This is trash. Pure and simple.
Three mustachoid Australiens clad in pre-some-war Mexican Uniforms, each adorned with a flickering chain of christmas lights and equipped with a bassdrum, a guitar and various percussion each performing a unique mixture of garage-rockabilly-mariachi-noise, mostly instrumental.
The lyrics are spanish, mostly, if you want to call it lyrics, or spanish.
The music is only half of the fun, it's a sight to see and a great and entertaining - and highly danceable show, you just have to make up your mind if you want to go latin or pogo.

And somehow the word must have gotten out, the Hafenklang rather full, more than 100 people.

Recorded from the fringes of the dancing crowd, 3 meters from stage, to the right. Not a quiet crowd exactly, but doesn't matter as the music isn't quiet neither, so you'll hear chatter and laughter only between the songs. Sound quality came out better than expected. Apart from the crowd there is a slight buzz from one of the amps.
The recording is incomplete, missed the last song of the encore because the Hi-MD ran out without me noticing it, doesn't matter that much because the band had run out of songs and started all over again.

If anybody can help with the song titles - appreciated.
