A party of psychobilly, rockabilly, punkabilly and any mind-blowing rhythm that ends in Billy, was what was lived in the Alice Forum on June 15, with the visit of the Angelenos of The Rocketz who accompanied by a whole battery of national bands and from more to the north that made everyone dance with their frenzy rhythms.
Dead At MidniteThe night begins with Wicked, project led by Sandra Sanabria who would carry the weight of being the only female exponent on stage, and she received the applause of the audience with her voice and attitude. Then it would be time to listen to Los Pardos who are all consecrated on the scene psychobilly, and they made everyone sing with songs like "The Serial Killer Rock", "Road To Hell" and "Nobody" among others. From Las Vegas it would be time to listen to Dead At Midnite who apologizing for their bad Spanish still joked with the attendees whenever they could while playing their heaviest and raspy rhythms. Finally it was time for the presentation of The Kraneos who from the beginning of his show with "Before The Sunrise" they called people to congregate in front of the stage and unleashed their sound horror punk with great surprises like "Red Moon" (subject that they did not touch more than 10 years ago) and new material such as "The Death of Dr. Acula 2". The Mexicali natives demonstrated why they were one of the most anticipated bands of the night putting together a great atmosphere, and with songs like "Don´t You Dare" They were saying goodbye to make way for the star of tonight.
The moment of ignition psychobilly has arrived and The Rocketz takes off to the rhythm of "Nekro In New Castle" whereupon all congregate to dance and sing. The truth is that although we were few in the forum, those of us who were there could enjoy a great setlist which continued with projectiles like Round She Goes and Dead Shall Dance hooked on "Slow Down ”. What would come next would undoubtedly be one of the best moments of the night, since after being played a new song titled "Not Coming Home", a fan on the track starts asking The Rocketz I touched "I Want U Dead": "We don't have it on the setlist but you are the ones who pay your ticket and have the right to demand that you want to listen" He says Tony Slash into the microphone and plays it. At that moment I decide to try the same luck and I ask "Before The Night" It wasn't planned tonight, either, and I'm also happily pleased: definitely a big gesture from the band.
The double bass of Lalo Soto slows down and becomes the melodious bridge of execution of "I´ll See You Again Someday", but it immediately turns back into a sound box rockabilly when the story of the beautiful girl turned to nothing is narrated in the theme Pretty Fucked Up. It is then that another great moment of the show is lived, since The Rocketz invites a couple of other musicians to perform by casting pigeon the topic "East LA ” where on some occasions Tony Slash The name of this area of California is changed to that of our country, which of course generates applause and sympathy from the people. For the next song the invited musicians now take up the drums and the guitar, and Slash he goes on to perform the double bass, revealing his great musical versatility.
The band returns to adjust to how it was initially, and after a drum solo by PJ Franco and her corpse make-up we are once again moved to move our feet to the danceable rhythm of Killing. The time for the rocket psychobilly land and turn off your engines has arrived, but it does so with a great farewell, putting us to sing every day of the week in a row and in English, to the rhythm of the great "Police In My Back"; subject with which The Rocketz says goodbye at 2 AM. A very good closing for a great party in which yes, maybe people were missing, but there is a lot of good attitude and a desire to listen and play good music.
