Dressed in leather, brandishing heavy guitars, and an unabashed fetish for British Invasion pop, the Smithereens were an anomaly in the American college rock scene of the late '80s. They came onto the national radar in 1988, and the first single, "Only a Memory," not only became a college and modern rock hit, but it crossed over to album-rock stations as well. The Smithereens made their attempt at big-time album-rock success with their third album, "11". Hiring producer Ed Stasium brought a heavier guitar sound, which made "A Girl Like You" a Top 40 hit, sending "11" to gold status, and solidifying their spot in our memories

Hailing from New Orleans, the Iguanas reflect the diversity of musical styles found in their home state by fusing blues, classic R&B, zydeco, cajun, Tex-Mex and roots rock & roll.
Mixing the familiar sounds of Dick Dale, Duane Eddy and the Ventures, Los Straitjackets create their own version of energetic surf guitar twang complete with Mexican wrestling masks. Performing with the Straitjackets this time around is American roots music and rockabilly king-pin Big Sandy.

Taking their cues from the country-blues sounds of Mississippi Fred McDowell and R.L. Burnside, the Allstars mix a rock edge, an alternative aesthetic (comparable to outfits like the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion or G. Love and Special Sauce), and a trad-rock jam-band sensibility (think Phish, Widespread Panic, or even Medeski, Martin & Wood).
