Slammin' Watusis was an American punk rock and heavy metal group.
They signed a record deal with CBS Records in 1987,[1] which resulted in two albums, a self-titled debut album in 1988 and Kings of Noise in 1989.
They were influenced by Kiss, The Dickies, The Damned, Jackie McClean, Jimmy Reed, and Francis the Talking Mule.
[2] The band had five members: lead singer and guitarist Lee Popa, guitarist Mark Durante, wind instruments Frank Raven, bassist Clay Watusi, and drummer Benny Saffire.
A spinoff band, The Blue Watusis, was formed to play a more blues-oriented sound.
