   About The Highballs
"The Mariachi's in 'Once Upon a Time in Mexico' could even cut loose to this crashing n' bashing local group of fez-wearing Span-glish singing hombres. The eight song CD [Montezumas Revenge] cuts across the whole Tex-Mex, border-rock tradition like Zorro's sword, going down as easily as a cold Corona with a mezcal chaser. An example is 'Frio Bandolero'. Little more than a chunky garage punk guitar riff wedding to blasting spanish trumpet and R&B Saxophone solos, the song will have ya dancing like jumpin' beans on a hot tortilla grill." - Stuart Derdeyn (Vancouver Province) ...................................................................... "With paper hats, paper tiaras and horns warmed, the crowd brought in 2004 with the help of Fez-wearing pseudo-Spaniard party animals The Highballs.... The Highballs have an addictive high energy quality to them. Within minutes the group had the crowd up and on their feet dancing to the mixture of wacky Mexicanised punk-polka originals and fun covers." - Sarah Murdoch (Exclaim! Magazine)
