Music Page: Nasty Abbott

NASTY ABBOTT THEN- The Abbotts from Cabot have been playing music since the mid 80’s. In their early days, the Abbotts did their own thing and backed up local and national artists such as Cora Jones, Gino Wesley and the ‘58 Delrays, Frank Starr (50’s rockabilly recording artist) and Dean Mathis (60’s recording artist) of the Newbeats. The music varied from country to blues to rock-and-roll. At that time, the Abbotts consisted solely of brothers Robert, Lonnie, and Jay.

NOW- After a long 10 year break, the band reformed as Nasty Abbott in late September, 2005. They have since added yet another Abbott brother, Mike, on lead guitar and former lead singer of the Chicklettes, Kristin Goodwin. Their sound has grown into a unique sound that is totally new to Little Rock. Their music could be described as 60’s garage with an 80’s punk retro twist. The band is currently recording at Blackwater Studios in Cabot Arkansas and hope to release a CD later this year. Local radio station, 100.3 The Edge has been playing their song “Picture on my wall” on a program called Download, a Sunday night show featuring local and new music.
