In 2009 Batmobile has joined our booking agency. Please contact us to ask for conditions and dates.Batmobile was founded 1983. After several months of covering Elvis Presley, Johnny Burnette and Gene Vincent, Jeroen Haamers(vocals/guitar), Johnny Zuidhof (drums) and Eric Haamers (double bass) decided to start to write their own material and all of asudden people started to call the mental Dutch threesome 'psychobillies'. In 1985 the first Batmobile album was released,which led to international recognition. For the first time a non-british band headlined all international psychobillyfestivals. The second half of the eighties and the first half ofthe nineties the band is touring through Germany, France, Japan, Spain, Switzerland, Italy, Austria and England. The band isheadlining numerous times in the legendary KlubFoot in London. Thereleases of the band are consistent in the concept of sounding different every time. The band hates to cover itself so the Batmogents are always in search of new sounds within the rockabilly/psychobilly spectrum. This leads to the very first (andever so often copied) metal-sounds within the scene on their 1988 realease Bail's Set...... but ofcourse also to the back to basicsrelease Amazons from Outer Space (1989) and the massive concept mini-album Batmobile is Dynamite (1990). If ever there's a band aheadof things within rockabilly/psychobilly it's Batmobile. In 1997 the band waves psychobilly goodbye and introduces their own brand of Rockn Roll B-music. Like in a B-film, B-music stand for B-musicians, bad (read: funny) jokes, horror, naked women and having the time of yourlife. So there is not a big difference with decent psychobilly. Thesecond half of the nineties Batmobile does a lot of concerts in the Jukebox Tour in which the audience decides what the band should play.Their first concert in New York is being taped and released on film and will be the last concert before a 3 year break. In 2001 thealbum titled A Tribute To Batmobile is released on a Japanese label. On the album all kinds of bands from all over the world playBatmobile songs. Batmobiles own contribution on the album is called Baby Go Back Home. In 2003 'A Tribute to Batmobile part 2' wasreleased and the band recorded the song Deep Down for it. In 2003 the band makes one live appearance in Germany which makes Batmobiledecide to start doing more live performances again starting 2004. Since then they have been doing concerts in the Netherlands, Japan,Russia, Finland, Sweden, Germany, Belgium, Brazil and the US/Hollywood. Now the band just contributed a live version of KissMe Now on the Kaiser Records 'Soundtrack to Oblivion' and has recorded the old Warren Smith classic Ubangi Stomp for the Stray CatsTribute record 'Go Cat Go' for Baseline Music.
