This well named group were called The Teenkats. In the early 80's, they played rockabilly in the style of the Stray Cats or Robert Gordon. They had been discovered by Jacky Chalard. Who else? Along with Victor Leed, Jezebel Rock, Chris Evans, The Alligators, it was quite a scene then.
Viktor Huganet is in the same vein. A kid from Toulouse. Like Brian Setzer, Viktors role model, he also has an absolute hero: Eddie Cochran, who else . He even devoted a very moving tribute "Remember Eddie Cochran" to him, like Eddy Mitchell once had.
Composing and writing in French, Rockabilly is here, again. Roots ! But, moreover like the Stray Cats, he does not lock himself in. An upcoming LP will be released soon. Rock'n'Roll VO/Vf! Covers and originals, in French, as in English.... Legendary gems and others soon to become. On Big Beat, the iconic label of Jacky Chalard.
