Call 265-4842. But for now, here's Marco: Screed: How'd you get the band name? Marco: Okay. The first time I came to America, I bought a Cadillac hearse, 59. And I painted it fluorescent pink, and I said, "Okay, I'm going to call the band Curse of the Pink Hearse." The curse was, I got it, then it got repossessed, then I got it back again. Screed: What makes your version of rockabilly different? Marco: I know everybody does rockabilly with country-style music in it, but what I want to do is try to mix it with Spanish Gypsy guitars and African rhythms, jungle rhythms and mambo, cha-cha-cha. A lot of people aren't ready for it yet, they're used to the more country rockabilly, so it's gonna take a while. . . . When I started, a lot of musicians were like, "Oh, man, I don't know about this, I like country," but now I found musicians, and we really connect. For five years, I've been developing a plan for this kind of music, and it's finally coming out. Screed: Is there much of a rockabilly scene in Mexico City? Marco: Oh, man, if I start a list, I won't even
finish. They have a day--like Luther King day--they have a day for rockabilly. It starts in the morning and it lasts, like, three days. Pompadours, leather jackets, greasers, motorcycles, girls with pink dresses, pompadours everywhere, everywhere. Screed: You aren't kidding with all this, are you? Marco: No way, man. I never thought to make a living out of music, but what I'm doing right now, I take it so serious, because, like, so many of those rockabilly stars died in their 20s. It's, like, an incomplete story to me, what happened here. And as a dancer, I always loved the beat. When I first played this music, it changed my life, because I was always really hungry for music, was desperate for something, and I went to different rhythms, punk and all that, and I could never find it. Screed: How does it affect you onstage? Marco: Oh, man! I lose control. I'm like The Exorcist, you know what I mean? It's like when you take African rhythms and your body's just shaking, shaking, and that's how I do onstage; my body just loses control.
And I scream a lot, and people sitting out there see that and they scream, and actually, it's great. Screed: Given the fashion possibilities, do you think there're a lot of posers in rockabilly? Marco: Oh, man. A lot of people are into it for the look. I see guys with sideburns, cool pompadours, and I assume they're into rockabilly. We talk, and they say, "Well, I like Duran Duran." Shit . . . Screed: Could rockabilly get big in Phoenix? Marco: Oh, man, I have girls say, "Man, I never liked rockabilly until I came to see you dance." You can tell they're bored, they want something new. A lot of people go to see bands and it's too hard for them, they can't dance to them. I been seeing a lot of new rockabilly bands, and I get wild; I just go crazy. I like the jitterbug, the way they danced before they went to the war; they danced desperate, because they didn't know if they were coming back. So that's how I do it, because tomorrow I don't know what's going to happen. I've seen many bands trying to be like Gin Blossoms since they made it, but that's not the way to go for me. I'll make it official with you: We are the gonest.
THE CURSE OF THE PINK HEARSE : VOL. 1: THE SPY WHO CAME FROM THE GHETTO!!! Well now for something completely different€ Curse Of The Pink Hearse. This is one crazy CD. Based out of Phoenix Arizona, the Curse are a psychobilly/rockabilly band, with a strong Mexican/Spanish influence. This independent CD, released by the band, features lyrics mostly in Spanish, questionable production, and instruments that may, or may not be in proper tune, but no one will care about the li proper tune, but no one will care about the little things, because it is also one of the coolest CDs I've listened to in a long time. By the end of track number two I was sold. That slappin' stand-up bass just picks you up, and carries you effortlessly, along these fine, non-stop rockin tunes. This is the sort of band that you would expect to see playing in the make believe vampire strip club, the "Titty Twister" in Tarentino & Rodriguez's kick ass film, "From Dusk Till Dawn". Stand out tracks include "Laley Oel Heallo" and "Espionage", which features some funky 007isms. The Curse Of The Pink Hearse is raw, energetic, and a hell of a lot of fun. So all you kool kats should catch them at a back water dessert vampire peeler joint near you, or check out their web page at www.curseofthepinkhearse.com. RATING = 8 Psychobilly (Released 2001)
The Curse of the Pink Hearse pre-release test burn copy pinkhearsecurse@netscape.net This disc belongs in a Mexican asylum, as it is a soundtrack to dementia. The patients there mill about with powdered sugar around their mouths and sleep in their eyes, all the while cursing to themselves about the general disposition of tree frogs. After the mid-day medication, Spivey, the one who thinks he is a knit-cap goes into a spastic fit, frothing at the mouth and the other inmates go wild like a pack of love-crazed hamsters. Dancing madly as the Curse of the Pink Hearses€™ melodies infect their brain, one patient loses an eye and another contracts syphilis. But seriously folks, this CD has a kinda mariachi, southwestern sound flavored with trumpets. Some of the slower songs seem to really trail on and on, but the better tracks put me in a daze - a good one where my thoughts roam free like the wild buffalo.
