		At least that's what Los Straitjackets, the World Famous Pontani Sisters and MC Kaiser George are counting on as they pull into Moe's Alley for their rock & roll Christmas Pageant.
		Although Los Straitjackets introduced "precision synchronized choreography" to their act years ago, guitarist Danny Amis admits they're no match for the Pontani Sisters when it comes to costumes and choreography: "Their dancing is far better than ours, their choreography is much better than ours and they're better to look at."
		Los Straitjackets perform and the World Famous Pontani Sisters with special guest MC Kaiser George, on Wednesday, Dec. 14, at 9pm, $18 day of show, at Moe's Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz; 831.479.1854.

	Morphizm.com -- Sing Along With Los Straitjackets
		Los Straitjackets, for those who might not know, are a group of surf music afficionados that show up onstage wearing Mexican wrestling masks and brandish fierce instrumentals with enough hook and bite that the X-Games tabbed them for a theme tune.
		And although that bite may be softer on this release, it's only because they back up far enough to let their talented vocalists share some of the spotlight, a move that pays off the majority of the tracks.
		Los Straitjackets' Latino revisionist spins on these standards is just one of many twists and turns that the band has to offer, which is part and parcel of their appeal.

	Los Straitjackets - Christmas Music At Randy's Rodeo
		Los Straitjackets are a crazed instrumental outfit in the energetic, early 60's tradition - except that they always perform dressed in Mexican wrestling masks.
		But despite the verve and skill Los Straitjackets bring to their performance, I have to consider it a second-rank album because it's clearly a tribute to the much earlier, highly regarded Ventures' Christmas Album.
		And like the Ventures, the Straitjackets toss in a couple of fun originals, "Christmas Weekend" and "Christmas In Las Vegas." In some ways, 'Tis The Season For Los Straitjackets is even better than the album on which it is modeled.

	TrouserPress.com :: Los Straitjackets
		Los Straitjackets have made a cottage industry of cheeky musical commentary on the interchangeability of early rock music.
		Unlike surf-revisionists Man or Astro-Man? and the Mermen, Los Straitjackets have always reveled in the genre's limitations.
		All in all, the album suggests that Los Straitjackets have become more confident composers and arrangers, and less directly dependent on the same old handful of influences.

		At only 34 minutes, it's a little on the short side, but there is a crisp conciseness to the tracks -- the majority of which run less than three minutes -- that harks back to the days when the perfect 45 rpm single packed in everything it needed.
		It also sounds like the singers were actually in the studio with the band, rather than overdubbed later, as they seem to feed off los Straitjackets' manic energy.
		A terrific concept that broadens the group's horizons while staying true to their American garage, rockabilly, and wave-riding roots, this is a most welcome addition to los Straitjackets' existing instrumental catalog, and a floorboard-shaking party disc as well.

	Los Straitjackets
		In their seven year career, Los Straitjackets has turned out four albums of breezy, instrumental Surf Rock, inspired by the California beach party antics of the Ventures, Link Wray, and other voiceless Rock bands from the 50s and 60s.
		The band is known for expressing their melodic prowess and sense of humor through the dueling guitars of Danny Amis and Eddie Angel, with rhythmic accompaniment from drummer Jimmy Lester and bassist Peter Curry.
		For their latest album, Sing Along With Los Straitjackets, released September 25 on Cavalcade/Yep Rock, the half Nashville, half Los Angeles-based quartet decides to explore the well-traveled territory of vocal accompaniment.

	Mongrel Music : Los Straitjackets
		For their first vocal release, 2001's Sing Along With Los Straitjackets, they rounded up an impressive guest list (including Reverend Horton Heat, Mark Lindsay, Exene Cervenka, Allison Moorer and Raul Malo) and took a crack at some '50s and '60s classics, sung in English and Spanish.
		The live album, Damas Y Caballeros Los Straitjackets!, recorded on the last night of the legendary Foothill Tavern in Long Beach, captures the energy of a particular crackling live performance by the band, expertly recorded by engineer Mark Linett.
		And their holiday release, 'Tis The Season for Los Straitjackets, led uber-critic Dave Marsh to declare it "the first good Christmas instrumental album I can remember." The band returned to prime instrumental form with 2003's Supersonic Guitars in 3D, recorded with producer and sonic scientist Mark Neill.

	EDDIE ANGEL AND LOS STRAITJACKETS
		Known by rockabilly fans as the lead guitarist for The Planet Rockers and the owner of Spinout Records, Eddie was on tour with Los Straitjackets when we hooked up on July 10, 2005 for his appearance at the Magic Stick in Detroit.
		Joining Los Straitjackets for this tour are the world famous Pontani Sisters, who have toured with Los Straitjackets several times, and bring to the stage animated choreography in skimpy costumes, infusing a substantial sexy burlesque treatment to their dancing.
		As soon as Los Straitjackets begin to play, the audience gets as close to the stage as they can, enjoying not only the sounds, but also the visual effects of the band, and the appearances of the world famous Pontani Sisters after each costume change.

		What I wouldn't give right now for one of those Mexican Lucha wrestling masks that the members of Los Straitjackets have worn and made their unique, inimitable gimmick ever since they formed in 1995.
		Luckily, this record is a very true account of the showmanship that Los Straitjackets possess, even after being processed onto plastic.
		And with its barrage of 64th notes, their version of Eddie and the Showman's "Squad Car" evokes the Dick Dale era and style more than the Ventures, who tended to be a larger influence on Los Straitjackets.

		Like The Ventures, Los Straitjackets are on the books as a surf rock band, but they play around with so many different styles, that to simply call them a surf band isn't entirely accurate.

		The Utterly Fantastic and Totally Unbelievable Sound (Upstart, 1995) revealed the crazy nostalgy for the instrumental Sixties (Duane Eddy, Link Wray, the Shadows and the Ventures) of the Los Straitjackets, a Nashville (Tennessee) combo led by guitarists Eddie Angel and Danny Amis (who briefly played in the A HREF=../vol4/raybeats.html>Raybeats), specialising in reverb-drenched and twang-tinged instrumentals.
		University Blvd, Caveman and Itchy Kitchen are impeccable snapshots of the sound of the early Sixties.
		Los Straitjackets are not blessed with the Shadowy Men On A Shadowy Planet's surreal fantasy or with Man Or Astroman's punk appeal.
