LOS STRAITJACKETS with EL VEZ
Viva Christmas 2009 [no label, 2CD]
Live at the Crofoot Ballroom, Pontiac, MI; December 10, 2009. Very good audience recording.

While those in the hot tropics dream of a White Christmas, let’s spare a thought to those affected by the snowy weather in Europe and elsewhere.

Meanwhile, as the Los Straitjackets site says:
What happens when a squadron of guitar-wielding Lucha Libra heroes on their way to rescue Santa Claus get lost on their way to North Pole and end up wandering the strees of East LA? Well, a tree trimming party hosted by none other than the King of Rock y Roll, of course. Awakening after a three-day bender with a tinsel hangover, El Vez and Los Straitjackets emerged with a vision for a Holiday party that will add a little tequila to your Egg Nog  and swaddle the Baby Jesus in a fashionable Mexican blanket.

Here’s to a surfin’ good Christmas, Tex-Mex-style.
