Back in my hotel safe and sound, 230 am over here Sunday
Leave to JFK in mid-afternoon
The final night of THE WIPE OUT FESITVAL www.wipeoutfestival.com is over
I am totally drained - had like 2 vacations in 1 -- all day in BARCELONA all
night in CALELLA for surf - garage twangin´ times
UNSTEADY FREDDIE had the pleasure of not only meeting DAVIE ALLAN and taking a
few photos, but he gave me an INTERVIEW for TWANG SHEBANG ! And did he knock
the fuzz off the back of my neck - the KING OF THE FUZZ GUITAR was in great
form; I have a copy of his set list, will post it soon
Opening tonight were THE IMPERIAL SURFERS - 3 piece led by me new amigo ESTEBAN
(they are from SPAIN) -- I also have their set list and will post that too; the
boys dedicated one of heir tunes, ¨SIN SAN SUN¨ to your truly! Esteban bless
you and your band mates, and love to SYLVIA -- wonderful people
HIPBONE SLIM from the UK played 3 piece authentic (more or less) rockabilly,
including stand-up bass, shades of THE ROCKATS (but no sign of ROBERT GORDON
anywhere); and speaking of ROBERT GORDON, EDDIE ANGEL told me he and PETE CURRIE
of LOS STRAITJACKETS play on ROBERT´S NEW ALBUM! So check that out too. HIPBONE
SLIM & THE KNEE TREMBLERS is he group´s full name. Those that know BRITISH
SLANG know what a KNEE-TREMBLER is but I am too proper to reveal the translation
here (PETER NOONE I recall had a band called THE KNEE TREMBLERS in the late 70´s
or early 80´s didnt he?)
LOST ACAPULCO from Mexcio (Mexican wrestling masks once again making the scene)
played a scary powerful monster set.....wonderful guys, got a copy of their CD
autographed by the lads, called ACAPULCO GOLDEN
Davie Allan also signed 3 CDs for me - LIVE RUN, FUZZ FEST and LOUD LOOSE AND
SAVAGE (the autograph on the latter one says KEEP FUZZIN´)
THE MAHARAJAS from Sweden were up next, playing a 95% vocal set, which I didnt
hear all of b-c of the interview with DAVIE ALLAN; also spoke with FRANCOIS of
LES PLAYBOYS
Gonna try and get some shut-eye
JESUS WAS THIS A BLAST AND A HALF, NO MAKE THAT AT LEAST 2 BLASTS
Reverb, fuzz, tremelo, surf beat, etc etc etc - PHENOMENAL
Adios SURF GARAGE TWANG LOVERS
UNSTEADY FREDDIE, leaving Spain with mucho new international friends, like BETO
of LOS DERRUMBES, for instance

and LOVE YOU ¨JOAN¨ from WIPEOUT BOOKINGS for all the arrangements that went
flawlessly
