Great band. Great look. The only thing I can't help pointing out is the guitar. A solid body will get the job done if you're doing one rockabilly song. But if you're in a rockabilly band, get a semi hollow. A Gretch or something. Solid body guitars were available if only just at the time but they weren't yet widely used. Chuck Berry and all those rockabilly guitar gods used semi hollow guitars.

Thanks for the comment @PaulTheSkeptic, The song originally by Johnny Burnette & the R&R Trio included Paul Burlison who played a Fender Esquire/Tele but it's thought he couldn't have gotten that tone with the Fender & many rockabilly fans believe it was Grady Martin played on the studio recording, he played a Paul Bigsby solid body (not that the playing here matches his) & yes many rockabilly bands used archtop guitars but plenty played solid bodies ! Here's another from the Eightballs with a Gretsch kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqCXoaCjgMSSnKM&ab_channel=Boppin%27Bennie

Whatever happened to the Eightballs?

I played bass with Rockabilly bands in the Burgh The Kraze & after The Eightballs, decided to move to Austin early 86 & shortly after arriving got a band goin' called The Tycoons. The Eightballs kept playing for a while, not sure why they stopped gigging. I've been in contact with them, wish we'd have played on the early Rockabilly Revival shows, plenty of Euros still love old school American root music !
