Artist description In January of 1999, nearing the millennium, The PHOTON TORPEDOES launched onto our planet Earth. These creatures bring news of UFO’s from outer space, Female Vampires and Zombies.Two remaining corpses of The Cyclones, Leo and Rick, pulled together to transform their energies to create a furious psychobilly scream. Boston’s premiere psychobilly band sucks the life out of influences such as late 80’s European style psychobilly, garage and punk with scads of energy and other influences of the new.The PHOTON TORPEDOES discovered Alien Rob, from an Internet based psychobilly mailing list by reason of failed attempts to find the right people. Once the three beings intersected, it was apparent the launching was a success.Leo, has now transmuted back to playing guitar after eight years; along with his first undertaking at vocals. He manifested from Ubangi 4 and Cyclones as an upright bassist. Now, with the PHOTON TORPEDOES he asserts the dirty Gretsch sound of his guitar and envisions some of the music and lyrics.Ricky Magic, veteran drummer for many years, toiled from Post Mortem and The Cyclones bringing the PHOTON TORPEDOES barbarian, savage rhythms. Ricky Magic also has assisted in nurturing the genesis of the music and lyrics that turn up from Sci-Fi and B-Horror movies.Newcomer, Rob slaps out extraneous rhythms emerging from psychobilly hell. He has muddled through exhibiting grave potential and concocts procreation to the music.The PHOTON TORPEDOES first encounter with Earthlings was very successful. Since, they have booked future gigs, have a spot on a local cable station, will find themselves on Boston’s first set of local band trader cards, and will be appearing on three compilations.
