The Stray Cats are a rockabilly band formed in 1979 in Massapequa, New York, by guitarist/vocalist Brian Setzer, along with school friends Lee Rocker and Slim Jim Phantom. Their musical style drew inspiration from the sounds of Sun Records artists from the 1950s, heavily influenced by Bill Haley & His Comets. Initially, the band struggled to gain recognition in the New York music scene, prompting them to relocate to England, where they found success in the rockabilly revival during the early 1980s, achieving several hit singles in both the U.K. and the U.S.
