Music of the 1980s
The Beat Farmers, Psychotic Waltz, and when rap and norteño entered the scene
In Search of the Genuine, Authentic, Sawdust and
Norteño! Unlike Los Tucanes de Tijuana,
Spittoon Honky-Tonk At the Barr-X Ranch House the only people dancing were the band members’ girlfriends, and they were dancing with each other. They played “Oh, Lonesome Me,” not the best choice for a deserted saloon on a Saturday night. A woman sitting at the horseshoe-shaped bar explained to anyone listening that the reason she didn’t look so good tonight was that she fell asleep last night with her make-up on, and her
eyelids had stuck together. BY STEVE SORENSEN, MARCH 1, 1984
Local Rap
“Rapping gives you a way out, Especially if you are good at it. It could kick you up from where you are, and put you on a different level, away from the street scene. Now little kids in the neighborhood, they come up to me, they say ‘Ron, teach me to rap.’ Kids they used to wanna be a doctor, a lawyer, a basketball player, and now they say,
‘I wanna be a DJ, a rapper.’” BY JUDITH MOORE, JUNE 27, 1985
Birth of the Beat Farmers “Somewhere along in there, Herrera
became partners with Jim Pagni, who brought in a lot of concerts in those days, and the Palace changed its name to JJ’s. Glory ended up being the house band at JJ’s for a while, and we opened for a lot of people. We opened for Steely Dan on probably the only tour they ever had. We opened for ZZ Top when
Tres Hombres first came out.” BY ROGER ANDERSON, MARCH 16, 1989
who have never performed in the U.S. because two members lack passports, Los Regionales de San Diego work both sides of the border. They only play in Tijuana, however, when opening shows for Los Tigres and Los Bravos. There’s too much red tape in crossing the border, Jorge says. Perhaps he fears that on his return trip, U.S. customs will tear apart his cherished Hohner No. 2 accordion
in search of contraband. BY LEE HILDEBRAND, JUNE 1, 1989
Meet Psychotic Waltz “The whole thing is — if we get
signed, and we make albums, and we do really well — after we’re gone, we’re still on this earth. John Lennon’s still here. That’s what I want. It’s more than becoming just an average person. After you’re gone, that’s history. But if you’re signed, and you influence an era, and you made a lot of people feel good, and they came to
see you — that’s special. BY MANI MIR, AUG. 3, 1989
(Altamont) We shifted, the patrolman sped away, Lester [Bangs] put the car in gear, and we continued down the Grapevine veering wildly from one lane to the next. At the first exit Lester pulled over and got out. “One of you guys better take over, I don’t think I’m up for this,” he said blearily. He got into the back seat and took a pull from the bottle as Jim powered us back onto the
Everybody Just Be Cool Now
freeway. “Say, where’s that joint?” BY ROGER ANDERSON, DEC. 14, 1989
