Los Straitjackets

Postby flyboy 28 » Wed Aug 10, 2005 9:38 am

No, the members here didn't form their own band. ::)

Los Straitjackets is a surf band my dad and I both like and we got my mom hooked on 'em too. They really put on a good show, not with the fancy digital effects, but like doing the can-can or messing around with each other. It's fun. We went during Musikfest. Basically the same thing as Oktoberfest, but instead of beer, there was music. :) There was still beer though. :P

Oh, and those masks are Mexican wrestling masks. The group is orignally from Nashville, Tennessee, but with a name "Los Straitjackets", the theme is to go along with the Latino feel. :) And the guy in the silver mask spoke all in Spanish, even though he sounded like a fruit in the process. ;D

Not the original drummer. Dunno where he is. Oh, and the kit may look small, but the sounds this guy was able to produce were amazing.

What I was talking about, about stage performance

Broken string! Look closely at his thigh (sp?) and you can see it dangling

On the fly. That takes talent, to replace a string in less than two minutes. :o

I'm going again to see them on Thursday. I ran out of battery last night so I'll charge 'em. :)

lol, what makes you think changing a string takes a long time to do?

Getting it to stay in tune everytime does!  ;D
