Los Angeles might be the corporate music capital of the world, but it’s also the home to America’s longest-running underground music scene, a scene that has survived underground 50 years thanks to diehard musicians, promoters and fans of the rebel rock you won’t see on MTV. A scene hidden in Hollywood, but never caught on film. Until now.
Rebel Beat: The Story of LA Rockabilly is the first documentary to tell the story of LA’s original underground music scene, from the 50s cowboy rockers like Glen Glenn, to the revivalists like Ray Campi who brought the slappin’ bass to LA punk, to legends like Big Sandy and Dave Gonzales to the young Barrio-Billy boys spicing up the mix.
The laid back cousin of the more commercial psychobilly, LA Rockabilly remains a low brow, low-fi, sexy culture with a passion for its retro roots. Rebel Beat captures LA Rockabilly’s small town soul at car shows, swap meets, barbecues, barrio cafes and hidden juke joints – far from the Strip – before pulling up to the West Coast’s biggest rockabilly party of the year, Viva Las Vegas.
Rebel Beat interviews over 30 promoters (including legendary Rockin’ Ronny Weiser of Rollin’ Rock Records), musicians, car customizers, DJs and dancers, plus features rare archival photos, vintage TV clips and music montages that highlight the fashion, cars, pomps, ink and dance moves of the pussycats and hound dogs of LA Rockabilly.
“Rebel Beat” was produced and directed by Betty B., contributing editor to “Documentary” magazine. Betty also writes about travel and film for outlets including Fine Living and USA Today.
We're heading back to the US again in October for our 'Shadows Emerge Tour' of the West Coast USA and we'll be supporting Tiger Army & 45 Grave at Octoberflame, Oct 30th at the Grove of Anaheim CA.
