Real rock & roll to kick off the show |

Night of the Bomboras
|
"Head Shrinkin' Fun"-- the Bomboras 4th album-- came out in 1998 on the Zombie A Go-Go label. |
| Tailgators |
Swamp's Up
|
Don Leady wrote "Ride of the Ruthless" and played on the first (of two) "Big Guitars from Texas" album. Tailgators are a great swamp boogie/twang power trio, always hot. |
| The 5, 6, 7, 8's |
Woo Hoo
|
This version of the Rock-A-Teens 1950s hit comes from the "Kill Bill, Volume 1" soundtrack. |
| Bernhard Hermann |

More Kill Bill. Tarantino always has good taste in music. |

These guys can play and sing pretty good too. They did this tune on "Rolling Stones Now" back in 1965 |
| Darrell Nulish |
Orange Soda
|
Neat harmonica instrumental from "Blues Harp Power"-- a collection from Rounder (aka Easy Disc) with lots of good blues guys |
| Barbarians |
That's What the New Breed Say
|
I stumbled onto these guys in Provincetown, MA, on Cape Cod in the 60s. Rhino issued a great collection of their stuff, on vinyl, in 1979; now it's all on CD on Sundazed. |
| Barry & the Remains |
Lonely Weekend
|
Maybe the best ever Boston rock & roll band-- which, some would say, is not saying much. This rockin' version of Charlie Rich tune was recorded in NYC in 1966. |
| Duke & the Drivers |
Jack That Cat Was Clean
|
Back together after decades, these Bostonians are a blast. |
| Crazy Joe & the Variable Speed Band |
Eugene
|
A cool dude in a loose mood! Ace Frehley had something to do with this 1978 classy tune. |
| Mink Deville |
Cadillac Walk

Texas bands, far from the ocean, still know how to surf. From "Garage Justice, Vol 1"-- 20 bands from NYC & Austin fight it out. |

Drink, Dance and Boogie
|
Felix Reyes and Hash Brown mix it up on "Texas Lovers" which mostly features Dallas bands |
