"That Weemus Sound"

This site is a knowlege base for all things Weemus. It is about Weemus Studio, the home and founder of Wackabilly music. The Weemus Sound has roots splaying the alternative Americana gospel clappings of Col. Lonnie Fain and His Smilin' Mighty Jesus Singers to the raucous alternative punkjabs of Baby Weemus, its influences heard in the synphonic majesty of compositions by Elijah Cole and the woozy warblings of Baby Jean Peek doing an April Stevens tune. Miss April was the original, sparking catalyst for Weemus Studio. Her legendary hit "Baby Weemus" (1963)is still heard through the corridors of the studio. "I had listened to 'Baby Weemus' for twenty years in preparation for this gig," chortles the Colonel, owner and founder,"and this place is like a shrine to her perserverance and overwhelming and immortal sizzle." Ralph Bailey is the resident crooner, staff announcer and administrative assistant at Weemus. He speaks of the Colonel,and it's with steroids blazing Ralph's face lights up, almost igniting the cigarette he's been carrying for over an hour. "I thought my days at Weemus were finished. I came into the soundstage with Karlheinz Stockhausen, Frankie Laine and Raymond Scott albums under my arm and he doesn't say a word," he jumps as if we were going to shoot at him, "I turn to walk out and he grabs me and drags me out in the lobby with this euphoria about how 'Cry of the Wild Goose' and 'How Lovely Cooks the Meat' had been running through his head. I was shocked, you know, knowing his rep. I do know we both are crazy about Ziggy Lane." Scroaty Odum, rebellious aging R&B and Blues singer who works part-time as one of the studio's twenty-three security guards, has just signed with Weemus. He is rumored to be the force behind the new drive to boost the 'billy' in Wackabilly." He has been in the studio for months preparing his premiere CD, "Here's Scroaty Odum." As they try-out new styles, we follow Weemus Studio with new release info and reveals on the history of this noble breed - THAT WEEMUS SOUND!
