Forty years after they became MTV stars … Stray Cats ready for a comeback
Getting back together may sound easy enough, but for decades the Stray Cats usually sniffed at reunion talk. Or at the idea of talking at all.
In the aftermath of the band's initial split, in 1984, Brian Setzer hung up his Gretsch for a 12-string acoustic and tried to recast himself as a Johnny Cougar-meets-Bruce roots rocker. Drummer Slim Jim Phantom married Swedish actress and former Bond girl Britt Ekland, posed for People magazine and, eventually, delivered a chatty memoir that laid bare the friction between the Cats. Bassist Lee Rocker started a family and released more than a dozen albums of his own.
But now, with each of them pushing 60, the conflicts seemed ancient and downright silly. Their own projects could wait. The Stray Cats, who sold millions of records during Ronald Reagan's first term by playing greased-up rockabilly, were ready for a comeback.
It actually began last year when Phantom, in a phone call with Setzer, mentioned that the trio played their first gig in 1979.
"That's 40 years," Setzer says now. "That got me. I said, 'Shoot, it's time.'"

But he didn't want to just play old songs. Phantom agreed.
