Shockabilly was an experimental avant-garde band from New York City that pushed the boundaries of electronic and rock fusion throughout the early 1980s. Active between 1982 and 1985, the trio—featuring Eugene Chadbourne on guitar and vocals, Mark Kramer on bass and organ, and David Licht on drums—released four studio albums that blended electronic textures with unconventional song structures and genre-defying arrangements.
The group's fearless approach to production and instrumentation made them influential figures in the experimental electronic music scene, with their work characterized by innovative use of synthesizers, processed vocals, and rhythmic experimentation that challenged contemporary music conventions.
