IT'S TIME TO GET THE RIOT ON! WORDS:

T

he Great American Rockabilly Riot first began as a birthday celebration that Jake Baca (one of the founders) was throwing for himself, but has now turned into a huge two-day festival that includes car shows, a pin-up girl contest, music, live tattooing and this year’s new attraction the skate demos, plus much more.

“We laid out the foundation and over the years it just grew out of control, and outgrew the [Great American] steakhouse,” said one of the event’s organizers Andre Camacho, aka Butch. “About a few years ago, we moved it to Ascarate Lake, and after that we moved it to the Coliseum. This will be the second time we will be holding it there.”

The event is the ideal place to head to for everyone, especially for families who need a fun, less expensive place to go to with their kids. The festival offers plenty of things to do for children: the kiddie play area, booths for kids and children 12 and under will be free of charge. Dave and Buster’s Sports Bar will also be returning to the event and will have an entertaining setup inside and outside the Coliseum.

“Dave and Buster’s will be coming out again. Last year, they had about $5000 worth of prizes, so everybody who plays will have lots of chances to be walking

away with something. It definitely beats a carnival where you have to pay to get in, and pay to do this and pay to do that. Most everyone wins when they walk up to Dave and Buster’s,” said Baca.

It will be held on September 1st and 2nd and tickets will cost $15 each; two-day passes will be $25 and can be purchased on ticketmaster.com, at any of the locations and by phone.

It will start at 11am and end at 10pm with special events held throughout the day (the pin-up contest that starts at 6pm on Saturday). On both days, there will be local and out-of-town bands and artists playing from 1pm until 8pm and a skate ramp (made by Charlie Mendoza who also provided a ramp for Neon Desert) will be open to all skaters.

“It’s definitely something unique.

The music is not like anything else. We have bands coming in from California, Las Vegas and different areas from across the country. It’s a whole family event held on Labor Day weekend. It’s really cheap and it’s worth it. You get a lot of bang for your buck,” said Butch.

An after party will be held at the Hilton where long-time local skapunks Fixed Idea will be playing later Saturday evening, for those who want to continue having fun. 

magine being in the crowd and waiting anxiously for the band to start, fully aware that when the band hit the stage everyone is gonna rush to the front to get closer to the energy that the music will bring. That is exactly what it feels like to wait for a Voodoo Glows Skulls, they bring the intensity of their ska-core style to every performance. The band has been around since the late 80s and has become a staple in the ska-core culture and its ever growing popularity. The band will be performing at this years Great American Rockabily Riot, on Labor Day weekend. Guitarist Eddie Casillas shared a few words with us.

The band formed in 1988, can you tell us why you started the band in the first place, and how influential were your parents in that process?

We formed in ‘88 as a 3 piece band in my bedroom. We were just super into music, mostly heavy metal and some 2tone ska and new-wave, or whatever. We were also very much into oldies early on as well. We started off with a bass guitar that our older brother abandoned and a guitar my parents had bought me.

Most of the band is from So-Cal, how has the scene change over the years? How has Voodoo Glow Skulls managed to remain such a strong influence?

The scene has changed quite a bit. First of all, back then no one was really doing the faster, heavier punk or metal mixed with ska, or that family of rhythmic music.

There were definitely crossover bands like Fishbone, Chili Peppers and Jane’s Addiction but no one was playing that fast or heavy really. It was either the few true ska bands leftover from the 2tone era or punk/ funk type bands. The Bosstones were sorta heavier but never really sounded hardcore and never seemed to play that fast, Bad Religion/NOFX “steak cutter” punk beat.

After hearing bands like Fishbone and Operation Ivy, we gradually started playing fast, manic ska-punk with heavier and faster parts. We wanted to take it further than those bands. Now, there is a whole underground ska punk, ska-core scene in Los Angeles and most major cities. I’m sure we influenced a few by just being around and continuing to tour and put out records.

The band tours a lot, and all over the world, how has the world received Voodoo Glow Skulls throughout the years?

The band has been received pretty well where we’ve gone, and we’ve been fortunate enough to return several times to most places. Life on the road can be amazing at

times and trying and exhausting as well. Traveling with a group of people and living in close quarters together, you get to learn a lot about each other fast. We’ve had amazing experiences from playing under the Brooklyn bridge and circling the statue of liberty on a boat while playing a show, to touring places like Japan, Australia and South America.

In a article with OC weekly, its says that you guys are huge supporter of the local latino ska-core bands and often headline SkaWars in LA, but you like to shine a light to up and coming artist. Why is that important to you?

We try and play with and support as many young, upcoming bands as possible. The scenes in LA and Orange County alone have so many bands. Some are starting to branch out and tour. It’s important to keep music and styles alive in general. Music is what saves the day in many instances and keeps people happy.

Like with any band there has been shifting with band members and record labels, haw has that helped you all grow, and what advice would you give other bands that go through similar circumstances?

You have to really love doing what you do to survive band member changes and being on record labels, or not being on labels and struggling. You have to have people involved that want to be there and act professional to start. Curbing people with any substance abuse problems or any drama or baggage also helps. You have to have a healthy band of body and mind as much as possible. That definitely makes life easier. Labels are kind of dead and so is the underground music biz. You’re better off releasing music online, pressing your own vinyl or CDs and growing a following with a good live show.

Your shows are always so energetic and full of life, what do you want a newcomer to the Voodoo Glow Skulls to feel when they attend one of your shows for the first time?

We want the audience to come out of the show with a sense of releasing demons and stress from every day life. This band started off as a backyard party band, so we have that in us still. It’s fun to sweat it out on a dance floor and let the problems of the day be forgotten for at least that moment.  voodooglowskulls.bigcartel.com

ether you’re getting a tattoo, checking out the hot rides or the lovely pin-up girls, the soundtrack to this year’s Great American Rockabilly Riot (Saturday September 1st and Sunday the 2nd) is the perfect backdrop to the good times. With previous killer headliners such as Tiger Army and Reverend Horton Heat, this year’s Riot will group the best local rockabilly bands together in one place, and close out each night with a bang.

Legendary So-Cal ska punks Voodoo Glow Skulls close out the first night and will have the crowd skanking, pogoing and maybe there will be a mosh pit? Do they still call it that? Anything can happen. The band has been together since 1988 and has visited the a Sun City since the 90s. Expect a non stop high energy show. Make sure to wear a good pair of shoes if you plan to be anywhere near the stage; you can lose your sandals and not even know it.

El Paso 60s soul legends Bobby Rosales and the Premiers will be part of the festivities on Sunday. If you’re one of those El Paso record hounds, you’ll know that Rosales and crew have 2 of the rarest and most sought

Sunday night closes out with a true Texas legend. Dale Watson has consistently been putting out records since the 90s honoring the traditional sounds of country, rockabilly, outlaw and western swing—a sound that he coined “Ameripolitan.” Based out of Austin,TX, Watson’s sound mirrors the true nature of the event; keeping tradition alive and connecting the past and the present by admiring and experiencing the looks and sounds of the past. Watson’s cookin’ sounds will fire up the fest into an all out wild weekend.

Both days will have music throughout including local bands such as El Paso favorites Radio La Chusma, Los Chucanos and Sorry About Your Sister, as well as out of town talent: Pope Paul & the Illegals (Santa Ana, CA), Sandbox Bullies (Riverside, CA), Reno Divorce (Denver, CO) and Kitty Rose and the Rattlers (Atlanta, GA). Don’t miss out. 

KUSTOM KULTURE IN THE BORDERLAND WORDS:

DENISE NELSON

mp up your cool quotient September 1-2 at the 7th Annual Rockabilly Riot. The sea of classic cars, Suavecito Pomade, tattoos and twang-tinged music is evidence the Sun City’s Kustom Kulture scene is in full swing.

The event is billed as one of the largest car shows in the area. That, along with multiple areas to satisfy any interest and, proclivity and taste, provide non-stop entertainment and action for even the most discriminating Kustom Kulture lifestylers.

A huge portion of the Riot centers on the car show. Butch Coronado is vice prident of the Hard Knocks car club and one of the key players in the inception of the Riot. The formation of Hard Knocks was one of the factors in the creation of the event. The other was a birthday celebration for Baca; he helped organize the event for several years running, but has since handed over the reins.

“Although I was an integral part of helping to create the foundation for the car club and the event, I have stepped away from the day to day operations over the last 2 years,” Coronado said. “All of the credit goes to Jake Baca [founder of the Riot], Michael John and Leo Martinez for their dedication and hard work. Those guys deserve all the credit, 100 percent.”

The car show portion of the Riot has since mushroomed into one of the area’s largest displays of vehicles from around the country and even around the world—rat rods, hot rods, bikes, lowriders and trucks will be on display both days. Coronado said the show consists of any kind of vehicle that dates from pre-1970, and they “don’t do

anything late model or foreign.”

“We have hundreds of cars at the event; an average of 300, at least,” Coronado said. “Our base is worldwide and we have followers who come from coast to coast and even some who visit us from [other countries]—Mexico, Germany and Japan.”

Cars are an integral aspect of Kustom Kulture, and reflect the love and dedication of the people who work on them.

Mass-produced, average looking vehicles are masterfully transformed into drivable works of art. Hot rods and other custom rides also occupy a unique niche in our history.

Kustom Kulture has its roots in the 1950s, and was branded as a “low brow” art form. The era’s teen and young adult population gravitated to what was thought of as that most evil of music genres—rock & roll. Along with that, there was a backlash by these kids against the rule-heavy era, and new forms of dress, hair styles and attitudes emerged.

However, for Coronado, the 50s are not the only decade that made its mark on Kustom Kulture. Instead, the lifestyle is a confluence of generations, influences, cultures and styles that includes iconic characteristics from preceding eras. Greasers, skateboarders, grandparents blasting cheritas, cruising down Alameda, barbecues at Ascarate Lake and other scenarios emblematic of growing up in El Paso provide the framework for today’s Kustom Kultureites on the border.

“We’re very diverse when it comes to things like that— the times we grew up in, the music, influences, cultures, listening to oldies, ska, the Beastie Boys, Ranchera,” he said.

“It’s all a mix of who we are.” 

rom the very beginning of their existence, pin-up girls have charmed their way into the minds of the world. Their history can be traced back to WWI when women were used as visual stimulus to persuade men to join the war. As a result, the soldiers would pin the photos of these rosy-cheeked women up on a wall as a reminder of what they were fighting for. They became a source of encouragement for these men and, a symbol of strength for women.

anymore, they continue to gain popularity among both men and women, especially in events like the 7th annual Great American Rockabilly Riot run by last year’s winner Millie Rose Mitchell and 2016’s winner Cherri Kola.

As the event approaches, it brings a new mass of pinup girls awaiting their debut into the rockabilly world, along with the returning pin-up girls. Despite it being a competition where the contestants are competing to be crowned “Ms. Great American Rockabilly Riot Pin-Up

Queen,” the women are brought together in a friendly environment where the community supports one another’s uniqueness.

“Pin-ups help bring people together by promoting body positivity and inclusiveness. It doesn’t matter if you’re a size 2 or a 32. You can be beautiful no matter what and when you love something, you want to share it,” Mitchell said.

Mitchell was a newcomer to pin-up contests, but has been an avid pin-up fashionista for 31 years. After being stationed in Ft. Bliss last year, Mitchell (who is being promoted to an E8 Master Sergeant in September) stumbled upon a pin-up contest during her search for the Sun City’s rockabilly community to make some friends with shared interests. She decided to sign up and ended

up winning last year’s title, plus more competitions and agreed to run this year’s contest.

“You meet lots of people and it’s just a great environment.

You’re there with friends, by the time you get to the stage and it’s actually about doing something unique and fun, and you make friends who love dressing up while having a good time with a cocktail,” said Mitchell.

The competition will be held on Saturday September 1st at 6pm. The event welcomes all women ages 21 and up who identify as female to join the contest. The contestants must be fully clothed and cannot be wearing lingerie.

Pre-registration will be held on Facebook. Registration is currently open to the public but will end with 12 finalists.

GARR weekend pass is required for all chosen contestants. 

VINTAGE BARBERING WORDS:

DENISE NELSON

T

he 7th Annual Rockabilly Riot captures all aspects of Kustom Kulture, including hot chicks, cool cars and cool haircuts. For the last several years professional barbers from across the city have been pompadouring, slicking and shaving male festival-goers. The event highlights the revival of old-school, vintage barbering techniques, which some barbers have taken to artisanal levels.

“We’re going to have barbers from across town,” said the Riot’s barber curator, Arturo Romero. “We’ll be out there displaying our diverse talents.”

Romero, a professional barber who currently offers his services at MD Barber Company, explained the barbering done at the riot is vintage style, which employs techniques that have been passed down from generation to generation.

Baca, owner of Vintage Barber Shop, will have some of his guys out there.

Romero will lend his talents as well.

If images of mile-high greaser pompadours and psychobilly hairdos are conjured when you think of vintage barbering, you’re on the right track. However, that’s only part of the magic. Romero said professionals can pull off any style, a bonus for guys who are seeking so-called modern styles while enjoying superior craftsmanship.

“If you look at kids’ cuts now, it’s pretty much what barbers have been doing for years” he revealed. “It’s like the same style but on steroids,” Romero said.

“I can remember going to the shops in Juárez with my dad, and seeing the way the barbers would treat their customers,” he said. “You’d meet important people there; cops rubbing shoulders with drug dealers.

To me a barber shop is a place for the community to come together.”

The art of vintage barbering involves much more than cutting hair. In its truest form, it encompasses different aspects, not the least of which is customer service and rapport-building. At these last hold outs of “men only” sacred spaces, you’ll likely hear conversations about women, sports and cars, all pertinent ingredients to many men’s daily lives and a throwback to 1900s era establishments. Romero added beyond that the shop is a place for some important life lessons.

He said Riot attendees can expect that same community feel and special treatment that they would get at the shop. Barbers will offer all services, except for shampooing. A hot towel and razor shave, Oster shoulder massage, haircuts and styling are on the menu. Festival founder Jake

“Our shop has an old school feel,” he said. “The way we interact with our customers and their kids . . .it’s where a man brings his son to teach him how to be a man in front of other men.”

Stop by the barbering station at this year’s Riot to get a rockin’ cut and to shoot the shit. Stay greasy El Paso! 

BO HUFF

A DOCUMENTARY OF HIS LIFE WORDS:

T

he documentary of rockabilly’s favorite car legend, Bo Huff, has been in the works for the past 5 years as the documentary’s director, producer and one-woman crew, Monique Wood, continues to make it happen in his honor.

“It was fun making a film about him and even the content I have is amazing, he was really great on camera,” said Wood.

The documentary follows the life of Huff (Gerald Douglas Huff) who was notorious for his custom cars, hot rods and his love of rockabilly. He began his love affair with cars at a young age in the 1950s and continued his passion until the day he died at the age of 72 in his hometown in Dragerton, UT from cancer on August 4, 2015.

“He chopped 3 Mercuries [cars] when he came out of the stem cell transplant and he’s sitting there with no hair, no beard cause he lost it all in chemo and he’s telling them how to chop 3 Mercuries on the phone saying you do that, you’re doing this, I want you to

do that. He was still building until the day he died,” Wood said. They travelled all over for his shows and no matter where they went he would have people recognize him, and he would give them his full attention. Wood was fortunate enough to capture all his adventures and even took part in some, like when he was selected as Grand Marshall for Community Daze, and they rode in the Grand Marshall car throwing candies to the crowd. She even had the opportunity to check out his museum where he stored his cars and kept all the memorabilia that he either collected, bought or was given.

“I self-produced everything, I shot it all, I paid for all of the production. I kind of invested in myself and went for it. It’s going to cost me some money and I’m not working right now because of my neck injury so a bunch of his friends stepped up and donated their art work to fundraise,” said Wood. “Even Jake Baca from the Hard Knocks Car Club asked about the film and offered to auction off some stuff and show the film at the Rockabilly Riot to help raise money. I’m hoping I can release it by

the end of the year or I’d like to get it out by January.” The 2 grew close during the filming of the documentary and when Huff became ill, Wood stayed by his side helping him through his rough time. It was something he told her he appreciated and when he passed, he even left his 50’ Chevy convertible for her in his will. But the most important things he gave her was an extended family and so many fond memories with him—like the time she helped break him out of the hospital to buy a pair of boots.

“He asked the cashier for a pen to write his name in his boots and she refused to give him a pen. She told him he couldn’t do that, and he goes, ‘I just bought them,’ and she goes, ‘Yeah but you can’t write your name in them because if you want to return them, we aren’t going to accept them. He goes, ‘They’re my boots, I just paid you for them.’ He probably got mad because she wouldn’t give him the pen, but then he got the pen and then he wrote his name in it right in front of her, and then he put them on and we walked out of there. He was a hoot,” Wood said.  THEFUSIONMAG.COM
