As the holidays rapidly approach, many bands are squeezing in last minute tours to give their fans one last taste of the good stuff before the new year.
They would be joined by one-of-a-kind rocker Deke Dickerson later in the set, but to get things going the lucha libre-masked quartet cranked out a string of instrumental surf rock classics to get the crowd moving.
Asked about the humor in his music, Frank Zappa said that music is supposed to be entertaining. I imagine that the members of Los Straitjackets would say the same thing.
When I think of Los Straitjackets, I am fondly transported to my first day at college at Cal State Fullerton, where the band was playing a free afternoon show for students.
