Just a reminder. Last time I think Eddie's guitar strap fell off. I hope things go better this time!

I'm guessing it will be one song and since they are supporting their Rock En Espanol CD, Big Sandy will be singing. —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

Thank goodness for the almighty DVR! I've got mine set too. There is no way I could stay up that late on a work night to check it out live. —Check out Rat Surf Radio - Surf Trash Garage Punk PODCAST! |

Strike me down but.........i just saw Los Straitjackets on Conan and being the first time i ever saw them......i wasn't too impressed......i know, i know, everybody raves about 'em and i must be wrong. I wish they would have done an instro but they're hyping that record of Spanish versions of 60's tunes or whatever. I don't know.....i just got home from a 4 hour rehearsal so maybe my ears were shot........or maybe i should be shot!! I love LSJ but i wasn't impressed tonight. —The TakeOffs |

Ditto. The vocal harmony was awful, and aside from Pete Curry's fine bass work, their playing seemed uninspired. I used to be a HUGE LSJ fan, own everything they ever recorded through Supersonic Guitars in 3-D, did the Surfin' to Baja cruise in 2003, etc. I've tried to accept them as someone else's backup band, but for me, it just doesn't work.

I could have set my DVR... but I didn't. I actually saw them in Psycho Beach Party a couple days ago. The good ol' days. |

I stayed up and watched and have to agree pretty unimpressive. Big Sawndy just doesnt do it for me. Some of the stuf they did with Kaiser George is pretty good and the Pontanni Sisters can make a dog pile look and sound good. Give me LSJ in instrumental mode and I will be happy. —2012-2013: FILTHY POLAROIDS |

I didn't see the performance but my wife did last night. She is a HUGE Jimmy Lester fan and thinks that LSJ is just not the same band without him. Based on how she described their performance last night... she might be right. —Ron (ToneBoy) |

I'm a big Jimmy Lester fan too. But I like Jason (Teen Beat). I really like his other band the Hi-risers too. I look at it this way, LSJ has been at this for what, 15 years or so? They have to do something to mix it up. I don't think they'd still be packing the big venues if they continued to crank out the same ol' instro CD after instro CD. I think the variety that they've added is way better than alot of other directions they could have gone. They still mix in a healthy amount of instros in their set, and they'll probably go back to making an all instro CD again at some point. Plus, the variety helps boost the popularity of Big Sandy, Pontanis, Kaiser George etc... and that doesn't hurt either. So, rock on, LSJ!!! -Paul —Paul |

Nice to see them getting time on national television, but I really preferred the days when it was just the four guys and their instruments playing in small clubs for an $8 cover charge |

I realized right before we went to bed that we have no functional VCR's in the house anymore, and apparently haven't had one for some time. Oops. —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

I liked it and I guess I'm in the lesser group on this one, but I will agree that the backing vocals sounded off. The stuff with Big Sandy comes off REALLY great in a live situation in a club. I think the the most fun I've had at Straitjacket shows have been when either Kaiser George or Big Sandy were singing. Or the Pontani's were dancing. —"as he stepped into the stealthy night air... little did he know the fire escape was not there" https://www.facebook.com/reluctantaquanauts/ |
my VCR is set and ready to go!!! don't care what they play, just glad to see em!!!
