"Billy Bacon swings & croons -- HotRod Demink rocks and grooves...
If you like the Brian Setzer Orchestra, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Stray Cats, Royal Crown Revue, etc... you will love Billy Bacon and his "Pigs." Billy Bacon & the Forbidden Pigs really cook in live performances. Every one of the trio's CD's is extremely fun to listen to, even if the band does have a tendency to recycle their old favorites on most releases. Look for them if you ever visit San Diego-- the Pigs' hometown.The band is such a fantastic, high-energy, fun live show that I must send a message to the Head Pig In Charge: "Bill, baby, give us a totally live album! Puhleeeeez!!!""
Fun music, especially for a party featuring tequila

"I don't know if I would have ever bought a Billy Bacon CD if I hadn't seen them in concert. It's not very sophisticated music, but it sure is fun, and funny. More fun live than you can imagine until you've experienced them. I first heard them on vacation in the Clearwater Beach area, and I ended up buying a number of their CDs to relive that night, but this remains their best CD. I used to work at a restaurant called the "Texas Star Fajita Bar," and we played it frequently there, though it got on the bartender's nerves. It's Spanglish, Tex-mex-gringo inspired, cerveza-drinking party music, nothing more, nothing less. Play this at your next Cinqo-de-Mayo party, and make sure your guests go home in cabs, not driving."
Unsurpassed Fun....!

"I just saw these guys for the first time. The show was OFF THE FUN SCALE. So much talent and humor jam packed into this trio that you will have a hard time resisting the urge to buy more of their catalogue. Their band website is a must see as well."
