Eddie Angel was twangin’ around Nippertown with a parade of rather diverse bands – Swump Road, the Star Spangled Washboard Band, Tino & the Revlons, Barbara & the Idiots, Rockin’ Dakotas and lots more – before heading down to Nashville with Jeannie Smith & the Hurricanes.
When that band called it quits, Angel stayed in Music City, and after a stint with the Planet Rockers, eventually put together a retro-rock instrumental combo that pumped out surf ‘n’ twang classics – both originals and catalog hits – wearing wearing Mexican wrestling masks. The band was, at least partly, just a fun goof.
But it was a goof that stuck. Now 15 years after the release of their debut album, Los Straitjackets have toured the world, recorded more than a dozen albums, and they’re still going strong.
