Wild Karma
Ride for a Fall
(Crazy Wild Records)
As readers present will soon find, there's more to the Wild Karma story than rockin' stylizations that seem propelled from some straight-from-the-fridge, chrome-finned Seeburg.
June's Eight Ball Day #13 festival was to be hosted by the Teddy Cruisers, on their 20th anniversary, in Thise, France. But it was suddenly canceled by meddlesome, po-faced, government snoot-suits (despite considerable preparations, advertising, and band/fan arrangements), who were het up over a red heatwave alert (vigilance rouge canicule) and feared attendees might not possess the sense to seek healthful hydration.
Wild Karma's Facebook response: "Thanks to our dear elected officials for thinking of our place. We could have made the tragic mistake of drinking a cold beer at the counter in full autonomy. All this prep work wasted because we're treated like preschoolers who forgot their caps. Long live general infantilization!"
Wild Karma, then, are to be admired not just for sounds impressive, but also for exemplifying Rockabilly's sharp-stick-in-officialdom's-eye spirit.
