Journal elmegil's Journal: (almost) the oddest show ever 1
A buddy convinced me to go see Los Straitjackets with him last night. If you haven't heard of them, they're a surf/rockabilly band that does instrumentals (mostly). Their schtick is that they wear mexican wrestler masks, and while I'm suspicious that they (band members, not masks) aren't really mexican (based on a number of observations), they address the audience in fast, Sabadoh Gigante style spanish except for song titles and people's names, etc. And did I mention that I think the masks are piss-takes on KISS's makup? The bassist is a demon, one of the guitarists has the Ace Frehly thing going on, and the drummer has stripes on his cheeks.
Making it more interesting, they had The World Famous Pontani Sisters with them, coming out to dance about every third song. Oh, and did I mention that this was mostly Christmas music? Yeah.
If you have a chance to see this show, it is definitely worth it, unless of course you hate surfabilly.
So what's your favorite off-the-beaten-path Christmas music? I'm also a huge fan of Brave Combo's Christmas shows....
update to clarify: I realize they're real mexican wrestling masks, but it just seemed an odd coincidence that the bassist was a demon, etc.
