"Early Beatles Without The Vocals"


 

While scrolling through Instagram, I saw someone comment, "Los Straitjackets had been completely off my radar until a friend suggested I should check them out because they sound like early Beatles without the vocals."

I have been listening to and loving Los Straitjackets for years and it never once occured to me that they sounded like the early Beatles without the vocals...until I read that comment. Now, that's all I hear.

Here are three from their new album "Somos Los Straitjackets."

Only fair that, if the Beatles cried for a Shadow (as in Hank Marvin and The), that Los Straitjackets should cry for a Beatle.

Nick Lowe’s ‘Lay it on me baby’ is the most Beatlish song since A Hard Day’s Night

Tremendous band.

West coast scenester Art Fein recently passed away and his old "Poker Party" teevee show episodes have been getting posted at a fast rate. Here's an entire show with Los Straitjackets when they were just starting out.
