Levi and the Rockats first national tv appearance 1979 - full clip

Levi and the Rockats performing “Note From The South“ and “All Through The Night“ on national TV. You get a nice intro of the band, and there’s also an entertaining interview with the lads between songs. This show aired for the first time in April 1979 and must be the first national exposure of the new (at that time) Rockabilly craze. As a frame of reference, The Stray Cats appeared on “Fridays“ two and half years later in October 1981! The interview with band starts about 3:00 mark. Band: Levi Dexter: Lead Vocals Smutty Smiff“ Bass / Vocals Dibbs Preston (Eddie Dibbles): Lead Guitar / Vocals Guy Hemmer: Rhythm Guitar / Vocals Dean Thomas: Drums / Vocals
