without the support of the University of Texas and the William S. Livingston Graduate Fellowship. iv Of course, thanks to all my friends without whom I could not have done this. I am especially thankful for Sidra Lawrence, Melanie Morgan, Ryan McCormack, and Kathryn Metz, for we were able to support and sympathize with each other throughout the dissertation process as we experienced typing pains, sleepless nights, and anxiety- ridden mood shifts. Thanks too to Jamie Freedman for listening, commiserating, and encouraging. Finally, thanks are due to my family for not giving up on the long PhD marathon. Thanks, Dean and Dave for encouraging me to stick up for what I want to say and how I want to write, and for suggesting I take a machete to the doctoral defense. Luckily, I didn’t need it. Jan and John, thanks for making me the person I am, and for agreeing that going to bars late at night and talking to psychobillies was a worthwhile use of my time and academic training. I know it’s not easy to explain that your daughter has a PhD in “ethnomusicology” and even harder to explain that my dissertation is about “psychobilly.” So thank you for doing so with such pride and happiness. v Psychobilly: Imagining and Realizing a “Culture of Survival” Through Mutant Rockabilly Kimberly Adele Kattari, Ph.D. The University of Texas at Austin, 2011 Supervisor: Robin Moore Identifying simultaneously with the cool 1950s greaser, the punk rebel, and the zombies, murderers, and monsters of horror lore, psychobillies (“psychos”) cobble together an identity that expresses their subcultural subjectivity. They construct and cultivate an alternative present, a participatory culture that offers multiple strategies for relieving the pressures of working-class life, for experiencing pleasure despite hardship. As one research participant put it, “psychobilly is a culture of survival.” This dissertation explores the interwoven, multiple reasons why musicians and fans identify with this alternative, underground culture, tracing the integral role it plays in their lives and the ways in which psychobillies creatively reconstitute aspects of the cultural past in the present. I focus on the advantages that a tight-knit social community confers and on the ways in which various fantasies and lived practices provide transcendental escape as well as feelings of control and power. My research draws both from a long line of cultural studies and from more recent trends in popular music scholarship that focus on musical vi meaning in everyday life. Accordingly, I employ an ethnographic writing style that privileges the multiple voices and identities of my research associates. vii TABLE OF CONTENTS List of Figures …………………………………………….………………………. ix List of Referenced Tracks ………………….………………………………….. xi Prologue: A Note About Stylistic Approach: Story-Telling, Representation, Reflexivity, and Many Truths ……………………………………………………… 1 Chapter One: Introduction – The Meaning of Music in Everyday Life: Psychobilly As Identity and Survival ……………………………………………… 6 Chapter Two: Psychobilly Bricolage: Rebellion, Entertainment, Identity, and Pleasure ……………………………………………………………………….. 56 Chapter Three: Subverting the Supercultural Zombie Narrative: Psychobilly Zombies and the Pleasures of Undeath ……………………………… 136 Chapter Four: Building Community: Communitas and Social Capital …………… 172 Chapter Five (An Interlude): Latinos in Psychobilly: Rewriting and Reviving Rockabilly History ………………………………………………………………… 211 Chapter Six: Housewives, Sex Slaves, Bettie Page, and Getting Horny in a Hearse: Representations of Gender and Sexuality …………………….………………..…. 222 Chapter Seven: Conclusion – Making The “World” of Psychobilly: Constituting a Better Life …………………………………………………….…… 284 Appendix A: “One Piece At A Time” Lyrics …………………………………….. 307 Appendix B: Interviews …………………………………..………………………. 309 Works Cited ……………………………………………………………………….. 311 viii LIST OF FIGURES 1. “The Psychobilly Cadillac” …………………………………………….……… 60 2.

  • The White Animals
    The 5outh 'r Greatert Party Band Playr Again: Narhville 'r Legendary White AniMalr Reunite to 5old-0ut Crowdr By Elaine McArdle t's 10 p.m. on a sweltering summer n. ight in Nashville and standing room only at the renowned Exit/In bar, where the crowd - a bizarre mix of mid­ Idle-aged frat rats and former punk rockers - is in a frenzy. Some drove a day or more to get here, from Florida or Arizona or North Carolina. Others flew in from New York or California, even the Virgin Islands. One group of fans chartered a jet from Mobile, Ala. With scores of people turned away at the door, the 500 people crushed into the club begin shouting song titles before the music even starts. "The White Animals are baaaaaaack!" bellows one wild-eyed thirty­ something, who appears mainstream in his khaki shorts and docksiders - until you notice he reeks of patchouli oil and is dripping in silver-and-purple mardi gras beads, the ornament of choice for White Animals fans. Next to him, a mortgage banker named Scott Brown says he saw the White Animals play at least 20 times when he was an undergrad at the University of Tennessee. He wouldn't have missed this long-overdue reunion - he saw both the Friday and Saturday shows - for a residential closing on Mar-A-Lago. Lead singer Kevin Gray, a one-time medical student who dropped his stud­ ies in 1978 to work in the band fulltime, steps onto the stage and peers out into the audience, recognizing faces he hasn't seen in more than a decade.

  • THE POLITICAL ECONOMY of the DEAD: MARX's VAMPIRES Mark
    THE POLITICAL ECONOMY OF THE DEAD: MARX’S VAMPIRES Mark Neocleous1 Abstract: This article aims to show the importance of the vampire metaphor to Marx’s work. In so doing, it challenges previous attempts to explain Marx’s use of the metaphor with reference to literary style, nineteenth-century gothic or Enlightenment rationalism. Instead, the article accepts the widespread view linking the vampire to capital, but argues that Marx’s specific use of this link can be properly understood only in the context of his critique of political economy and, in particular, the political econ- omy of the dead. Towards the end of Volume 1 of Capital, Marx employs one of his usual dra- matic and rhetorical devices: ‘If money comes into the world with a congeni- tal blood-stain on one cheek,’ he says, then ‘capital comes dripping from head to toe, from every pore, with blood and dirt’.2 The comment is a reminder of the extent to which the theme of blood and horror runs through the pages of Capital. According to Stanley Hyman, there are in Capital two forms of horror. The first concerns the bloody legislation against vagabond- age, describing the way that agricultural peoples were driven from their homes, turned into vagabonds and then ‘whipped, branded, tortured by laws grotesquely terrible, into the discipline necessary for the wage system’. The second concerns the horrors experienced by people in the colonies, ‘the extirpation, enslavement and entombment in mines of the aboriginal popula- tion...theturning of Africa into a warren for the commercial hunting of black skins’.3 But to these we might add a third form of horror: the constant sucking of the blood of the Western working class by the bourgeois class.

  • The Figure of the Vampire Has Been Inextricably Linked to the History Of
    ENTERTEXT From Pathology to Invisibility: The Discourse of Ageing in Vampire Fiction Author: Marta Miquel-Baldellou Source: EnterText, “Special Issue on Ageing and Fiction,” 12 (2014): 95-114. Abstract A diachronic analysis of the way the literary vampire has been characterised from the Victorian era to the contemporary period underlines a clear evolution which seems especially relevant from the perspective of ageing studies. One of the permanent features characterising the fictional vampire from its origins to its contemporary manifestations in literature is precisely the vampire’s disaffection with the effects of ageing despite its actual old age. Nonetheless, even though the vampire no longer ages in appearance, the way it has been presented has significantly evolved from a remarkable aged appearance during the Victorian period through Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu’s Carmilla (1872) or Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1897) to outstanding youth in Anne Rice’s An Interview with the Vampire (1976), adolescence in Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight (2005), and even childhood in John Ajvide Lindquist’s Let The Right One In (2007), thus underlining a significant process of rejuvenation despite the vampire’s acknowledged old age. This paper shows how the representations of the vampire in the arts, mainly literature and cinema, reflect a shift from the embodiment of pathology to the invisibility, or the denial, of old age. 95 | The Discourse of Ageing in Vampire Fiction From Pathology to Invisibility: The Discourse of Ageing in Vampire Fiction Marta Miquel-Baldellou Ageing and vampire fiction The figure of the vampire has been inextricably linked to the history of humanity since ancient and classical times as an embodiment of fear, otherness, evil and the abject.
