Based in Bassendean
About this act
Picture Another One Bites the Dust as a rocked-up country number, or Abracadabra with a Latin swing. Atomic Stagecoach takes 1980s songs and rebuilds them as if they'd been cut in the 1950s, all slapping double bass and twangy Telecaster. Formed by Perth rockabilly artist Johnny Law, the quartet runs drums, double bass, electric and acoustic guitar through Cold Chisel, Blondie, The Cure, INXS, Queen, ZZ Top and more. Half the fun is the guessing game: the crowd knows the song but can't quite place it until the chorus lands. The setup is simple, and the band holds public liability insurance.
