There are some artists who become the personification of their genre. They represent everything good about that type of music to such an extent that most other acts simply sound derivative. When it comes to rockabilly, it's undoubtedly Stray Cats who define the sound.

Formed in 1979 while the rest of the world was lost in an ocean of synthesisers, Brian Setzer, Lee Rocker and Slim Jim Phantom perfected the rockabilly formula. Over the years they recorded countless classics but, quite simply, if you haven't seen them live you'll never know what truly gifted musicians they are. In a sold out Brixton Academy, the Stray Cats sound as fresh now as they ever did. Setzer's guitar sizzles as he picks out flawless licks and howls to the roof with a passion and rawness that belies his age. The rhythm sections seamlessly slips between the effortless cool 'Stray Cat Strut' and the psychobilly aggression of 'Rumble in Brighton'. (With an obligatory lyric change to 'Rumble in Brixton' on the last chorus) The band blast through old classics like 'Gene & Eddy' and 'Ubangi Stomp' with a swagger and energy reminiscent of glory days of rock n' roll. The slower numbers such as 'Summer Nights' give a chance for Setzer to show off how rich his voice has become with age as 4000 leather jacketed fans sway along.

All this comes before an encore including covers of 'Twenty Flight Rock' and 'That's Alright Mama'. The final number is a wild version of 'Please Don't Touch' where Lee Rocker mounts his double bass like a possessed rock n' roll gargoyle as Setzer leaps across the stage monitors with an enormous grin on his face.

I had the pleasure to see them in '83 at the US Festival in California. It was the '80s Woodstock, they played their 2nd album to 200,000+ before it was released. The 3-day line up was incredible, just google the bands and videos. When the cats started their first song all of the fringes of the crowd went to the stage for the first time making the food vendor area a ghost town. I know, I was the Icce vendor dude... The reviews said that they were the highlight of the event...

Incredible show. Three musicians really showcased their talent instrumentally, vocally, and with lots of energy. I would definitely recommend to any fan of theirs or those who love the rockabilly beat! Well worth the price to herd these cats!

Amazing time. First time I have seen them live, band were brilliant, boyfriend has seen them many times before and still says they have what it takes and would love to follow them around at each live concert.

The Stray Cats Detail First LP in 26 Years, Plot World Tour

By Ryan Reed

The Stray Cats announced their first album in 26 years , 40 , and detailed a summer world tour. The long-running rockabilly trio — singer-guitarist Brian Setzer , bassist Lee Rocker and drummer Slim Jim Phantom — previewed the LP with new song “Cat Fight (Over a Dog Like Me),” a trademark blast of searing guitar fills, tremolo bar swoops and hopping double-bass.

“Cat Fight” is available with pre-orders of the record. The band will release the track (along with new songs “When Nothing’s Going Right” and “Rock It Off”) as part of an exclusive, 12-inch picture disc on April 13th, Record Store Day. They will also issue an exclusive colored vinyl edition of the song on May 24th.

The Stray Cats recorded 40 with producer Peter Collins (Rush, Bon Jovi, the Brian Setzer Orchestra) at Nashville, Tennessee’s Blackbird Studios in late 2018, following their first North American shows in a decade.

“You have to understand how unique the Stray Cats are,” Setzer said in a statement. “It’s me playing an old hollow body guitar, Slim Jim playing two or three drums, and Lee Rocker slapping a stand-up acoustic bass. I get to write new songs and then play them with my buddies. Somehow we created a new and exciting sound with this simple idea. And you know what? A lot of people agree!”

Rocker enthused that 40 captures the same vibe as their debut self-titled LP from 1981. “This new album really feels like the first record we did; it’s really natural and comfortable,” he said. “For the recording, we went live –– like doing a gig, we recorded in a real, organic way. We were all in one room standing next to each other recording live, with the amps turned up to 10. It captured the undefinable things that happen when a band is great. It captured the magic that takes place and an undefined spark.”

“We’re very, very focused when we get into the studio,” added Phantom. “it didn’t feel like a long time had passed since we had done this — it felt very natural and familiar. We were all in a row with everyone watching each other, so it felt like a gig in the set-up. We really embraced that a little bit for the album –– it’s like an old way of making records. The modern is meeting the vintage, which has always been our inspiration.”

The band’s summer tour launches June 21st in Vitoria, Spain, with their international leg running through July 20th in Falun, Sweden; their U.S. leg kicks off August 3rd in Atlanta City, New Jersey and wraps August 31st in San Diego, California. Tickets for the American go on sale starting Friday, March 8th at 10 a.m. local time.

Lee Rocker and The Stray Cats to Announce Reunion Tour

To help gear up for the 2024 reunion, Lee Rocker is set to embark on a tour of warm up dates this fall

Stray Cat bassist Lee Rocker  confirms that discussions are underway laying the groundwork for the rockabilly legends to Stray Cat Strut their way back onto stages in the USA next year. The 2024 dates will be the Stray Cats first shows since 2019.

“Well, now that the cats out of the bag, pun intended, I have to say it’s going to be a blast to get the Stray Cats back together to Rock This Town! See what I did there?”  said Rocker.  The Grammy nominated multi-platinum-selling trio, who were staples of the early days of MTV, are returning to share their unique brand of blistering rock and roll with their devoted fans.

“I can’t go into specifics since there are still a lot of details to work out, but one thing I can guarantee you is that when Setzer, Rocker and Phantom are on stage together, sparks are going to fly and that Stray Cats magic is undeniable.” 

To help gear up for the 2024 reunion, Lee Rocker is set to embark on a tour of warm up dates this fall, performing the biggest Stray Cats hits including ‘Rock This Town’, ’Stray Cat Strut’, and ‘(She’s) Sexy + 17’ as well as cuts from his most recent album ‘Gather Round’ and timeless rockabilly classics. In these concerts, Lee Rocker incorporates video screens and rare film footage as Lee goes behind the scene with audiences, telling stories of how these songs came together as well as sharing fascinating and sometimes hilarious moments from a 45 year career as an icon of American music.

Stray Cat Lee Rocker’s fall tour kicks off with shows in the following cities:

• Thursday, October 5 th : Wiens Family Cellars in Temecula, CA
• Saturday, October 14 th : Janet & Ray Scherr Forum Theatre in Thousand Oaks, CA
• Friday, November 10 th : Mainstage Theater in Grayslake, IL
• Saturday, November 11 th : Stroede Center for the Arts in Defiance, OH
• Sunday, November 12 th : Music Box Supper Club in Cleveland, OH

• Saturday, December 2 nd : The Coach House in San Juan Capistrano, CA
• Friday, December 8 th : Reynolds Performance Hall, Conway, AR

To purchase tickets, go to  www.leerocker.com/shows .  

“If you like the Stray Cats, you’ll love this show. I’ll be playing smaller, more intimate spots than the much bigger venues The Stray Cats will be in next year. It’ll be a great chance to get up close and personal in a way that just won’t be possible during next year’s reunion tour. It’s an absolute honor to fly the banner for the group as The Stray Cat Lee Rocker on these shows. Come see us!”

Along with his work with Stray Cats, legendary bassist and vocalist Lee Rocker has recorded and performed with many of the biggest names in popular music, including Beatles George Harrison and Ringo Starr, Willie Nelson, Leon Russell, Keith Richards, Carl Perkins and more.  Rocker has released 15 solo albums.

Humane Society  of the Palouse

"helping those who cannot help themselves.".

The Humane Society is always happy to have volunteers come out and help care for our animals. The animals like new faces as well.

Are you interested in Volunteering?  Please contact HSoP and schedule your first shift!  Due to limited space, HSoP can only accommodate so many volunteers at one time. 

Volunteer Hours are available Monday through Friday from 2:00-5:00. We can schedule up to three volunteers at a time. 

Sign up for your shift today! 

Contact HSoP by phone at (208) 883-1166 or through email at

[email protected]

Do you have questions about volunteering with us? Click here to visit our Volunteering FAQs !

Junior Volunteers

Additional Guidelines for Younger Volunteers

You must be at least 12 years old to be a junior volunteer. During their first volunteering shift, junior volunteers must be accompanied by a parent or guardian to go over rules, sign the application, and ensure their child understands the process. 

After the initial supervised shift, junior volunteers can volunteer alone for up to one hour per day.  Junior volunteers are not allowed in the dog kennels without their parent or guardian. 

There is a 3-strikes rule!  If we have to remind you about following these rules three times, you will not be allowed to return to volunteer without a parent.

HSoP cannot accommodate volunteers under the age of 12 at this time. 

***Junior Volunteers can socialize with animals that are already accustomed to younger people.  If an animal is not comfortable or socialized with children, you will not be allowed to interact with them.***

Dog Walking

Our dogs love getting to go on walks! These mini adventures offer a fun break from the shelter environment, and give our pups a chance to practice their leash skills before going home. If you'd like to help our pups get some relaxing walks in, we would love to have your help!

If you haven't already, be sure to fill out and submit a volunteer application. 

Next, fill out and submit the dog walking form above. Be sure to carefully read all guidelines. 

Just like that, you're all set to walk some dogs! We will ask to hold onto your ID while you're out. 

***Junior volunteers cannot walk dogs by themselves. If they are accompanied by an adult parent or guardian, then the junior volunteer can accompany the adult for the walk, but may not control the leash.***

Group Volunteering

Thank you for considering HSoP as the beneficiary of your groups’ philanthropy! Due to space restrictions at HSoP, we are unable to accommodate large groups of volunteers on site.  However, groups can do a lot for the animals currently at HSoP by organizing fundraisers, pet food drives, or pet supply collections for the homeless animals of Latah County.

While we aren’t able to accommodate groups at our shelter, your group efforts can still make a huge difference to the homeless animals found within your community.

After your group has organized a fundraiser, supported a pet food drive for our Pet Food Pantry, or done a supply collection, a tour is a wonderful way to top off the experience!  This is a great way for your group to see exactly how your efforts have benefited your pet community.

To schedule a group tour, or for fun ideas for group projects, please contact us by phone at  (208)883-1166 or through email at  [email protected] .

Duties may include laundry, dishes, sorting donations, cleaning, and more.

Dress Protocol

To prevent slipping, exposure to harsh cleaning chemicals, and injuries, all Community Service Volunteers must wear flat, enclosed rubber-sole shoes at all times.
