Artist History After totally being fed up with the Southen California grunge/alternative scene the Fabulous Martini Brothers decided it was time to get back to basics...a good time with good music. "Greasers are the best bunch of folks anywhere" says Retsched, front man for The Fabulous Martini Brothers, "they know how to party and they love rocabilly music!" "We've all been playing for the past 10-12 years in various bands, but it wasn't untill we started playing rockabilly that the music became alive and really meant something". The band is made yup of a punk rocker, a 70's metal fanatic and an 80's new waver....some how they have taken all their various influences and mixed them together, then stripped it down and the result is what the Fabulous Martini Brothers are all about!
