I'm from California and in Los Angeles members of the Mexican American community are still heavily involved in Rockabilly culture. Here are some beauties from Los Angeles.
...And apparently there is a Rockabilly scene in Tokyo, too. That's pretty awesome!
hey pachuco! yeah the rockabilly scene is way strong still. cats in asia are dedicated to the rockabilly life. i think you can still find videos of their bike clubs getting together and dancing and rocking the biggest quiffs you've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteI love these pictures. I have a photoshoot for the Miss Cal pageant on Saturday that is supposed to be a modern retro theme of any era of our choice. I did the same thing and looked up old magazine covers. My dress looks like the pokadot one in the last picture.
ReplyDeleteLove the pics! I often think about looking up pics of Filipino- Americans in order to gain more insight on life from the 70's. Cool!
ReplyDeleteI really like these pics! I knew that there was a huge Rockabilly scene in Japan. Remember in the movie Kill Bill when she goes to Japan and that cute 60's retro band is playing the club?!
