Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

Go Crazy

Take a pinch of ramblin’ rockabilly twang, a peck of garage snarl, drench it in some Dick Dale surf bravado and then slap a Mexican wrestling mask on it and you’ve pretty much got Los Straitjackets. Over two decades and more than a dozen records, the Nashville-based quartet have become cult heroes, both for their wily instrumental charms and, presumably, an affinity for lucha libre and bad Spanish accents. This Sunday, June 3, Los Straitjackets go loco at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge. Eilen Jewell opens.
