Romantic Tomcats

about

Slapped doublebass, twanging guitar riffs and a singer. This is how they’ve started rockabilly in the early 1950s. In this minimal-cast long-time friends Thomas Henderikx and Roman Pauli founded the rockabilly-duet “Romantic Tomcats” in 2008, introducing themselves after four short month in rehearsal room and studio with their self-released demo ep in pubs and bars around Aachen to the public. Several gigs around their hometown Heinsberg followed, inter alia as support act for Boppin B’. In summer 2009 the duet in fact turned into a real rock’n’roll formation, with Tim Gleichmann on Saxophone and Felix Zimmermann on drums. In this cast, the four musicians could not stay in rehearsal room for a long time, either and quickly showed their live-competences on several gigs to the audience. In cooperation with the 16-piece SSB Bigband “Swinging X-Mas Vol.3” made a great year-end, Brian Setzer would have loved as well. With their upcoming debut-album “Seasick” the guys keep on staying ambitious, while concerts – for example with King of the Surf Guitar Dick Dale – are on their agenda. Romantic Tomcats are mixing the roots of rockabilly music with their very own influences from rock’n’roll, blues and swing to a danceable style-combination, making it hard to keep your feet on the ground!
