Setzer Sues Former Bandmate

Rockabilly-swing artist Brian Setzer has filed a federal suit against his

former bandmate in the pre-Stray Cats group the Bloodless

Pharaohs for copyright infringement and unauthorized trafficking in sound

recordings, according to Billboard. In the suit, filed Oct. 29 in U.S. District

Court in Los Angeles, Setzer alleges that former bandmate Ken

Kinnally, without Setzer's consent, licensed recordings made in 1978

and 1979 to Collectibles Records, which issued the recordings as the Brian

Setzer & the Bloodless Pharaohs LP. Setzer seeks an injunction barring

distribution of the album; the amount sought for damages will be announced in court.
