MEDELLIN, COLOMBIA:
I finally made it to my “2nd home” of Medellin, Colombia and despite the big “Feria de los Flores” (Festival of Flowers) festivities going on all week, I immediately got to work.
First stop was lunch with my amigo and Dorados Rockabilly Trio founder and lead singer Felipe Ossa.
Felipe and I discussed the recent lineup changes, (San the new bass guitarist has joined Felipe on guitar & vocals and Camilo on drums to round out the trio), the surprising success of their first music video “Bettie Page… Donde Estas?” (missed it? See below!) and their future plans (could 2013 could see a U.S. Dorados tour?).
We decided that we should follow up the smashing success of Bettie Page with another music video and we selected the infectious “Diamond Girl” from their release “Conflicto de Espacio Blanco” (White Space Conflict) as a good follow up.
Felipe secured a local Harley Motorcycle paint and repair shop in the neighborhood of Estadio, just past the casinos and gaming halls of downtown Medellin.
The location was perfect and Felipe’s brother Pablo really saved the day, helping me out with a 2nd camera for the shoot. I’m really happy with the footage and can’t wait to get back to the U.S. to see what the Russians and I can do with it.
We were able to fire off a few low quality stills of the evening for your viewing pleasure. Note the sick Dorados Rockabilly Trio T shirt I’m sporting! Never fear that shirt design should be coming soon to a Punk Outlaw Store near you real soon.
In the meantime, we are in search of a rockabilly video vixen for the Diamond Girl lead role, preferably in the Los Angeles or New York City area, but all should feel free to apply. If interested, just shoot us an email to info@punkoutlawrecords.com and we’ll be back in touch as soon as we can.
How f**king immoral? How do you define a predator & con artist? What kind of exploitative low-life puts a link to an online poker gambling site on a web site targeted at hispanic teens and young adults? You show yourself to be a very deviant, greedy, contemptous person.
Your comment reminds me of the NOFX song “Separate the Church and Skate”… look up the lyrics.
Hey Mike (or is it Marge?) what naive, dumb ass would ever think this is a PUNK FUCKING MUSIC blog targeted to “young, impressionable” Hispanic teens? What if thy were black? Would that make it better or worse? Or Asian or white? Have you ever spoken to an Hispanic “Teen” in your life? You think they are just a bunch of dumb asses who can’t think for themselves and you gotta tell them what’s right or wrong?
It bears repeating.. THIS IS A FUCKING PUNK MUSIC SITE.. you might notice by the constant references to punk music. Now, if you do your research, you might also notice that punk music is sort of dangerous and sometimes very, very ugly. So there might be some references to not only gambling, but alcohol, drugs, sex, and shield your ears, there may be some profanity on this site, like this one “Fuck you…It’s life. GG Allin used to shit on the stage and then throw feces at his audience… Iggy Pop cut himself. What the fuck do you think this is, Sesame Street?
ALL THAT SAID, the main point is – I write this blog, I produce this blog, I PAY for this blog and this being a free country I’ll say what the fuck I want.
Geez, how naive can you be you fucking douche clown. Go listen to some Lady Fucking Gaga and call that punk music you dumb fuck. “Ignorance… more dangerous than a gun in the hand” SOCIAL DISTORTION
Now get the fuck out of here and don’t come back until you’ve grown a some pubic hair.
Michael … Move away from the keyboard! That’s it … nice and slow… It’s time to go outside little man.
