The Return of the Dukes of Hamburg! April 23rd @ Mr. T's Bowl
Yes, that's right kiddies! REAL BOSS HOSS is back for one special night of rock n roll!! Like I mentioned before... I've been so bored with the music "scene" in LA that I had to bring it upon myself again to do something about it. I asked my good pals to see if some of them wanted to play LA and sure enough they responded... THE DUKES OF HAYWARD (formerly Hamburg - they moved to Hayward, CA) are doing a special LA show for yours truly to celebrate my 38th year of life. Along with THE DUKES OF HAYWARD will be more awesomeness from the Bay Area (not sure who) and the best of the best from LA. More details will be forthcoming soon...
Stay tuned for more rock n roll.
Stay tuned for more rock n roll.

Downliners Sect NEWS!!
After 47 years - the release of "Bright Lights Big City" - intended to be the Downliners Sect second EP - will officially see the light of day! Let's thank our lucky stars!! The tracks are taken directly from the master reel-to-reel tapes found in a box that some guy found on eBay... The EP will be released on HAND OF GLORY. You can only get them through the website as they won't be sold in stores, so make sure to order your copies!! The tracks will be: Bright Lights Big City/Rock n Roll Music/Do The Dog/I Need You Baby
If that wasn't enough good Sect news, then strap in for this one! The Sect will be visiting the colonies this year. They are scheduled to play the PONDEROSA STOMP in September in New Orleans! So start saving up your coins and let's all go visit and bow down to THE SECT!!

MOJO WORKOUT
Oh yeah friends... I do an Internet radio show with my pals Michael Kaiser, Greg Lonesome, South Bay PORKer Matt, and Jason Snyderbilly on Real Punk Radio.com on Fridays from 5pm-8pm (Pacific Time). We basically talk shit, play records, and occasionally do interviews... some past guests: Russell Quan, Mike Lucas, PJ of Dirty Water Records, Tommy Tombstone... good shit!
Tune into Mojo Workout!

I'm bored...
LA is becoming stagnant again... I'm bored. What happened to rock n roll in LA? "Girl With the Big Hair" seems to be the only one doing rock n roll shows. There's plenty of "DJ nights" in LA... sure they can be fun, but what the fuck? I can drink beer at home and spin records. Plus from the few I've been to, the "clientele" is pretty lame.
I think I'm so bored that I think I'm going to put together a show or two this year. Stay tuned for more rock y roll.

REAL BOSS HOSS - 1996-2009
Hello friends,
I have decided to momentarily end Real Boss Hoss...
This was a long time coming (as those close to me know) and decided to just do it now...
I will probably have one last show later this year... we will then go into the memory banks.
It was a good run that Vito and I started back in 2003... The main reason we started doing shows was to bring some excitement back to LA... bring some of my favorite bands that no one was booking back to LA... Bands from my beloved San Francisco scene - The Phantom Surfers, The Flakes, The Bippies, etc. - my favorite local bands like Satan's Cheerleaders and The South Bay Surfers...
I would like to think that we shook up some stuff down here in dull Los Angeles for a few years and introduced many people to new bands and hopefully managed to infect some kids into starting new bands themselves... Unfortunately things seem to be going backwards now... Things seem be going back to how they were when we first kick-started Real Boss Hoss, but I don't have the energy or the health right now to continue the fight... I hope someone else picks up where I left off and continues the primitive rock n roll fight!!
I would like to thank all the bands who played Real Boss Hoss shows, the DJs who spun killer stuff, James Beck for always making a show fun, all the people who helped and supported the Real Boss Hoss shows with promotion, buying t-shirts, etc., making flyers and posters, the venues who gave us a chance to do our thing... it was fun!!
Special thanks to my wife Melinda for all her help and support and very special thanks to the following bands, DJs, and friends: Mike Lucas, Russell Quan, Brett Stillo, Shannon Whitney-Owen, Nick and Ben Simich, Edgar Rodriguez, Sharkey, Ben Day, Jonny Whiteside, Falling James, Kai Roath for always putting up out of town bands, Michael Kaiser, Brennan (BTMC), Mondo Video Au Go Go, Norma Jean & The Eye, The Be Neats, Rock n Roll Adventure Kids, The Phantom Surfers, The Flakes, The LaTeenos, Satan's Cheerleaders, The South Bay Surfers, The Jinxes, The Trashwomen, Thee Cormans, The Bippies, Sir Dance A Lot, Thee Fine Lines, The Knights of the New Crusade, The Chopsticks, The Legendary Stardust Cowboy, Jimmy Angel, The Okmoniks, The Guilty Hearts, The Khans, The Del Lames, The Red Barons, The Go Nuts, Deke Dickerson's All Star Frat Band, The Boars, The Thingz, The Barbary Coasters, The Sadist V, Da Killa Whales, Beethoven & The Psychedelic Daisy Orchestra, The Traditional Fools, St. Jorge & the Dragons, Tristan & the Tramps, The Worried Minds, The Shruggs, Th' Losin' Streaks, Nikki Corvette, The A Bones, Roy Loney, Haunted George, Those Lordsburg Lads, Jail Weddings, The Hexxers, Las Primitivas/Tuff Titties, Mark & The Escorts, Thee Ambertones, The Au Go Go Karts, The Teutonics, The Swiss Family Skiers, The Hysterians, Les Hormones, The Troublemakers, Thee Crucials, The Baci Galoopis, John Schooley, Special Ed, Some Dudes, The Dazes, Wounded Lion, Wild Weekend, Slow Poisoner, The Devilettes, Tony the Tyger, Freakstik13, Audrey Moorehead, DJ B In Her Bonnet, Alberto Sol, St. Jorge, DJ Ben Corman, Arlo and Gus at Mr. T's Bowl, The Stagger Inn, The Ramada Inn, The Elks Lodge, Annie's Social Club, The Doll Hut (where we got our start), Kaiser Records, Slovenly Records, Repent Records, Norton Records, Hook or Crook, Brat Store, Wes & "Trash-o-matic A Go Go," Reverend Dan & "Music for Nimrods," Uncle Tim & "The Bomb Shelter," Allan Larman, Howie Pyro, Joe Escalante, Michael Kaiser and "Radioblivion," Brat Store, Don's Music, Rudos & Rubes, Tugboat Studios, LA Record, every sponsor who bought an ad from us, every DJ who plugged our shows, every person who reposted our bulletins or mentioned us in blogs, and last but certainly not least - every single one of you who came to a show and supported the bands and this little scene we started... I THANK YOU ALL from the bottom of my heart...
All my love to you all...
Jorge
