Long before Stevie Tombstone arrived in Austin, his mid-Eighties psychobilly outfit the Tombstones tore through Atlanta like a tornado through Waffle House. Though the Tombstones' distinctively ghoulish bent assured they'd never attain the mass appeal of the Georgia Satellites, songs like "Jailhouse Tattoo" and "No Body" continue to pack resonance even in their state of advanced decomposition.
