If you can't see them live, here's the soundtrack!

"Nicely collected tracks from the 2006 Los Straitjackets/Pontani Sisters and Kaiser George travelling show will rock you! One of the coolest shows on the road this year combines three acts into one great experience. I'm sure that this was created for sale at the shows: that's where I grabbed my copy. And this, ladies and gentlemen, is what rock and roll looks like: showy, loud and memorable.
Accompanying DVD of the Pontanis at play is cute stuff; would've enjoyed seeing them live, as at the Abbey in Chicago where they melted the room with the best a-go-go moves since Joey Heatherton and the Ikettes, except the Pontanis really do it all better... honest.
Let's face it, radio right now sucks; there's nothing that you can dance to or want to play for another few decades. But for the cats with hi-fi goggles on, rev this CD up and have a blast. Add another CD to it if you can: Kaiser George and the Hi-Risers put this Scottish mod at the top of my Mersey Beat playlist. Whatever they're doin, please keep it playin'!
Viva Los Straitjackets!"
If you want to have some fun, this album is definitely for y

"2006 meets the 60's. This album is beyond fun - it's catchy, sly, and chock-full of tongue-in-cheek kitsch. Strap on your dancing shoes and prepare to start twisting!"
Oh, yeah baby!

"The Masked Marvels are back and still batting a 1000!!! Considering the totally depressing state of rock n roll these days, this CD is a true tonic for the troops (to borrow from the BTRs!). I've listened to this CD so many times since I picked it up, and smiled each and everytime I hear it, that I'm beginning to turn into a foot stompin Transylvanian gorilla a go go in grand love orbit (or something like that...). What a great combination --- Los Straitjackets, The Pontanis, and good ol' Kaiser George. Link and Dale meet the Mersey Beat! What more could one ask for? Music is alive again --- and FUN! Muchas gracias amigos! Muy caliente! In summary: if you don't like this one, then, well, you're really twisted."
