The Stray Cats are an American rockabilly band formed in 1980 by guitarist/vocalist Brian Setzer (Bloodless Pharaohs/Brian Setzer Orchestra), upright bassist Lee Rocker and Slim Jim Phantom (drums) in the Long Island town of Massapequa, New York. The group had numerous hit singles in the UK, Australia and the U.S. including "Stray Cat Strut", "Sexy and 17", "Look at That Cadillac", Bring it Back Again", and "Rock This Town", which the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has listed as one of the 500 most important songs in the history of rock and roll.
Tear It Up is a live album, released May 18, 1993 on the Receiver label. A scorching 1983 set recorded in Helsinki, Finland, the album is the best of the several live Stray Cats CDs which were released in the UK in the '90s. Playing in front of a vocally partisan crowd, guitarist Brian Setzer, bassist Slim Jim Phantom, and drummer Lee Rocker burn through a 75-minute set like they're being chased.
Session pro Mel Collins adds King Curtis-style sax to a few songs, and the group's mentor, Dave Edmunds, joins them for a spirited run through "The Race Is On." Elsewhere, the UK-specific "Rockabilly Rules OK" and the band's underappreciated debut single "Runaway Boys" are particular highlights.
