Really....?Rocket about about 1 month ago
Why is it that the ONLY true roots rockabilly band in the area performs at 3:30pm? The Bowlers have been the ONLY band to be scheduled for EVERY Ruckus. It took a band member being in the emergency room to make them miss performing last year. I and others take it as an insult that the "rockabilly" ruckus' only actual rockabilly band is scheduled third. Who makes the line-up? Are they bribed or just oblivious? Really...?
To person above, what are you talking about?

The 'only' rockabilly band? Please educate me, and tell me what genre each and every other band is in then. I looked up all of the bands and I would put 'most' of then in the rockabilly genre. I plan to be there from start to finish, so I don't care the order, I base my opinions on who is there. I'm guessing the lineup is either based on popularity, or if that's incorrect then they are trying to spread out the popularity to get more there earlier vs fairly empty until the last few shows.

thanks again for putting the ruckus toghere. i thought the down shifters were in the lineup? also was hoping to see the devilles. atlanta is to far for that fix. speaking of psycho. how about adding a psycho billy band to the lineup . or wait even better, make the ruckus a two day/weekend event!awe never mind it is perfect the way it is. thanks again for the hard work putting it toghere.
Age Appropriate?
Andre about 11 days ago
Is this show all ages? And is it appropriate to bring a 7yr old girl(my daughter) to introduce her to this mosic which i love?

True Rockabilly @ Skippers
Kalamity Kat about 6 days ago
Midnight Bowlers League is awesome without a doubt...however, if you haven't heard The Cadillac Bombers yet even the Bowlers would agree, we are true Rockabilly. I personally invite you to get to Skippers early and hear us - 2:00pm! But there is plenty of authentic Rockabilly this year besides that, I'm stoked! -Kalamity Kat

I bought my ticket online and never received an email or any confirmation. Is that going to be a problem?
Ruckus VII
Nafa of MBL about 5 days ago
Nafa from MIDNIGHT BOWLERS LEAGUE here--I just noticed this board and the discussion going on here and thought I would throw my two cents in. This is MBL's 7th year on the bill (yes, the first band to kick of Ruckus I and the ONLY band to appear on ALL SEVEN Ruckus line ups, though do to an emergency at 2:00p the day of we had to cancel last year) with our brand of traditional Rockabilly. I think I sort of get why WMNF spaced out the acts they way they did, altering more straight-up style RAB bands with RAB-influenced acts. All in all, it's gonna be a great day and hopefully a fun show for all because that's what is important here. I urge everyone to get there when the show starts at 2:00p because the Cadillac Bombers will knock your socks off--another local true Rockabilly band. And of course another personal favorite, the always brilliant SARGE & THE AEROMEN--don't forget to pick up their new CD! Plus, KIM LENZ and BIG SANDY are the last word RAB, period. Just get there early and stay late, make sure that EVERY act gets some love and respect, and have a blast. And to Rocket, thank you for your die-hard spirit. :) -N.

Skipper's shows are always all ages, family-friendly. Good for the 7-yr old w/ parents and for the 18-yr old without. Fun for the whole family!

Just to keep everyone posted- I am so glad to hear some postive words here... Rockabilly is so popular in Europe and Spain. If you don't support it, you won't have it..encourage all cats and devil dolls to come out.. If you ordered online, it will be at will call...join us at 2pm-12 midnight, and you will know why rockabilly rules.(4-6 sonic detour will feature all the bands today) ..lindalu
