The Atomic Bombcatz is a four-piece, high-octane, rockabilly combo from Southeast Michigan with a style based on the energetic and nostalgic groove of the early rock & roll heydays, but with modern twists, pulling from not only the 50s and 60s but also the 70s and 80s. This recipe for fun gets people dancing and shaking to its infectious retro sound.
The band’s four-part harmonies and humorous stage banter cap off the stage show and draw the audience to the dance floor even more.
The band’s influences range from Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, and Wanda Jackson, all the way to more modern acts such as Stray Cats, JD McPherson, and Imelda May. BUT, the hook that gets people grooving are the 80’s covers that the band performs in a fun and unique rockabilly style.
The blog “Life In Michigan'' reviewed the band’s live appearance at the July 2024 Michigan Brewers Guild Beer Festival in Ypsilanti, Michigan stating, “the boppin’ rockabilly of The Atomic Bombcatz: This band is pure fun. They played a feisty set of music that capped off a great evening of Michigan beer.”
The Atomic Bombcatz has shared the stage with many notable bands, including: Rev Horton Heat, Wayne “The Train” Hancock, Deke Dickerson, Left Lane Cruiser, George Bedard & the Kingpins, Joe Buck, Horse Cave Trio, Krank Daddies, Bat Hearse, The Volcanos, The Palatinos, Sebastien Bordeaux, Kitten & The Tonics, The Hi-Views, The Madison Crawl, The Tentakills, DJ Del Villareal, Andy Patalan (Sponge, Brownsville Station, Solid Frog), Pat Smillie Band, The Seatbelts, Red Hot Voodoo, Big B and the Actual Proof, Tino Gross, Rum & Bones, and many more.
