It has also been a while since the Phantom Creeps and the Smokin’ Pistols have played locally, so fans of psychobilly/ punk and outlaw country should check them both out at the Slice, July 22.The Phantom Creeps are just about to release their second CD, so expect a
lot of great music from that as well as crowd favourites from thier
