Zombie Space Pirates

Washboard Zombie Space Pirates A Unique Instrument
If you mix Rockabilly with punk you get Psychobilly. This is Zombie Space Pirates, a great Psychobilly band, and the coolest act to play at the rock festival in Tungelsta. The band have three members and you can see all three here. The bass player is called Sebbe. I met and photographed him four years ago when I was still doing the 100 Strangers project. The sax player also plays the washboard and that is of course very cool. As is the unique guitar that the lead singer is using in the above photo. If you have a working memory you might remember the worlds biggest Psychobilly fan, a cool guy that I met earlier this summer. He had only good things to say about this band.

Interesting photos, Stefan. I know absolutely nothing about this kind of music and I suspect it will stay that way.

Great bass player shot. The hair add some ambiance to it.

Very picturesque guys, I am sure I would like their music too.

PS - I read your blog, but I am usually distracted by all those amazing pictures you keep posting!
