Hootenanny tix on sale Friday
Tuesday, Mar. 10 2009 @ 11:02AM
Get your pompadours, rolled jeans, Pabst Blue Ribbons and Converse ready because the Hootenanny is right around the corner.
This year's lineup includes the Reverend Horton Heat, Los Lobos, Horrorpops, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, the Supersuckers, Lee Rocker, the Blasters, 3 Bad Jacks, Roger Alen Wade, Dusty Rhodes and I'm guessing a whole bunch more.
I went to the Hootenanny once and I'm on the fence about how it went. For starters, I despise all-day festivals. The sun is not my friend, I don't like lines, expensive beer makes me angry and the sound always sucks. On the flipside, if you're into rockabilly and all its "'billy" cousins, the Hootenanny's lineup always has something cool. Plus, there are classic cars galore and more ridiculously gorgeous pin-up girls in one place than anywhere on the planet. For that last reason, I'm going to have to say I had a good time.
The show is July 4th at Oak Canyon Ranch (which has to be one of the best locations for an outdoor concert EVER), but you can score a ticket as early as Friday.

this event has gone downhill. it sucks! when i go to a rockabilly show i expect what i paid for, rockabilly! not bands that sound like punk or some other noise that is not rockabilly.
as for the cars it's the same old crappy cars everyone has seen. and now these poor suckers have to pay to exhibit their car. i remember when you got in free if you took your car. now most of those cars are all show no go that barely made it there.
too bad it's mostly the younger kids that look forward to this crappy show. then they think that those bands are rockabilly and grow up with the wrong idea and distorting the culture. Vegas rockabilly weekender is way better.
