Los Straitjackets is an American instrumental rock band that formed in Nashville, Tennessee in 1988. Originally comprising guitarists Danny Amis (formerly of Raybeats), "Guitar-slinger" Eddie Angel and drummer L. J. "Jimmy" Lester under the name The Straitjackets, the band split up soon after forming and reunited as Los Straitjackets in 1994 with the addition of bassist E. Scott Esbeck. Esbeck left the band in 1998 and was replaced by Pete Curry. The current lineup also features Greg Townson on guitar and Chris Sprague on drums. [wiki]
Re-post of an ''early'' Surfadelic Collection, tribute to one of the BEST instro Surf-Rock groups of "modern times", masked maniacs, one and only Los Straitjackets. This compilation covers their first three classic slabs of instro hoot, The Utterly Fantastic... [1995], Viva! [1996] and The Velvet Touch Of... [1999]. Perfect stuff for crazy masked parties. I know you know, but then again... you better DIG!!!
