This is a great track. I play it , sometimes , when I play all - Mexican R'n'R DJ sets . It gives you a good idea of how these early bands interpreted the American stuff , adding their own wildness to it.... But , it's not actually an Elvis cover. The intro does sound like "Heartbreak Hotel" , but , it's one of their tunes. Then did do some cool Elvis covers like " Es No Importante" (Baby , I Don't Care.). They were in a few movies like this one. I don't have any of 'em.

Yes indeed  try ...Alberto Y los Trios Paranoias [ not south american but UK 70's punk ...still v. cool ]  look youtube for 'Kill' 'Gobbing on Life' etc  - maybe someone should complile the definitive list of bands with 'Los' innit ; )

John Battles said : They (Alberto.) had a great song called "Fuck You" (Such originality.) that I even remember hearing on (Late night.) radio in the 80's. "El Monstruo" by Los Shaynes is kind of a medley of "Out of Limits" and "The Crusher" with the MOST terrifying vocal that makes Black Metal sound like Raffi.

There was an English translation to "Demolicion" in Ugly Things. You can probably tell , even if you don't speak fluent Spanish , it's about wrecking a train station. And then some.

MOST Los - bands definitely  kick ass , but , if you're looking for Mexican R'n'R , you will find a lot of Balladeers and guys with big cowboy hats getting in your way (Not That Tigres Del Norte and real stompin' Conjunto music does'nt kick ass.). Still , some of my Mexican friends told me to avoid Los Apson. Too late . But , when they were ON , which was most of the time , they were on. I even went to see them once , an extremely rare U.S. appearance by a 60's - era Mexican Rock'n'Roll band. But , what I did'nt know was , they were wrapping up their last song when I got there.

Los Vidrios Quebrados, Los Mac's, Kaleidoscope, New Juggler Sound, The Shakers - all well worth seeking out.

I just found a Los Flippers album , too ! It is great , though a lot of it is covers , in Spanish (A recurring theme. Don't get me wrong . I love hearing stuff like that.). Mexico and South America produced a LOT of them. I forget , sometimes , which countries some of the Sudamerican bands were from.

Mexico (We'll drop the "Los" ) - Teen Tops , Johnny Jets , Locos Del Ritmo , Apson , Camisas Negras , Beatniks , Rockin' Devils , Blue Cats , Monstruos , Hooligans , Rebeldes Del Rock , Hitters , Crazy Boys , Babys , Freddys , Monejes , Yaki  

Eddie Con Los Shades (Early Freddy Fender. Recorded in South Texas , but released for the Mexican market.) 

3 Souls in My Mind (Insane Psych - Blues , morphed into the still - phenomenally popular El Tri , whose CDs are very easy to find .)

 

South America - Pets , Las Mosquitas (All girl Beat group), York , Mockers , St.Thomas Pepper Smelter (I'll have to check that name again.) , Yettis , Jockers , Shains , Saicos....

There's a lot of others , I can't think of 'em , now.  i JUST SAW THAT SOME OF THESE WERE MENTIONED , ALREADY. Mexico's Rock'n'Roll industry did'nt really start until about 1960 , with the first releases by Los Teen Tops and Los Camisas Negras, it WAS STILL VERY 50'S - ORIENTED , and wild as a motherfucker. Some of these bands lasted into the mid 60's , and even longer , and cut some great "Garage " and "Psych" sides along the way. Others , like Los Babys and Los Freddys (Both of whom , I think , are still around , today.) went Pop , very fast . A lot of the Mexican R'n'R bands are still around in some form , today , and all you have to do is get on You Boob , click on a name , like "Los Teen Tops " or "Los Locos Del Ritmo" and all these great videos will appear.

The sleepers are a really good band, i saw them a couple of months ago, yeah they start rocking at 60s and still playing whit a lot of balls, they visited Mexico City whit Los Saicos and was a really cool session. Look for a record called Delincuentes, there are a lot of great latin bands from 40 years ago.

Would love to have you guys on my podcast/radio show out of Bangkok!!!  Give me a holler back! Hey, I can get ya a gig at Spice Girls .... lol :)

¡VAMOS CON EL ÚLTIMO EPISODIO DEL TOCADISCOS SALVAJE!

I'm really interested in (and curious about) life in Belize. It's very tempting to move there since the cost of living is so low compared with that of the United States, and it's also home to a lot of American, Canadian, and British ex-pats, and the official language is English (very helpful for those of us who only know a little Spanish). So I'm curious if there are any Hideout members who are from Belize, or who may have moved there. Looking for tips on everything! I'm not sure how serious I am about moving there (uprooting our family from the Midwest would be quite a chore), but it doesn't hurt to check it out.

Five months on Japan is still recovering from the devastation caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake that struck on March 11, 2011. I put together this benefit comp called HEAL THE COAST: A Homespun Tsunami Benefit featuring a variety Japanese punk running the gamut from garage to Irish, ska and and some psychobilly. There's also a few tracks from overseas bands known for touring Japan in the past several years.

HEAL THE COAST was released in early May, but I haven't been promoting it as much as I should. 100% of the proceeds gets donated directly to the Japanese Red Cross Society. There's 23 raucous tracks to help the continued recovery for only $10!!
