Penny and the Flamethrowers is the only band in north Texas fronted by a published 50s/60s style pinup model … Penny Ruffles. She’s a little naughty and a whole lot of nice!
She and her band, the Flamethrowers, are bringing a rockabilly blowtorch to festivals and venues all over the region. Penny and the Flamethrowers are a look back to when rock and roll was built on three chords and rebellion! Me First and the Gimme Gimme’s has their punk versions of popular songs. Post Modern Jukebox has jazzy swing covers of popular songs. Penny and the Flamethrowers are somewhere in the middle. It’s songs most everyone knows, with a swingin’ old school rock and roll and rockabilly beat, with bit of a modern edge. If you listen closely, you might even hear an original tune sprinkled in from time to time.
Here just a few of the festivals and venues where Penny and the Flamethrowers have spread their particular brand of rockabilly gospel.
