Three Bad Jacks - (Set time: 10:45 PM)
A little wheeling and dealing at the crossroads, a quick slap to an upright bass and a smokin’ beat. Add to the mix the guitar chops of Elvis Suissa and Three Bad Jacks music comes in to stretch the borders of rock. Three Bad Jacks are the bastard sons of rock and roll greats like Elvis Presley, Joe Strummer, Johnny Cash and Joey Ramone. This full throttle trio fuses the best parts of rock, punk and rockabilly into a unique sound that defies any label or category.
Blazing Haley formed in 1997 is already well on their way to saving rock n’ roll. Notorious for their deluxe live show that includes a skull-headed fur-upholstered stand-up bass, rhinestone studded cowboy hats, crazy stage antics, sweat-drenched greasy do’s, with huge crowd participation.
Los Creepers - (Set time: 9:15 PM)
Los Creepers have made a name for themselves, and gained a reputation over the years as a hard rocking punk rock band from Los Angeles, with a different sound than you're used to hearing. Alex Alvarez (Guitar), Jorge Rosas (Guitar), Herman Ibarra (Drums), and Alfred Montez (Bass) comprised a band named Lester in the early 90s. Add lead singer Orlando Lucky Almader, and you have the current lineup for Los Creepers. When the latest wave of the psychobilly scene in Los Angeles kicked back into high gear, Los Creepers were right there, as a young punk rock/psychobilly troupe that played every weekend, whether it be in an East Los Angeles backyard, or a dive bar in Hollywood, the sound and scene were being taken places nobody had ever been before. With their mix of surf, punk, metal, country, rockabilly, blues, and just about everything loud under the sun, the sound LC developed was just different. Sharing the stage with acts like Rancid, The Cadillac Tramps, Hellbound Hayride, The Adolsescents, The Germs, Demented Are Go,The Meteors And The Stray CAts. A slew of independently released records under their belt, Los Creepers have the experience of a seasoned band, have earned the first call respect of many promoters, artists, and clubs in Southern California. Their latest release City Streets is a collection of true experiences. The songs are stories about close personal friends, personal experience, and growing up in Los Angeles, North of downtown, and East of the Los Angeles River. Its a world rarely explored, and it can be as dangerous, and beautiful as any place on Earth. Los Creepers regard their city with an ultimate respect, and the songs they write are an ode to the life it lives.
