on
July

in
Woodinville,
Washington,
and
concludes

Lee
Rocker
and

Slim
Jim
Phantom
–
on

road
for

The
rockabilly
band
was
last
on
the
road
in
2019,
playing
a
summer
tour
that
year.

The
earlier
tour
was
in
support
of

40,
the
Long
Island-formed
band’s
first
album
in
more
than
25
years.
A
live
album
culled
from
the
tour,

Rocked
This
Town:
From
LA
to
London,
was
released
in
2020.
Stray
Cats
released
nine
albums
between
1981
and
the
2019
reunion
record.
They
scored
three
Top
10
singles
during
the
peak
run
in
1982-83;
their
debut
album
in
the
States,

Built
for
Speed (compiled
from
their
first
two
U.K.
LPs),

15
weeks
at
No.
2.

Revisiting
Stray
Cats’ ‘Rant
N’
Rave
With
the
Stray
Cats’

“I’ve
always
said
that
we
all
grew
up
in
the
same
neighborhood,
so
there’s
an
instant
feeling
between
us
when
we
play,”
Setzer
noted
in
a
press
release
announcing
the
tour. “It
allows
us
to
be
confident
and
spontaneous.
Man,
that’s
priceless.” “With
just
a
string
bass,
a
guitar
and
a
drum,
we
have
always
had
less
instruments
and
gear,
but
more
rumble,
more
twang,
more
shake
and
more
bang
than
anyone
else,”
Rocker
added. “Now’s
the
right
time
to
bring
it
back.”

Phantom
said
he
was “thrilled
to
be
doing
shows
in
2024
with
Stray
Cats
in
the
U.S.A.
Playing
drums
with
Brian
and
Lee
in
our
rockabilly
band
is
the
best
possible
way
to
spend
a
summer.”
