Los Straitjackets always a fun evening
by td80 on 12/13/09Double Door - ChicagoThis was my third time seeing Los Straitjackets, and they never disappoint. The Xmas themed show with El Vez was a fun time from beginning to end. He and the Elvettes were better and funnier than I had expected, and the many costume changes did not take away from the truly great muscianship that is a hallmark of a Los Straitjackets concert. If you don't mind standing shoulder to shoulder for hours the Double Door is an okay venue with very good sound. I knew my wife could not take the close quarters for 3 or 4 hours, so my son and I went and had a great time. I have seen Los Straitjackets feature 3 different vocalists (Kaiser George and Big Sandy the other 2) but the main reason to see them is still their fun fiiled and great sounding guitar sound.
