Listen "Mestizo Sounds presents a Special Halloween Mix - 23-10-21"
Episode Synopsis
Halloween Night is a good time for Rock & Roll. With this in check, I have made this selection. Rock music styles mingled such as oldies rock & roll with post-punk with doses of blues, goth, psychobilly, surf music, sixty garage, electro-punk or hard rock. The soundtrack to Halloween for me is a spine-chilling hell of the noise of rock music dark side.
Nothing like this musical genre with the right sounds reflects more the spirit of the scary night to celebrate the Night of the Dead. That’s the essence of this Mix. Fear and fun intertwined. Recommended to be played very LOUD! even to the annoyance of your neighbours, flatmates or inmates.
The artists you’ll hear are from a diverse group of musical outcasts from -one- Screamin’ - Jay Hawkins to -another- Screaming - Lord Sutch - the outrageous founder of the Monster Raving Loony Party in the UK. We will hear the pre-punk wild sound of Link Wray’s guitar matched with his frightening voice singing about the Hidden Charms. The extravagant and fearless Nina Hagen describes her nightmares, The Misfits celebrating the debauchery of Halloween night and The Cramps finding eyeballs in their martinis.
I’ve also added some of my Halloween fiends compatriots such as Paralisis Permanente -I have a passenger inside my body-, Alaska y Los Pegamoides- back spelling Murder- and even an Argentinian current band, Capsula, telling us the tale of the ghost town. In the garage department, special mention to Roky Erickson’s haunting voice as a Soul salesman or the cavernous sound of The Sonics hailing for the Witch.
