Nick Lowe's Quality Rock and Roll Revue Starring Los Straitjackets
Starting
with 1995's ‘The Impossible Bird’ through to 2011's ‘The Old Magic,’ Nick has
turned out a fantastic string of albums, each recorded with a core of musicians
who possess the same veteran savvy. Lowe brings wit and understated excellence
to every performance, leading Ben Ratliff of the New York Times to describe his
live show as “elegant and nearly devastating.”
His new 4 song EP
“Tokyo Bay” features Los Straitjackets as his backing band Los Straitjackets
are the leading practitioners of the lost art of the guitar instrumental, and
have taken their unique, high energy brand of original rock & roll around
the world. Clad in their trademark Lucha Libre Mexican wrestling masks, the
“Jackets” have delivered their trademark guitar licks to 16 albums, with their
most recent album, “What’s So Funny ‘Bout Peace Love & Los Straitjackets”
consisting of instrumental covers of Nick Lowe Songs
