Los Campiones del Justicio by the Ghastly Ones
The Ghastly Ones are a surf/garage rock band from Van Nuys, California with a late night monster movie theme.
They infused their love of Halloween records, late night monster movies and Screaming Lord Sutch with inspiration from early sixites surf and hotrod acts like The Lively Ones, Avengers VI, and The Del-Aires to create the first 'spooky surf' band.
The band's first show was at Al's Bar on Halloween 1996, infamous in the punk world for several rowdy Misfits shows. During their early shows, the stage was often decorated with tombstones and cobwebs to give their performances the proper atmosphere.
Their unique sound and look caught the attention of Rob Zombie who helped get their first album released on his label Zombie-A-Go-Go Records. Subsequent albums have been released on their independent label Ghastly Plastics Corp.
The band is still active and touring and in 2007 performed for the first time on the East Coast. The Ghastly Ones are a surf/garage rock band from Van Nuys, California with a late night monster movie theme. ... more -

The Tell-Tale Hearts - 60s garage rock revival revival
Yes, I meant to write revival twice. That's because the Tell-Tale Hearts were a 60s garage rock revival band from San Diego back in the 80s. I had the opportunity to see them in the mid-90s in a "reunion show." Totally blew my mind. Amazing musicianship, awesome sound, tortured soul lyrics. What more do you want?

Trash Rockets
The Trash Rockets are a fun 4-piece I discovered while at SXSW this year. They've got an amazing drummer who's about 50 and is the dad of the guitar and bass players. The three of them are amazing musicians in the same vein as the Reverend Horton Heat. Then there's this funny guy up front. He sings, dances and sometimes plays the jug.
