That's not Herman. Traction pads didn't exist when the Munsters were on and they never did a surfing show. Batman on the other hand...

If you like this, try and find the precursor band, The Raybeats. Their album "Guitar Beat" is a lost masterpiece....a bit hard to find though.

If this floats your boat, try Shadowy Men on A Shadowy Planet.  Some fine CanCon.

Their music is even more fun in concert; they wear those masks on stage. I've seen them open for The Reverend Horton Heat, whose guitar playing was better live than on his albums.

Red Elvises ROCK. Saw them here at Jovita's years ago. That huge balalaika (sp?) was a hit.

Loves me some Los Straitjackets.

Surf rock and rockabilly, a couple of rock sounds you don't hear enough of these days. Sounds like a hell of a show!

Actually it reminds me of a jazzed up "Adams Family" soundtrack with cameos by Frankie and Anette.

 

Did you ever think that maybe the Addams Family and Munsters soundtracks liberally drank from the well of the surf guitar? In other words, the surfing egg came first.

Not a bad song, but it's those Mexican wrestling masks on the cover that do it for me. My sons and I picked up some really sweet masks like those on a trip to Mexico. They are our prized possession. I wrestle under the name "Picante Poblano"

Yes, but with the campiness of the B-52s' "Rock Lobster."

Wow. I think I saw these guys in Allentown at the yearly music festival. I just thought they were some crazy crossbreed between a local garage band, and pro wrestlers.
Posted 16 years ago by gabbadar    [ Reply ]
Great band. Saw 'em at the Knitting Factory, Oct '06 in NYC... with the sisters... and Kaiser George... what a hoot! Like the B52s meet Robert Gordon... nice to hear 'em here on RP!

Going to see them on 11/3 here in C-bus and looking forward to it. I've never seen them with the dancing sisters on stage with them.

If the new Jack Black movie Nacho Libre does not have a Los Straightjackets song in it I am going to be sorely disappointed :)

Yes it does. But to me, this doesn't sound funny. Unconventional or obscure? Yes. But humorous? No, not really.

I highly recommend this entire album; great party music.
