The act
Classic rockabilly with swing underneath it, catchy ballads, and the odd Mexican flavour creeping in. Johnny Law & The Pistol Packin' Daddies work as a four piece, or trim down to three when the stage or the budget is tight. The set list runs through Elvis, Fats Domino, Gene Vincent, Eddie Cochran and Bill Haley, plus a handful of 1980s songs rebuilt in the old style, which usually catches people out. Sets run 45 minutes each, one to three of them. They can bring their own small PA. Watch for the Dick Dale style solo. It happens once a night and once only. Based in Perth, and Johnny also works the east coast with a Sydney backing band as Johnny Law & The Wandering Stars.

Good to know
What to expect
Classic rockabilly with swing running through it, some catchy ballads, and a Mexican flavour that turns up where you don't expect it. The band works as a four piece, or trims to three if your stage is tight. Years of gigs behind them means they play to whoever's in front of them, and the material reaches across a wide spread of ages. Watch for the Dick Dale style solo. It happens once a night, and once only.
On the day
The list shifts with the size of the room, but a standard setup wants a DI box for the acoustic guitar, three vocal microphones across the front of the stage, a microphone or DI on the bass amp, one on the electric guitar, and drum mics to suit a small kit. If your venue is small, some of that drops away. Send them the room details and they'll tell you what's genuinely needed.
Performance options
Sets run 45 minutes each, and you can book one, two or three of them. The band comes as a four piece or a three piece, so the smaller version fits a stage that won't take everyone. They can also bring a small PA if the venue hasn't got one. Nothing here is fixed, so tell them what the night looks like and they'll work around it.
