Saw these guys almost 30 years ago at a club in Houston. They were a blast.

Mashing this up with "Wipeout" is just perfect!

[TheLadsBandLive]

I love this song but I can never remember the words.

Saw these guys here in Denver in the mid-90's at the LoDo Music Festival. The next day I went and picked up two of their CD's. They are fucking great!

Holy Masked Men, Batman! Los Straitjackets are rocking out!

I loved this show. Cesar Romero: all-time greatest Joker!!!

Just saw these cool dudes at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco on 12/13/22. First time hearing them. What a great performance.

Thanks, Algorithm. This a thing that I didn't know I wanted.

[MLFranklin]

Awesome combination. I've always loved the guitar feel of both songs.

I was about 5 years old when Batman came to TV so this is one of the first songs I learned to hum along to especially at school. Ceasar Romero was the original Joker, Jack Palance as the Riddler while Adam West and Burt Ward were terrific as Batman and Robin. They had 2 or 3 different actresses play Catwomen - Eartha Kitt and Julie Newmar who now look so hot in those one-piece outfits but as a little boy I couldn't fully appreciate that! Oh, can't forget Burgess Merideth as the Penguin!

I like the way you transition to the Ventures and back. 60's music was a lot of fun.

Batman theme into Wipe Out 12 bar blues/rock is awesome.

[Pikeswrath]

Wow. This is unexpected. I love Los Straightjackets... and Nick Lowe!! Never would have imagined them as a double-bill in my wildest dreams. Too far out! 🤯

[martinavila]

Just got to say, after hearing these playing, Batman and I g o way back 🔙

[jasnutub]

Santos enmascarados Batman!! Qué bien tocan!

[rodrigomorales]

Exitazo de toda la . . . Desde mi niñez facina

[guymangotree]

Surf Music is so damn Swingin' kOoL_
these guys have a CD called 'Twist Party', and I bought it just because it was so funny looking and novel to me, but the songs were all really good and it came with a DVD of some fairly good looking girls doing a bunch of stretches and twist dancing LoL

The mask are part of their show. We had a surf band about 15 years ago. Played everything but maybe 2 songs from the Straight Jackets.
They have several Albums.
We started out with Kawanga.
Did Johnnys nose ride. County fair. I forget. But about 40 of their songs.
It was a blast.
Played out 3 times I think.
Anyway they are great!!!
