[Houston] High quality rockabilly,
blended with rock and roll and spaghetti western (kinda). Country twang too.
Tremble (sp?) from Austin was on drums. More refined guitar and drums, and well
defined loops and ditties. Rockboy thought the vocals were the weak link of the
band. We were exhausted by this point – Rockboy dealt by taking a little nap –
I dealt by becoming a feminazi in my head. Hating on rockabilly girls who dress
up like dolls for men, and alternative cultures that celebrate burlesque while
all the time maintaining that they hold more progressive attitudes toward
women. Amusing event #1: I walked by a group of greasers leaning against a pool
table – a group of pinups walked by, and one of the girls turned to look one of
the guys up and down. He was totally flustered, didn’t respond, and she
sauntered on while all of his friends elbowed him and laughed. I’d happened
upon a scene from a 50s movie. Amusing event #2: I went to the bar and ordered
2 PBRs – very drunk kind of scary pinup ordered a mixed drink with all sorts of
side specifications. The bartender muttered to himself, “Some women are
complicated, some women are not.” The pinup and I made eye contact, there was
an uncomfortable pause – luckily, she laughed and changed her order to a PBR. (Photo courtesy of
