AN OUT of this world experience is promised when a band perform in Reading next month.

The Meteors are an English psychobilly band often credited with giving the psychobilly subgenre — punk rock with rockabilly — its distinctive sound and style.

Hailing back to the punk era of the early 80s, they have had a string of hits including 1981 album In Heaven, and a follow-up in 1983, Wreckin’ Crew, leading to them being dubbed the godfathers of psychobilly.

Their fans are known as The Crazies, and pioneered a slam dancing routine known as wrecking.

Their Reading date will be a rare chance to see them live.

Support will come from Cumbrian-based Voodoo Radio, a two-piece who perform sassy and clever punk pop.
