Slim Jim Phantom Trio

with Special guests 59 Sharp & DJ The Knave (PBS)

The Flying Saucer Club – Wednesday 17 May – 8PM
Satellite Lounge – Thursday 18 May – 8PM

Legendary Stray Cats drummer, Slim Jim Phantom returns to Australia this May, performing two exclusive shows in Melbourne at The Flying Saucer Club and sister venue Satellite Lounge.

Slim Jim last set foot on Australian shores in 2016 where he was joined by Glenn Matlock of the Sex Pistols as they performed together on a sold out national tour.

Completing the trio on stage, Slim Jim will be joined by two of Melbourne’s noted rockabilly musicians on guitar and double bass. Sharing the stage will be special guests the recently reformed 59 Sharp and PBS’ own DJ The Knave to get you jumpin’ off your seats and onto your feet!
For the lovers of all things Rockabilly, Slim Jim will be performing songs that have influenced his outstanding career and of course some Stray Cats classics such as ‘Runaway Boys’, ‘Stray Cat Strut’ and ‘Rumble in Brighton’.

Phantom has cemented his place among rock royalty. Considered by many as the coolest drummer in the rock n’ roll scene, Phantom’s influence is still clearly felt on today’s music scene with countless rockabilly drummers imitating his pioneering stand-up style.

During downtime from the Stray Cats Slim Jim has worked with some of the world’s top artists and has played a part in many successful groups; notably “Phantom, Rocker and Slick” featuring guitarist Earl Slick which produced two popular albums, “The Swing Cats” featuring guitar ace Danny B Harvey and “Dead Men Walking” an all-star affair which boasted original members of The Sex Pistols, The Cult and Big Country among the line-up. Jim also enjoyed a stint playing with The Killer, rock n roll originator, Jerry Lee Lewis.
