This was a very good show and proves that just because you are proficient, you don’t have to play crappy music. The seasonal classics by Los Straitjackets, (Halloween Movie Theme and Classics IV: Spooky were appreciated. I hadn’t seen Big Sandy in several years and expected them to be more western swing but w/o the steel, it was very rock and roll/rockabilly. Very nice. I especially liked the encore with both bands playing together.
Beer advocate is just wrong for giving Lemp a C-. If you can find a better commonly available lager, I wish you’d buy me one (or twelve).

I'll be there as a spectator along with a special guest appearance of Malcolm Robertson (Bourbon Knights, Hippie Repellent).  I'll be looking forward to some Lemp.

This is not to be missed!

We have the honor of opening the Saturday night show! Festival includes appearances by the Fleshtones, The Sights, Mondo Topless, the River City Tanlines, the Beatdowns and more! Get all the details and RSVP here:

THE NEVERMORES

My documentary short "The Lucky Bastards Car Club" (aka The Car Club) will air Sunday, October 24th at 10:30 pm on TPT (PBS) channel 2. (Replays at 4:00 am)

I saw that The 5678s are playing at Third Man Records in Nashville, TN on October 22nd if this is helpful to anyone.

There were alot of people there. The opening band was fairly good, I'd give them a B. They seemed like nice people and had a sense of humor so that brought the grade up from a C+. 5678s played for a good long time; 3 encores, I think. There was a good mix of originals and covers. They added a piano player for a few songs (Great Balls Of Fire stood out to me). Killer fuzz on the guitar. You could tell the band were having a good time, especially near the end when Omo did her screaming. I had a real hoot and I'm glad I went.

Yeah, how was the show? I coincidentally happen to be listening to them right now.

Ooooeee and Woo Hoo, did they ever Bomb the Twist and do the Barracuda!

Sounds good. Memphis and Nashville aren't that much farther from me than StL so I plan on making more road trips.

Hey Dave,

I haven't met you yet, but I'm not gonna make this one, maybe we can do a raincheck on another some time!


Look forward to meeting you sometime!

Keep Rockin'

Yeah Oct 17. I don't see any other U.S. dates. Looks like I'm going El lobo solo. That's alright, I'll have my Yuengling to keep me warm

Cool, those are two of my favorite tracks! If you've noticed your MySpace plays have gone up significantly in the past few days, that's because I've been listening to Los Diablos Blancos a lot. I wish I had known about you guys when you were together.

As far as jamming, you got the thumbs up from Jeff and I, but we're still waiting to hear back from our bass player, Mike. By any chance, would you be able to play any supplemental keyboard parts? You wouldn't need to have keys, just wondering if you can play at all?

TJ said:

Huge sigh of relief... Those guys suck! LOL... Checked out your myspace page, I really dig your stuff. "Moon Elevator" sounds like an out-take from The Pretty Things' 'S.F. Sorrow' LP. I love it! "Love's Hope" is pretty fucking amazing, too. Your singer sounds like the dude in the Ro-D-Ys, the old Dutch band from the 60's. Is that you playing drums in Los Diablos Blancos? I remember The Netptunes by name only, but I'm sure Jeff (ex-Dollface, ex-The Bugs) will remember Larry. BTW, Jeff used to co-own Chocolate Ladyland with Dave Moe. I see the Bugs are in your top friends, as are Dick Taut & The Ripcords. The Jeffs from The Bugs are two of my best friends, and I've been a fan of Dick Taut & The Ripcords since I discovered them on mp3.com a decade ago. Those guys cracked me up.

Jeff and I are road-tripping down to the St. Louis area tomorrow to play pinball at C.P. Pinball. I just sent him a text message and I'm sure we'll talk more about it tomorrow. As far as I'm concerned, you got my vote, but I have to clear it with Jeff and Mike first. I'll keep you posted!

No thats not the Los Diablos Blancos. My brother in Law Larry who was our bass player was in the Neptunes who used to play with DollFace. Thats cool about the practice thing these things don't often come together if it works out thats great if not no problem. http://www.myspace.com/losdiablosblancospeoria

I want to do some rockin! I pretty much do all originals and select covers for fun. Got kids so once or twice a week max. I am a guitar player and I like to beat the drums on occasion. Used to play with Los Diablos Blancos although I doubt you've heard of us. If you want to get together sometime give me a call 275.8029

I'm coming to New York next May, assuming they'll still be open then, which are the best record stores for garage and punk vinyl. I'd like to find somewhere that stocks a lot of Norton stuff as well as smaller labels I can't get in the UK. All suggestions welcome.

Just moved to Brooklyn. My band Dead Sexy Sheila is fresh off the boat http://www.myspace.com/deadsexysheila

Howdy, y'all.  I'm writing to ask if any surf/garage/rock n' roll bands in the Northeast want to discuss show trades.  We're Beware The Dangers Of A Ghost Scorpion!, an instrumental Horror-Surf combo from Boston.  We're down with a ton of cool clubs/house venues in this area and would love to discuss getting a trade going on.  Also, any info on cool house venues in the Maine to Maryland region would be awesome!  Clubs are great, but we really dig basements.  Get in touch and we'll get the ball rolling!

Fears,
V.V. Delambre, BTDOAGS!
