I was delighted to photograph most of Los Straightjackets last year for the cover of their record "What's So Funny About Peace, Love and... Los Straitjackets" on North Carolina's finest independent record label Yep Roc Records. The marriage between masterful songs written by Nick Lowe and the bands gorgeous handling of instrumental arrangements, Los Straightjackets have expertly crafted an incredible surf rock album that will make you wanna play it over and over again.
Three cheers to Johnny Barlett of California for hooking me up with these masked marauders! We had a whole lot of fun photographing them at the famous PowWow Fun Room in Mar Vista, CA. Eddie Angel, Chris Sprague, Greg Townson and Pete Curry are just the greatest group of guys you would ever want to hang out with!
Los Straightjackets are currently floating on a boat with Big Sandy down The Baja Bop Red Hot Rockin' Cruise to Mexico until the 21st and they recently backed Nick Lowe on The Conan O'Brian Show. I'm so delighted they continue to provide their listening audience with platters of delicious sounds expertly delivered with a fabulous sense of humor.
Via Los Straightjackets!
