A film by Irving Klaw
DVD submitted by FilmFreaks
There is a place in the heart of every man for that one special woman, Bettie Page! Iconic goddess of the fifties pin-up scene and queen of the burlesque this girl is best know for her scantly clad bondage pictures and short films.
As this film is more or less a collection of strip acts and stand Up comedians there is really no plot to explain here other then Bettie Page doing some dance acts. Also featured are other big names like Tempest Storm, Trudy Wayne and Vicky Lynn.

Vegas rocker Freddie Bell dies at 76
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Freddie Bell, a forerunner in the 1950s rock 'n' roll era whose toe-tapping versions of "Giddy Up A Ding Dong" and "Hound Dog" inspired Elvis Presley to cover the songs, has died. He was 76.
Bell died late Sunday in a Las Vegas hospital of complications from cancer, said his publicist Norm Johnson.
Bell was performing at the Sands casino-hotel on the Las Vegas Strip in the mid-1950s when Presley was just an opening act across the street at the New Frontier. Bell's upbeat covers, and perhaps his knee-wiggling dance moves, inspired Presley, Johnson said.
"He loved Freddie's version," Johnson said. "He ... continue reading

Jerry Lee Lewis, John Fogerty help Grammys mark 50 years of music's influence on social change
Jerry Lee Lewis and John Fogerty warmed up for their upcoming collaboration on the Grammy Awards by tearing it up in celebration of music's influence on social change over the last 50 years.
Lewis didn't make it halfway down the red carpet at Wednesday night's "Sounds of Change," this year's Grammy Foundation Music Preservation Project.
"My back's hurting. I'm going to go sit down," the 72-year-old musician said.
But Lewis came back strong.
He sounded energetic enough to make the Wilshire Ebell Theatre audience believe it was 1957 again with a searing rendition of "Great Balls of Fire." He thumped the electric ... continue reading

3 Lost Maniacs @ Ace Cafe, Rumst 10/02/2008
Another Sunday night at the Ace Cafe. This time on stage: 3 Lost Maniacs.
Even tough at the beginning of the evening, well let’s say round 19h30 they’re weren’t a lot of people in the pub, round 20h30 the Ace had it’s usual vibe again, with more and more people dropping in. And to all of that weren’t there, you’re lose, cause this band was one of the best I’ve seen so far. You could really see that these guys, Big Bad Hono on guitar and vocals, Jack Fire on Upright bass, e bass and vocals, Loco on drums and vocals, have been playing together for quite sometime now, with all the energy and just plain old fun dripping of the stage.
The ... continue reading

Radio Modern, Mike Sanchez, Zaal Bart Merksem, 3 Februari 2008
The organization of these events has to be admired, cause when they do something, they do it well.
Rockabilly is very well loved in “de Kempen”, will Antwerp has more of a Jive thing going, Just look at the success of Radio Minerva and The Roma. The afternoon started with a vintage fashion show and there also was a barbershop to style the spitfires. De old cinema complex looked like back in the days, with a wooden dance floor, a balcony ( for all the puppy love thingies). Around 20h00, dance school Apollo swing, showed the audience a few moves, and got the whole hall strolling from left to right. This made a deep impression on me, it’s ... continue reading

The Blue Moon Rockers @ De Tien Deugden Oss ( NL), 12/01/2008
We know a bit late, but there were some problems getting it translated.
For us Oss is one of the farest places we drove to, but nothing is too far to hear R’n’r. For a change I, in contradiction to almost everyone who wears an Elvis t-shirt, decided to wear an Eddie Cochran t-shirt. This man has made a deep impression on me, because of his raw voice and his untimely dead.
In the Netherlands the bands usually play 3 sets, so no harm is done when arriving a bit late. The Blue Moon Rockers are a 5 piece band, who get their inspiration from the 1950’s hit parades. They play songs like: “ Teenager in love” from Dion and The Belmonts, ... continue reading

The Slapbacks @ Den Bromfiets Bonheiden 03/02/2008
Another Sunday afternoon in a quiet little town, but soon the town would be transformed in rockabilly heaven, all to do with the gig of these 3 guys from Austria “The Slapbacks”.
Nothing really has changed since the last time we saw them, still double bass, rhythm and lead guitar and kick drum. But this it what makes it a great band, they got their own sound, it works wonderful. As a result of these guys reputation, den Bromfiets soon was packed. Even our Dutch friends joined the party. Some folks ( including myself) had a bit of a rough night on Saturday, cause the zombie walk could be seen quite a few times.
The band started around ... continue reading
