Local Band Frenzy

Lately, all of my time has been committed to Albuquerque's finest Local Band, Ballistic Batz!

Becoming closer to the band has given me a light in my life that I needed. But, to be needed has me giddy like a little school girl! I've been busting my ass to make the band's merchandise to raise money so they can record, EXCITING! 

Yesterday, I drove down to El Paso with them, which was very....interesting. Quite a drive, the venue was kinda small, but a little crowd is better than no crowd.

These guys have been so busy putting their heart and soul into their music, it has inspired me.

Here are some photos and video of this past week...I don't document enough!

The T-shirt stencil I made for the cool chicks. Shirts were pink.

HI!!

My wonderful hubby took this of me while I was tracing stencils!

P.S. BALLISTIC BATZ IS WHY I'M ZANEYBAT!! YEAH!!!

Rockabilly/Psychobilly Come Back

 Rockabilly/Psychobilly music has been around for decades. 

A very respectfully disrespectful genre, it defies every rule in music, yet has a tasteful ring that whirls around in your head until you hear it again. Catchy lyrics and upbeat rhythms take us back to a dark innocence. Yes, I am saying Rockabilly/Psychobilly is a beautiful Oxymoron! If only they still made music like this,  we would all be happier, but its actually really hard to find good Rockabilly/Psychobilly bands now a days.

In my last post I mentioned Unlabeled and Underground bands make the best music.

 Well, do you hear Rockabilly on the radio? I don't. Maybe we should consider bringing the fun and funky genre back, maybe it'll teach this new generation a thing or two about real music! 

Ah! Great examples!!
