Slappin' rockabee is probably ond of the busiest double bass players in northern germany and friends with tom for ages.

slappin' rockabee also plays with and for the ‘tanz tee trio’, ‘the stranger cats’ and ‘coco casablanca club’.
tobi (or not tobi) doesn't really have much to do with rock'n'roll . at least that's what he told tom toxic when he was asked by tom in 2023 if he could help out on drums with slappin' rockabee's other band, ‘the stranger cats’.
in the meantime, he's joined the Cats permanently and now He also plays the kit with 'tom toxic & die poison jerrys'.
we hope that tobi (or not tobi) will play many more gigs with us, Because has the groove and the personality we need. at least tobi's current main band
‘confusion in sonic paradise’ and tom toxic share a rehearsal room.
Steve crown actually only wanted to help out and promised to play his gretsch guitar for the one gig on 25th of October 2024 as support act for the legendary Demented are Go. that didn't work out. in other words: he helped out, but it came to an indefinite extension.
steve crown and tom toxic have known each other for half an eternity, as their bands ‘die holstein rockets’ and ‘pfeffer (holstein)’ have shared the stage more than once.
well, ‘die holstein rockets’ may no longer exist, but steve crown's main band ‘pfeffer (holstein)’ is celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2026.
mr doc rock was there right from the start. he didn't hesitate for long when slappin' rockabee and tom toxic 2022 needed a drummer. he played with the poison jerrys at the psychomania rumble and in las vegas. And: he recorded with us at sun studio. Thank you for your time, the rehearsal room and the beer!
Jonas heider is the frontman of ‘the stranger cats’. since slappin' rockabee slaps the bass in that band too, it was obvious that jonas would share the stage wis us from time to time. and so it happened that he played the lead guitar for us at a few gigs, such as in hamburg, in Memphis or in vegas. thanks for that!
Jürgen gleba also said yes directly when tom toxic and slappin rockabee needed help in 2022. after that he helped out at the gig supporting the griswalds, among others. well, it's a small honour to have him in the band, as he has already played at scotty moore's birthday party in memphis tennessee.
We say; Thank you!
serge baxley is lead guitarist of psychobilly legends 'scum rats'. he also plays with his Bands 'undead workers', and '56# alley chaps' and now with 'The meltdown kids'. nevertheless he found time to help us out at the psychomania rumble and the Psychobilly Kicks back festival. for that he deserves our thanks and respect.
