Hep Cat Boo Daddies

MP3: Hep Cat Boo Daddies — 6 Feet

The Hep Cat Boo Daddies singer and guitarist Joel DaSilva may channel Elvis Presley’s coif and Johnny Cash’s stage presence, but the Boo Dads, as fans call them, are not a one-off revival act, looking to the past.

The Boo Dads crash together rockabilly, surf, Chicago blues and punk rock to produce their wild, awe-inducing sound — and they have been doing it for more than 10 years. They have opened for Jimmie Vaughan, the Reverend Horton Heat, B.B. King and other international superstars.

Their first album, Long Time Comin’ came out in 2002, and the Boo Dads are in the process of releasing another. Their DVD, Invasion of the Hep Cat Boo Daddies, also recently came out.

DaSilva, along with bassist Sean “Evil” Gerovitz and drummer Randy Blitz, came together post-Underbellys, a South Florida psychobilly band. After winning awards and accolades from the South Florida community, they have their sights set on winning over the international audience.
