From YepRoc Records:

Yuletide Beat is the long awaited follow up to Los Straitjackets’ popular Christmas album ‘Tis The Season for Los Straitjackets. The band has created 10 all new rock & roll arrangements of traditional Holiday carols that’ll have you rockin’ through December and ringing in the New Year with a romantic slow dance to “‘Sould’D Lang Syne.”

The band rides a desert surf wave on “We Three Kings,” takes “Joy to the World” to Memphis, and makes “Jingle Bells” into a Bakersfield sleigh ride. Not to mention entering uncharted territory with a classic rock rendition of “Jolly Old Saint Nick” (retitled “Groovy Old Saint Nick” for 1971 ambience).

This limited-edition pressing (1000 each of the CD and LP) of the Yuletide Beat CD and LP are individually numbered and come in a lovingly printed and letterpressed package by renowned DC area poster artist El Jefe. The limited-edition LP will be pressed on red 10″ vinyl. These won’t last long, so don’t miss you chance to get your hands on some rockin’ holiday tunes from “America’s Instrumentalists.”

2 Kaisers + 2 Rapiers = BEAT CRAZY!

Beat It Up!

After recent Untamed Youth, Man Or Astroman and Mummies reunions, this one would be amazing. The Rapiers are a great beat combo, and if we can’t have a full-blown Kaisers reunion with original members, having two from each combo is pretty much the next best thing.
