Synopsis

Product Description
Graveyard Shindig is a collection of nine evil original songs. The Creepniks play a combination of surf, rockabilly and spaghetti western. If you take these genres, throw in a shrunken head, mix them in a blender and do a voodoo ritual you'll get something along the lines of the Creepniks' "Graveyard Shindig." Four of the nine songs are surf/spaghetti western instrumentals. The other five songs include the degenerate crooning of the Creepniks? lead singer Johnny Lockjaw. This album was used by MTV in 2004 throughout the entire season of the Real World San Diego and has also been featured in a handful of independent films.
 

CD Reviews

Cool dark little disc from the abyss...
Schlock Monkey | Mojave Desert, CA | 12/14/2005
(4 out of 5 stars)

"This is a great disc if you get bored by the usual psycho and surf sound out there. Granted the vox are bit too Cramps-esque at times, but the lyrics are neat-0, like comic book versions of H.P. Lovecraft. I liked the original versions of some of the tracks, when I first discovered Creepniks on CD Baby. The vox were lower so they felt like they took a backseat to the music, and it felt more appropriate. But still, Shadow Over Elkhart and Zombie Stomp, also El Gringo Loco and How Do You Sleep?----all are kickass tunes that justify this purchase."
