The No Longer Teen Teenage Bottlerocket
I don’t want to get hung up on age, but with a band named Teenage Bottlerocket no longer clearly teenagers, it was bound to come up, was it not?

When I first heard DakhaBrakha from Ukraine, I was in Los Angeles, driving in my car and listening to NPR (National Public Radio). I was mesmerized by the ethereal, folkloric, timeless sound of their music, even more so because I had visited Ukraine in 2012. Later, in 2019, I’d revisit Ukraine to film. I’d meet and film […]
My talented pal Laura Rebel Angel (the hardest working lady in rockabilly AND psychoabilly) and her band the Screamin’ Rebel Angels are back with a brand new music video “Oh! My Soul” that she directed herself. Love this song and this video and I think you will too. Check it and give Laura & team a […]
Been out of the game for a while, so I called my pal Andres, from the Colombian punk band, Los Suziox, who’s been visiting NYC for a ew months.. to see if any good shows were popping in the area. f It was my lucky day and after trekking out to Bushwick I met up with […]
Ever wanted to swallow a sword? Drive a nail up your nose or eat fire? Well now you can!
What is it about the U.S. that sometimes brings out the worst in people. There is such a violent culture and mental health crisis in our country that news like this barely made the front page of the newspapers in NYC (one of the safest big cities in the U.S.) as there was another more […]
Psychobilly promoter and all around cool cat (kitten?) Laura Rebel Angel has gone from promoting the best psychobilly/rockabilly events in NYC to fronting her own band, the “Screamin’ Rebel Angels” to which I ask “What took you so long?”. As per the norm with Laura, it’s 1st class all the way. The lady can […]
Labretta Suede & the Motel 6… ? Now how the hell does a band from New Zealand nail that Southern 1960-70s Cramps-esque psycho-rockabilly style? Not sure but they do. I recognize a few NYC institutions in this video I think, including “Pimps & Pinups” which is where I loyally once got my hair cut before […]
Here is some info the NYC Tourist Bureau probably doesn’t bother with. A tour of NYC’s punk past and present. Lately, there have been several readers from all over who’ve written because they were planning to visit New York City and they wanted information on the punk scene. I no longer live in the Big […]
PUNK ROPE Give a punk enough rope and.. they just might jump it?! One of the many stereotypes of punks is that they are a physical mess, choosing partying over just about any other activity, much less working out. While many punks certainly know how to party there are many examples of punks who break […]

Well, taking a break from talking about Cuba (more to come, I promise, including video), went to see The Queers last night with my friend Roman and Jorge who is in town from ColombianPunk.com. We got their early to check out a great alternative band Hollis which really, really rocked. The vocalist is amazing and […]
