Kit and the Outlaws

Kit and the Outlaws

Kit and the Outlaws were an American Garage/Protopunk band, active in the mid-1960s. Their music was typical of the era, using familiar riffs, not unlike those used by more well-known bands such as The Rumours, The Weeds, or The Vibrations.

Their most famous song is "Don't Tread on Me". A anthem of rebellion, the song is adapted from a classic ruff used by numerous garage bands, taken from the song "Hang on Sloopy". It was later covered by punk band The Cramps, albeit with different lyrics, as "Nest of the Cukoo Bird". It was later called one of the greatest punk singles ever recorded.
