I will apologize to our loyal readership for the belated nature of this story. It’s been a few weeks since the actual concert. I recently got married and went on my Honeymoon. With all of the build-up, planning, and aftershocks, I ‘m still playing catch-up.
This years Lone Star Round-up happened the weekend after my Honeymoon. As it is, I missed the entire first day of the festival due to driving back from New Orleans. Getting back home to Austin, Texas late Friday. My new wife, Jamie Bahr and I woke up the next morning, surprisingly refreshed from our long trek back home. “Wanna go see Wanda Jackson at the Round-up, this afternoon” I mumbled. We were still snuggling at this time. But there wasn’t much of debate on if this was a good idea or not. Pretty soon we were heading out, spirits high

I’m a 1950′s Pin-UpAholic! I grew up watching my dad airbrush Pin-Ups on cars and it is my dream come true to be able to mimick the great Pin-Up Gals I grew up loving! I have not been at this but for about a year and I am very happy with the results. Just like any other Pin Up girl I’m waiting for a big break for this red-headed, Bettie Page lovin’, 1957 Cadillac lovin’, Pin-UpAholic Pin-Up Girl! I love Pin-Ups and I am 1950′s Zombie Pin-Up photographer to fuel my love for Zombies and Pin-Ups. (www.facebook.com/WherePrettyGirlsArePrettyZombies)

Mark Badger and the Shady Trio; a Rockabilly band from England. The name was unknown to me, but they are certainly no newcomers in the music scene.
Mike Badger is an English singer-songwriter, guitarist, artist and sculptor from Liverpool. He was co-founder of The La’s and went on to form alternative country/roots rockabilly band The Onset in 1988 and The Kachinas in 1996. He is also a partner in Liverpool’s independent Viper Label.
He has released several solo albums, performed in Austin, Texas in 2009 with local and international acts and formed a band called the Nashville Liverpool Underground Medicine Show. His current band, Mike Badger and the Shady Trio formed in summer 2010.
The Shady Trio is: Barry Southern (lead guitar and backing vocals), Chris Marshall (double bass and backing vocals) and Ian Laney (percussion and backing vocals).
They’ve released their first CD called “Lucky 13”. As the name suggests, the CD consists of 13 songs, all written by Mike, both the lyrics and the music! Surely this is worth mentioning, because many, especially new bands in the scene limit themselves to playing, well known or not so well known, covers.
On this CD Mike returns to his “old love” the pure, raw Rockabilly. As he quotes:
“I have made music in different styles, though usually Roots music, garage, rock and country, but I keep coming back to Rockabilly. It’s the fount from whence everything else has sprung, it’s raw, dynamic, uplifting and out for a good time! I want to bring original, contemporary Rockabilly back into people’s lives”.

Hello! I am Valerie Voiture, an amateur model, but professional hot rod and lead sled enthusiast! In fact, “Voiture” is french for “car.” I adore traditional pre ’64 cars, especially open wheel rods built like the old school rodders would have built back in the 50s. The ’49 ford Sedan in the photo here is my own. We chopped the roof and frenched in the headlights, louvred the hood, among other things.
My musical tastes ranges quite a bit, but tend to like the old stuff the most. I am most inspired by the curvy classical pin styles up of Gil Elvgren and Alberto Varga so while I do not have any tattoos personally, I love to see art on other people! I love micro-brews, I have about 100 pairs of shoes, and I am currently applying to graduate school.
I live in the Motor City capitol of the world, Michigan! Which is a good thing since some of the very best hot rods come out of this state, in my humble opinion. My hubby and I travel around the mid west every summer in my Shoebox and tour some very awesome car shows such as Vintage Torque Fest, Relix Riot, Cheaterama, Beatersville, and Sins of Steel, to name a few. So, if you see me there, please make sure you say, “hello!”

Het Hoekpandje The Hague
I have interviewed Lil’ Esther before for Rockabilly Online. I watched her in the past, being part of her audience, but since the interview we kept in touch. When I played in her hometown The Hague with my band The Nightcaptains, she visited me, and was part of my audience. I felt honored. She’s been singing since the eighties with The Bugaloos, now with her Tinstars and some bands inbetween. She has been touring in the USA, Finland and the rest of Europe. I admire her love for music and energy. I had two gigs last weekend, and after that I was already tired I told her. I’m not such a tough gal I guess. Haha. During the The Hague gig in December 2011, while the band was playing I asked my bassplayer Mars to sing a song, I jumped off the stage and asked Esther to sing with me. She came up with Hop Skip and Jump, we rehearsed for 30 seconds behind the bar and ran up on stage together. We sang close harmony during the chorus. It was like it was not the first time we sang together but we did. We enjoyed it so much, we had to do it more often, just for fun.

Becky Ryan sent us a message saying: “I’m passionate about art and trying my hardest to get some work as it’s my dream to be able to make a living from my illustration work.”
If we can help… we will… so I took a look at Becky’s art and was so much pleased I thought I’d give her a chance to present herself. Well, let her art speak for themselves too.

Cousin Harley
I never heard of the Bounty op Streate festival in Breskens (the Netherlands) untill Alexander Verwilst told me about it:
The idea of Bounty op Straete festival started when Henry Evans of Red Hot Trio said he would love to share the stage with Paul Pigat (Cousin Harley). They both are acquainted so why not? All for the good cause of music!

Hello there!
My name is Laura, I’m 29, and currently serving in the USAF as Security Forces.
I have lived in Southern California my whole life and wouldn’t have it any other way! I have been a pinup/rockabilly fan for a bit and recently gained the confidence to start doing a little bit of modeling. While I have not yet been published or featured, It is definitely a goal I am working towards. I would love to help spread confidence to other plus size and curvy women. Just because we are bigger doesn’t mean that we can’t be fashion forward!! Since I spend a lot of time in uniform, every day that I have off, I love taking my time to get ready making sure my makeup and hair is immaculate! I spend most of my free time attending small shows in support of local rockabilly and psychobilly bands such as The Sugar Daddy’s and Graveyard Drifters. When I am lounging at home I enjoy filling my time with movies as I work on different craft projects whether it be a new fascinator, a purse, or knitted scarf for my friends.
My photographers name is David House and here is the link to his website

Here’s another album of the Swedish record label: HepTown records: The troubled Three – Moving on.
The troubled Three are a trio from Stockholm, Sweden. Rick LeMae, drums. Huckleberry Jerry, guitar. Travellin’ Tom, double bass.
They started this Rockabilly band in 2009, but they have a background in rock, punk and pop. When they dived into the roots music they found Big Joe Turner, Roy Montrell and the Tielmanbrothers as their inspiration. They are known to have a stageshow with instruments flying around or even bandmembers balancing on one another.
In 2011 they participated in the tv program: “Sweden’s got Talent” and made it all the way to the semi finals.

Greetings from The Mexican Spitfire of Burlesque, Ruby Champagne! Ruby began her Burlesque craft in New York City by attending The New York School of Burlesque and debuted in Dec. ’06 in a NYC venue. Since then, she relocated back to her native Southern CA and is still going strong and progressing as a Performer. Ruby has the fun privilege of dabbling in modeling thanks to her debut with that dazzling photogenic smile in the ’08 L.A. Burlesque Calendar. She’s been featured in publications such as Bachelor Pad Magazine, Retro Lovely, Milk Cow, and university magazines highlighting her Burlesque career and modeled for local clothing designers. In 2010, Ruby’s journey in Burlesque successfully earned her the title, “Miss Viva Las Vegas 2010″ in the Viva Las Vegas Burlesque Competition, which was an extraordinary experience all its own. To this day she’s ever so grateful to her friends and fans for their support and encouragement. She’s recently featured on a soda bottle for Sort This Out Sodas as a singer in the USO. She graciously continues to perform and model and welcomes all opportunities to represent classic beauty, glamour, petite pizazze, and curves!

Hey everyone! My names Sara aka Rockabilly Woman, I’m 18 and a great admirer of the classic 50s and the modern rockabilly version. I’ve just finished a fashion and textiles course as well as a photography course, for which I studied the 50s to really extend my knowledge of this era and I fell in love with the whole style and so far there’s nothing I don’t like. I especially love the pinups, being cheeky, fun and flattering. Also being a plus size girl I have struggled with self confidence, but with my shape, 50s, rockabilly and pinups give me the extra confidence boost I need. I love to be in front of the camera as well as behind it, especially with one of my greatest ladies (Jordane, who has also won pin up of the week) this era and style is a great laugh and the outcomes are always fantastic. Im currently starting up a company designing t-shirt images on http://www.sneakypetesonline.co.uk/ (coming soon), using a lot of pinups and 50s inspired illustrations. I still do photoshoots in my spare time as I enjoy it so much and after my college course I now make my own clothes as a lot of the clothes I love are so expensive and I like to be different so can put my own twist on clothing. This Picture was taken by Jordane Roberts, one of the greatest girls I know! Love her to bits! So would just like to encourage any girls reading this to give the rockabilly style a chance, you wont regret it! Much love x

Readers of this column will remember that at last post, yours truly was in the running to perform at the Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekender coming up in April. Well, thanks to you and a score of supportive friends and fans, I was voted into one of the few performance spots! Endless thanks go out to all of you who voted– the race was so close, and every single vote mattered.
One time in Vegas... Ruby Joule, by Don Spiro
The pressure isn’t off yet though; the real competition hasn’t even begun! You see, this burlesque show will feature the eight finalists competing for the big ol’ title of “Miss Viva Las Vegas 2012.” I wanted to get the real low-down on what it takes to land this award, so I met up for cyber-cocktails with some of the previous winners.

Together, they hit the road in their vintage Lincoln Continental, to present the latest record “Keep on Rollin’” (Electric Lotus Label, 2011) during their 2011 South-western tour. From Tucson to Las Vegas, with his Super 8 camera, Steven captured the authenticity, the energy and the talent of musicians dedicated to their music.
