I see by the calendar that the Red Elvises will be playing Sept. 2 at the Mystic Theater in Petaluma, CA. However, when I go to their website to order tickets, there is no listing of this show. What gives?

You're looking at August, not September. They were there a few weeks ago.

Are the Red Elvises any good anymore? I have that Surfing in Siberia and their 1st album. But it seems like they're not that good anymore. I don't think of them as surf, but that old stuff of theirs I like. This video is recent, but its the only one that I like. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqhVZX_XOx4
I forget what that Scale is called, but he shure uses it well. And alot of people use that one.

Yeah, The Pyronauts opened that show at the Mystic. They are always a good show but lately they have been especially tight and energetic. The Mystic is a cool venue and it was fun to see the Pyros rock that place. There were some old sci-fi movie clips showing on a screen above the stage...not sure where those came from but it put a whole new spin on the Pyros' set.

That was my first Red Elvises show. Not surf at all, but a very fun roknroll show. I'd definitely recommend seeing them if you can. The crowd loved them and they kept the dance floor packed the whole time. They're a party band, for sure.

Guess I'm old, but when their 10 minute break hit nearly 30 minutes, I started thinking about the 3 hour trip home (it was after midnight) and ended up bailing out a couple songs into their second set.

their shows are always, for me, a joy; crazy fun music, good times, just a slight hint of surf here and there; the lyrics are worth checking out b/c they have a wicked sense of humor

the crowds at MUSIKFEST in Bethlehem Pa. recently were, as usual, completely nuts for the band

I can second that the Mystic Theater is a nice venue in a 60's town. Make that a 40's town. That was the impression I got the first time I was there. I saw The Machine, a Pink Floyd tribute band, at the Mystic. They too were showing a film during their performance. I'll bet you can guess which one.
Sorry I missed the recent double bill.
UF, which band were you referring too?

The Mystic is a cool place to go..the upstairs loges offer a comfy vantage point. I've seen Dick Dale the last five or six years there (hope again soon) and was awesome//Pyronauts also! The original lineup of The Blasters were there a few years ago and slayed the crowd..Dave Alvin played like his life depended on it..or maybe his soul ala Crossroads...
