The Bikini Beach Band will perform at What's Cookin' @ Leytonstone Social Club on 9 December 2026. The band, led by guitarist Jesus C. Escovedo, has a unique backstory involving his escape from political turmoil in Mexico. The performance will highlight their musical journey and contributions to the instrumental scene.
The True Story
Jesus C. Escovidoof The Bikini Beach Band begins with one man - Jesus C. Escovedo - guitarist, revolutionary, ladies' man and 1956 All-Mexico Surfing Champion.
Forced by his political beliefs to flee from his homeland, he escaped by stowing away on a cruise liner with only a guitar, a Hawaiian shirt and an autographed photo of Duane Eddy.
He landed in Southampton, convinced Britain would welcome his music with open arms. Sadly, this was not to be. His debut single, Gringo Woody Stomp (Mecca Recordings), was released on the same day as The Beatles' She Loves You consigned the British instrumental scene to history. But Jesus was not downhearted.
