RockabillyView. – Block Party June 8

By Chris MurphySince 1938, Rockabilly has put the rock in rock n roll. KTRB broadcasted the Maddox Brothers and Rose to an excited world, that included the ears of a young Bill Black, the bassist for Elvis Presley’s Blue Moon Boys. They recorded That’s Alright Mama, and Bill Haley & the Comets released Rock Around the Clock in 1954 to an unsuspecting world, and the rest is history,

Tony T and the Pendletons & Wild Records are keeping Rockabilly alive here in Modesto and are bringing you a rockin’ ruckus of a show to the Goat Bar on June 8 at 7 p.m. This show features the Reckless Ones, Los Pistoleros, The Surf Creeps, and, of course, the Pendletons. This will be a Rockabilly Block Party, so bring your dancing shoes, get dressed up, and head to the Goat Bar.

There will be food, vendors, and drinks at our local downtown restaurants, as well as music that will keep you dancing all night long. Stop by and get a sweet haircut at Trevino’s Barber Shop so you look as good as the music sounds. Be there or be square.
