To be honest I am unfamiliar with that genre...
What does it sound like? Any reference point that you can give us?

alright, here is what psychobilly is..
if you're familiar with rockabilly (think elvis or those 50's esque bands with the nice hair) then psychobilly is quite simple to grasp..it's a perversion of rockabilly. It's a bunch of guys with nice hair and suade suits and the like singing about ghosts and monsters, goblins, and other creepy things..my cousin is in one and he has told me names of some songs of his band..things like 'the boogeyman did boogey'..it's funny stuff and some of it is actually pretty talented...i have a video on my computer i could post though i'm not to familiar how to go about doing that..it's of the psychobilly band batmobile.

appearently there is a lot of bad blood between rockabilly and psychobilly fans though we don't have much of a scene here of either unfortunately. :/
