The Lantern: Th’ Flyin’ Saucers fans more than `rockabillies’

Lucky for me, The Lantern keeps it's archive open and available to access, otherwise I wouldn't be able to track interviews and articles on so many Columbus bands. In this case, it's Th' Flyin' Saucers, who were profiled back in 1997. Here's some of that:

After chasing UFOs all over the country, the X-Files’ Mulder and Sculley need to check out the Columbus music scene. Formed in 1989, Th’ Flyin’ Saucers have made a name for themselves by playing an energetic blend of ’90s rockabilly and punk rock and just happen to have a licensed voodoo priest in the band. “We probably lean a little more towards real rockabilly,” singer/guitarist Johnny Rebel said. “But we’re definitely a psychobilly band. You can take the boy out of the punk rock, but you can’t take the punk rock out of the boy.”The three-piece Saucers, made up of Rebel (voodoo priest), upright bass player Dan SaGraves and drummer Rex Xanders put on exciting shows that are characterized by loud and catchy music, each song punctuated by drum rolls, breakdowns and Rebel’s skillful guitar solos. The set list is comprised of mostly originals like “My Baby’s Love is Poison” and “She’s Evil”, as well as a few cover tunes.
