The Dorados Rockabilly Trio <\/p><\/div>\n

I knew there had to be a rockabilly scene in Colombia. I just figured it would be in Bogota, not in Medellin where the Paisas (people from Medellin), rock out to the sounds of punk and metal to such legendary bands as I.R.A.<\/strong><\/em><\/a> and Los Suziox<\/a><\/strong> <\/em><\/a> along with other really talented cats like Los Sornos, Industrial punks Nues, the hardcore Fertil Miseria<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, Desadaptadoz<\/strong><\/em><\/a> and newer bands like Lokekeda<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, Alkoholema, Insurgentes, Grito and Nacion Criminal.<\/p>\n

I mean there are so many good, solid punk bands in Medellin I\u2019m discovering them by accident all the time.<\/p>\n

Dolman - Bass & Vocals<\/p><\/div>\n

I guess I should not have been surprised after discovering that yes; there is indeed a rockabilly scene in Medellin! Or should I qualify that as there is a rockabilly band in Medellin that is doing its best to establish a scene. They are the Dorados Rockabilly Trio<\/strong><\/em><\/a>.<\/strong> <\/em><\/p>\n

<\/a>Now I discovered them (or should I say they discovered me) through my good buddies Andres (Los Suziox) and Faber (Medellin Rock Festival) at the Medellin Moto Show<\/strong><\/em><\/a> a few weeks back.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nI immediately hit it off with the guys. Felipe Ossa, the bands singer \/ lead guitar who spends some time with family in New Mexico had just been to the U.S. and witnessed his first Social Distortion<\/strong><\/em><\/a> in concert there so we had a lot to talk about. Felipe looks a little bit like a young, Latin Mike Ness himself (before the jail time) don\u2019t you think?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Carlos - Drums & Vocals<\/p><\/div>\n

At the time, I was headed out of the country to Ecuador to work on my side project \u201cRaw Travel\u201d <\/strong><\/em><\/a> but I promised you that when I returned I\u2019d be featuring some music from these guys.<\/p>\n

Good to his word Felipe stayed in touch with me and I made it out to their rehearsal on Friday night.<\/p>\n

They played a good mix of covers of rock-n-roll classics (Richie Valens, Eddie Cochran, etc.) as well as a few of their originals which I really dug.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Felipe's tricked out guitar <\/p><\/div>\n

We had some studio time left over so we ripped through a version of Cold Feelings (Social Distortion) & Ring of Fire (Johnny Cash\/Social Distortion) with yours truly at the mic before I let the guys finish it out with \u201cDon\u2019t\u2019 Think Twice\u201d (Bob Dylan\/Mike Ness) and \u201cReach for the Sky (Social Distortion).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Rehearsal was a roomfull of Social D. fans <\/p><\/div>\n

Good rockabilly finished off with some punk and punkabilly… Now that my friends is a good couple of hours well spent.<\/p>\n

Well, proving that I ALWAYS tell the truth MOST of the time, here ya go, a video clip of their original song \u201cBettie Page\u201d from their rehearsal session is below.<\/p>\n
