The Buckshots @ Den Bromfiets 27/05/2007
Alright been a while since i wrote a review it seems. But what a better way to start again then with our favorite old time music band: The Buckshots
I don’t think regular readers of this site need an explanation about what these guys are about. And if you don’t know, well then it’s time for you to read the rest of the site and find out.
Now back to the concert. As usual in Den Bromfiets the mood is always right, tough in the beginning of the gig there weren’t much people around. But by the second set the places was packed again. Hell it was so good that Erwin almost forgot to pass the sombrero round.
The Buckshots as usual played ... continue reading

Phil Spector trial switches to forensics
LOS ANGELES - The Phil Spector murder trial is going "CSI." After five weeks of dramatic personal stories about the music producer and the B-movie actress shot to death in his home, prosecutors are shifting their focus on Tuesday to science and the critical forensic evidence.
There will be discussions of blood spatter, fibers, gunshot residue, DNA and the path a bullet took when it killed actress Lana Clarkson.
A coroner and crime lab technicians are due on the witness stand beginning Tuesday to explain how such evidence can offer insight into what happened at Spector's castle-like mansion on Feb. 3, 2003.

Not Only Can Hungarians Rock, They Can Rockabilly!!
The dance floor is a frenzy of couples hanging on tight in a whirl of swing and jive steps while Szappan slaps his double bass and Cactus, lead singer of The Prison Band, thrusts his hips and seduces the microphone with "Striptease Boogie." In the song's last crescendo of snare and feel-good guitar riffing, "Kid" dips his girl, her plaid, pleated skirt flaring, and kisses her hard on the mouth. He swings her back up and takes her under the arm of his black leather jacket as she smoothes her Betty Page fringe. They clap and catch their breath, and Kid steals another kiss, his high pompadour outlined by the pink rays of a Saturday Budapest sunset.
Cactus ... continue reading

Lubbock scraps Holly name at two sites
LUBBOCK, Texas - Don't plan on strolling down the Buddy Holly Walk of Fame the next time you're in his West Texas birthplace. The City Council has rescinded a 1995 resolution that created the name.

Holly died in 1959. His widow had been seeking a licensing agreement and name usage fees for the two sites.
