The Phantom Creeps were back in fine form at the Slice, Dec. 10.

While Smokestack Jacks were just clearing the stage by the time I arrived, local punk/ psychobilly influenced Phantom Creeps began with a  few bars of ‘Eye of the Tiger.’

Then they locked in and played an upbeat set of punk with stand up bass which has a good sized crowd jumping around in front of the stage to several crowd favourites and upbeat originals including ‘Route 666’ and ‘Hell To Pay.’
