Sun Cats

The Sun Cats are a Swedish rock & roll band founded as Chorus in response to the death of Elvis, changing their name to Sun Cats in 1981. ^{[1] [2] [3]} Originally they played 1950s cover songs before writing their own music in the 1980s, their most famous song being Jailhouse Rockabilly.
