Yeah, the Hank Watson one is good too. How about the one about the Cokes
in the icebox, the Lucky Strikes, and bring my the head of Alfredo
Garcia? I'm not sure what that one's called, but I listen to Shrunken
Head just for that one sometimes.
I really like the Tiki Man CD too, especially "You Don't Scare Me", "The
Meat", and "Mambo Room."
The first time I ever saw Deadbolt, they wore their usual getup of black
jeans and tee shirts, leather vests with the patches, boots, and the dark
glasses. They made their usual jokes. When they played "Tiki Man," all
the guys wore carved tikis around their necks that had glowing eyes. Les
Vegas had shrunken heads and bones bouncing around the outside of his
bass drum. Between every song, they gave their neat hairdoos a hefty
helping of Aqua Net, then lit a fresh cigarette, which hung from their
mouths throughout the next song. After that, in conjunction with the
display of sparks, I knew I had a new favorite band. I quit seeing their
shows after Les Vegas left, but I imagine the shows are still full of
laughs and audience interaction.
If you have a chance, catch one of their shows. It's well worth it. You
can see their tour dates on their web site. They have a message forum at
downinthelab.com.
I have that Halloween Hootenanny CD too. It's great because it has the
Bomboras (I always liked their fiery organ act), Satan's Pilgrims,
Frenchy (which is the band in which East Bay Ray from the Dead Kennedys
is in), the Amazing Crowns (excellent rockabilly), The Reverend Horton
Heat, etc. Rob Zombie put that one out around the same time Head
Shrinkin' Fun (Bomboras) and A Haunting We Will Go Go (Ghastly Ones) came
out. I think Rob did his Hellbilly Deluxe CD on that label too, but I
think those are the only ones on Zombie A Go Go. Maybe someone else in
this group knows more about this.
Ex-Bomboras members + others formed the Legendary Invisible Men. Has
anyone heard about them lately?

The Ice Box song is called Slap. I actually check out their site quite often to
see if they're passing through town or anywhere close. I like pretty much the
whole Halloween Hootenanny album, but my fav is "Werewolves on Wheels." The Born
Losers must have been a temporary band made from guys in the other bands.
Hellbilly Deluxe was a major label, but the Halloween comp. was on Zombie's own
Zombie-A-Go-Go records. He's supposed to start it back up again, but too much
other stuff I suppose. Can't find much on the Legendary Invisible Men. Maybe
they......disappeared? Did you hear "Hobo Babylon?" I haven't picked it up yet.

No, I've never heard Hobo Babylon or Voodoo Trucker. It seems as time
goes on, I like the material less. I have Tijuana Hit Squad and Zulu
Death Mask, both of which are funny, but get a little more silly than the
first two. I still like it, though.
Every album has a story. Tijuana Hit Squad has this inside:
"Two Shriners and a drummer from a famous punk band were down in Chebo
Mexico on a fishing trip. They got drunk and forced themselves on a
village girl. They went back to the states and laughed and bragged to
all their friends.
Everyone in the village pooled their money and hired the notorious
Tijuana Hit Squad. 100,000 pesos and a case of El Presidente Brandy.
Three men would soon die very violently."
They really have a thing against clowns too. That's ok with me.
Brian had mentioned Harley's guitar. I believe that he had commented
about the size of the neck. Come to think of it, it did seem rather
small for Harley's hands. Sometimes Harley's brother, Mark, plays. He
is a Harley look alike--you can tell they're brothers.
Their songs are simple, nothing fancy. The bass lines are 3 or 4 notes
usually, but it's still good-- kind of like the Ramones. (Uh-Oh! long
hair!)
As far as the Invisible Men, I have their CD, but listen to it rarely.
It's got a lot of fuzz, etc. Not so much surf. My friend saw them with
the Tiki Tones once. I don't know how those guys pulled off live shows.
I always think Los Straitjackets are hot and uncomfortable under those
masks, but the Invisible Men completely bandage their faces, trying to
look like there is no face. They also put on hats and dark glasses and
wear smoking jackets. I would suffocate!
