Los Straitjackets

New fan of this band. Wish I had been sooner. Fun band- good music

This show was amazing. These three bands together bring their talent and fun to the stage in an all around great show. Definitely recommend any of these bands. I've seen Los Straitjackets many times and they are well worth any distance I've traveled to see them. I love the solo of Mr. Sugar Balls during Sing, Sing, Sing.

The three bands at this event (in order of appearance) were the Fleshtones, Southern Culture On The Skids, and Los Straitjackets. As always, the Straitjackets were excellent followed closely by S.C.O.T.S. However, the Fleshtones, who I had never heard before, were an extreme disappointment! These mature "musicians" were essentially a high-school garage band that never grew up. Their music lacked any degree of sophistication in composition and was almost child-like with regard to their use of lyrics. Unfortunately, they happened to be the first band on stage, so I could not leave the premises. Apparently they must have a very skillful agent, as most venues would not be likely to hire such a band based on a demo CD alone. Despite the Fleshtones, the rest of the show was excellent and demonstrated true musical talent.

What a great show! Southern Culture on the Skids and Los Straitjackets were amazing! Ritz Carlton as a surprise guest! Dancing zombies! Fried chicken! Tons of fun!

My girlfriend (and now wife) told me about this guitar band that I would LOVE! I am a closet guitar FREAK, and since the best way to describe these guys is "surf guitar", I thought it would be GREAT to see them....then she started to tell me about the Mexican Wrestling masks...and the shows...and I thought "how odd"..... A few months later my wife had some friends give her tickets as they could not go to a show and talked me into going..."It's free" she said..what do you have to lose....I agreed and we went to 1st Ave in Mpls to see them... Within 5 min I was a FAN! These guys are GREAT! The atmosphere of the show was FUN and as players they are GREAT! Imagine Dick Dale....or the Trashmen.....if you know or enjoy their music...you will love these guys! As I continue to go to different shows....I have become fans of the Pontani Sisters, Big Sandy, and Deke Dickerson! All people they have played with and ALL great artists! All I can say...JUST GO to a SHOW! You WILL leave with a smile!

Great show. Opening act sucked though. It was a comedian who wasn't the least bit funny....
