About Big John Bates
Big John Bates came out of late 90's second-wave psychobilly with a garage-blues sound and carved his reputation with an infamous live show. Extensive tours through Europe, Canada and the American underground punk circuits have seen the band doing 150 shows a year. The well-machined trio has been on Rookie Records (DE) for over 15 years and also featuring Brandy Bones (upright) and Tim Huston (drums). John began his career in the late 1980's as the singer and co-founder of thrash metal legends Annihilator.
