The Pharaohs

Pharaohs - Blue EgyptNervous logoThe Pharaohs were a British Psychobilly band from Harlow in Essex. Their vocalist and second guitarist, Glenn Daeche, wrote most of their songs. They were regulars at the Klub Foot and other low-life places in the Eighties. As one of the 'first generation' of Psychobilly bands, one can see that their roots were firmly embedded in Rockabilly.
 
"Aside from some very cool British psychobilly tracks like an insane 'Wild Thing' (Troggs), 'Radar Love' (Golden Earring), 'Down The Line' (Roy Orbison) and a slab of rockin' originals, the Pharaohs cut a very cool surfabilly instro.
The Theme From Cairo
Tribal rolling drums and a cool melody riff writhe with twang. The arrangement definitely straddles the line between surf and psychobilly, without sacrificing either. There are references to spaghetti western and adventure themes in the writing. An excellent track." Phil Dirt
