Eight Gigs: Nekromantix

This Danish-American psychobilly trio with a signature coffin-shaped bass began its 26-show tour in May and stops in Sacramento for the first time in two years. The latest Nekromantix lineup features original and founding member Kim Nekroman, the man behind the upright bass. In April 2014, Adam Guerrero of Los Angeles-based psychobilly band Rezurex replaced longtime Nekromantix drummer and only female member, Lux; and Francisco Mesa still rocks the guitar. After forming in 1989, the band released five albums in its first decade. Its latest album, 2011's What Happens in Hell, Stays in Hell, released on Hellcat Records, still retains the band's monster and horror themes. 9426 Greenback Lane, www.facebook.com/nekromantix.
