Just in time for the weekend, here's a groovy video from Los Straitjackets (everybody's favorite wrestling-mask-wearing surf band)! Psycho Beach Party came out in 2000, and the Straitjackets provided some of the music and made an appearance in the film. It's a spoof of 1960's beach movies, with a little B-movie horror thrown in. (You might recognize Lauren Ambrose, who also starred in HBO's Six Feet Under.)
And for those of you who think Nashville only produces country music, I can proudly say that Los Straitjackets got their start here! If any of you SF OSers like what you see, they'll be playing at Slim's on September 12th with Southern Culture on the Skids. I know, it's a long time off, but you'll need to prepare yourselves.

Rated for a Friday guffaw.
Sometimes, I think they're too campy for their own good, though. Because they really are great musicians.

Where do you surf in Nashville? ha ha
Ron, I think there's one of those wave pools around here somewhere. Perhaps I could try my luck there.
RetroDaddy, I haven't actually seen this film, so I didn't know that Amy Adams was in it. I had read that it was based on an off-Broadway, but I didn't know about the possible "Trouble With Angels" connection (I'm remembering your blog on nun movies!).
