|  Rebel Beat: The Story of L.A. Rockabilly - DVD Author/Artist : Betty ISBN : B000LV64OY : "Rebel Beat" is the first documentary to capture LA's oldest underground music scene: LA Rockabilly. LA Rockabilly is more than just a music scene. Today it's part of the growing "low brow kustom culture" movement that includes hot rod and custom car clubs, tattoo art, pinup modeling, burlesque, comic book and illustrated art and retro fashion. Where the "swing" fad of the 90s embraced a "yuppie" version of American retro, rockabilly tells a working class story. This documentary uses the 50-year story of LA rockabilly to showcase an unlikely cast of rebel cohorts who intersects in a parallel universe LA flung far from the Sunset Strip.
The laid back cousin of the more commercial psychobilly, LA Rockabilly remains a low brow, low-fi, sexy culture with a passion for its retro roots. "Rebel Beat" captures LA Rockabilly's small town soul at car shows, swap meets, barbecues, barrio cafes and hidden juke joints - far from the Strip - before pulling up to the West Coast's biggest rockabilly party of the year, Viva Las Vegas, to meet an o­nly-in-LA mix of ex-punks, ex-pats, cowgirls, record collectors, pinup models, musicians, artists, hot rodders, DJs, record producers, promoters, swing dancers and kids from LA's Latino barrios with a taste in musical that spans from 40s western swing to 60s Mexican strolls.
"Rebel Beat" interviews over 30 promoters (including legendary Rockin' Ronny Weiser of Rollin' Rock Records), musicians (including Glen Glenn, Ray Campi, Big Sandy, Dave Gonzales and Janis Martin), car customizers, DJs and dancers, plus features rare archival photos, vintage TV clips and music montages that highlight the fashion, cars, pomps, ink and dance moves of the pussycats and hound dogs of LA Rockabilly, a strange family who share the distinctly American bent to define reality o­n their own terms and an LA creativity for casting the past with the hand-picked heroes, making for o­ne hell of a party.www.rebelbeat.com | |
