It may be a
chilly fall day, but this will be one of the hottest shows of the year! Los
Straitjackets, the world’s leading guitar Instrumental band, are joined by axe
wielder extraordinaire Deke Dickerson for a mind blowing evening of music jams
so intense they will burn the paint right off the walls. Well maybe not that
intense, but the show is going to be amazing.
So break out your finest Mexican
wrestling mask and head on down to the Bag.
The B-Sides kick off the evening.
The
World's #1 Instrumental Combo team up with roots-music legend Deke Dickerson.
They will be playing material from their brand new album "Los Straitjackets:
Deke Dickerson Sings The Instrumental Hits" but expect plenty of surf-honky tonk
- rockabilly-garage madness as these twang-masters join forces for the most
entertaining show you'll see all year.
When it
comes to delivering high-energy rock and roll instrumental music, no one equals
the finesse, power and perseverance of Grammy-nominated Los Straitjackets. It’s
been 20 years since the Nashville-bred band first dressed in their easily
recognizable attire of Lucha Libre masks. Since then the group has toured around
the world, released 11 studio albums, finding to time to record and tour with
El Vez, Dave Alvin, The Reverend Horton Heat, Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers
and Big Sandy-- to name just a few.
Deke
Dickerson has kept the flame alive for real rock & roll, since he was the
frontman for Missouri's legendary Untamed Youth. Since then every project
(including his The Dave and Deke Combo, The Go Nuts, Blind Rage and Violence)
Deke pursues has brought his unparalleled musicianship and flair for
entertainment to the forefront. He has collaborated with many of his heroes
including Duane Eddy, Larry Collins of The Collins Kids, Randy Fuller (of the
Bobby Fuller Four) and The Trashmen. His work as bandleader at the Ponderosa
Stomp and ringmaster of the Guitar Geek festivals, and as an author have helped
keep the spotlight shown on the first generations of rock &
rollers.
