Alex has said that "Wired Up" was what lured him to Sheena's, and why he wanted to move his show here. So this is a little tribute. He'll get back to his usual punk/garage mix in the future.
Hey Mr. Fab! I just heard about Ronnie a couple of hours ago. I'm gutted! She was my fave of the '60's girls. I got to see her twice here in Austin. Both time were so magical!! The first time was on New Year's Eve 2014 and I got right up front at a small venue where she played outside. Her voice was still the same and her stories between songs were so great! Then I saw her when she did her Christmas special and showed old clips from her and the girls at old shows, interviews, etc.! It was another amazing show! I saw her at a very cool theater here in Austin. May she rest in peace!
You are so right, Mr. Fab! The 2nd venue wasn't as small and both shows were packed!! Wanda Jackson also opened for her at the Christmas show. That was an extra treat!! I'll never forget either night!♥️♥️♥️
Wow, now THAT is an inspired double bill. At least I have seen Wanda Jackson. For free, no less. At Amoeba Hollywood, so I could shop for records at the same time. She also told great stories. Her husband came up, bragging about how he was the one to marry Wanda: "I'm the guy that beat out Elvis!"
Haha, Mr. Fab! I've seen Wanda many times and I got her autograph after a show once. She signed a pic of herself when she was young she was selling at the show. Such a cool lady! I've seen her husband before, too. She's brought him on stage. I'm happy she's still with us! Her stories are fab, too!

Have you all heard her EP she made in the ‘90s with one of her chief disciples Joey Ramone? So great.
