Can you believe this?

Hootenanny 2003 - with the Stray Cats
Hidden Valley, Irvine, CA
Saturday July 05, 2003 12:00 pm

The only reason I'm telling all of you, is because I already have my tickets. So have at 'em.
The other line-up seems better on the 6th, but the Stray Cats?! You can't miss something like this.

The line-up for that day is:
Cadillac Tramps
The Blasters (so cool!)
John Doe
Original Sinners (w/ Exene from X)
James Intveld (alway so good)
Hot Rod Lincold (Super good, straight ahead rockabilly from San Diego)
Russel Scott (great voice and a regular at the Doll Hut)
Moonlight Creepers
Los Creepers (Hispanic Psychobilly- funny guys)
...and others

The other day has Social Distortion (one of my all-time favorites)
Little Richard (classic)
Deke Dickerson (one of my other all-time favorites)
Jr. Brown (unbelievable guitar/ steel player)
Rocket From the Crypt
Lee Rocker
Dave Vanian and his Phantom Chords
Dave Alvin (so good, from the Blasters)
Nekromantix (spooky psychobilly)
Kingbees (great 80's rockabilly)
Paladins
Jesse Dayton (great guitar picker/ singer from the Road Kings)
THROW RAG (this is a band you have to go see!)
Blazing Haley (from Santa Barbara)
Hellbound Hayride (my personal buddies, that sh#t will make you do some cocaine)
....and others

I guess the Rev isn't playing this year. He's probably had enough of the Hootennany over the years like I thought I had. The heat, the people, the prices. The line-up still seems better on the second day but c'mon, The Stray f'n Cats?!
