With an astonishing 2,500+ live performances over the course of their 18 year career, Detroit’s Koffin Kats are an unstoppable force in psychobilly. Devotees of the genre know them for their energetic live shows and nine studio albums full of hair gel, cobwebs and coffin velvet. The Kats boast the extremely dope trait of having a singing stand-up bassist: vocalist Vic Victory wails like a vampire in the middle of punching another vampire, all over a demonic chorus of hardcore guitar licks. Their run through California takes them through the Ritz this week.
