SAN JORDI GETS READY TO ROCK THE 3[SUP]rd[/SUP] EDITION OF THE ‘ROCK N MOLA' RETRO FEST
THE THREE DAY FESTIVAL IS CONFIRMED FOR 17-19 MAY
THE CAEZARS HEAD THE LINE UP ALONGSIDE LOCAL BANDS AND ARTISTS
(FIX IBIZA/ 2 MAY 2013):: For the 3rd year in Ibiza, the island's rock n roll retrofest, ROCK N MOLA, is back on the island with the confirmed dates set as 17-19 May 2013. With the San Jordi village plaza as its central rockin' point, organisers of the event have confirmed a choice selection of live music and DJs over the course of the weekend, along with the return of the Rock n Mola Market, the Classic Car Show, Pin Up Studio, MotoMania, BabyRockers, Classic Cinema and lots and lots more rockin' rollin' stuff for the young and the young at heart.
As per the previous two editions of the event, it's the music which forms the backbone of the weekend long celebration of vintage lifestyle and this year, Rock n Mola is bringing to the island for the debut performance in the Baleares, a band that are raising the rockabilly roof across Europe; all hail THE CAEZARS! The 5 piece group of young whippersnappers, hailing from London, have been storming their scene over the last few years, getting airplay across BBC Radio and raking in reviews that that describes their Vintage styled Surf-Rock & Rock'n'Roll as something “that Tarantino would be proud of" (Timeout Magazine). They look the part, they sound the part, they live the part!
Joining them on the stage, and across San Jordi, a wealth of international and island talent including The Moonshine Band, Elv.Is Bob, The Folkin' Hobos and introducing the festival's youngblood, we're bringing in extraordinarily talented local boy, Marlon Lopez. Between them plus DJs including Stray Kitten, Peter Colins, Selector No Roots, Twisted Ace, The Shelter, Daisy Heartbreaker, Bombatron and Bones, expect a soundtrack combining pyschobilly, rockabilly, roots, country, swing, stroll and all that jazz. Rock, n Roll, people…
As for where you can find all of the above happening, apart from San Jordi Plaza, Rock n Mola HotSpots are confirmed as Boutique Hostal Salinas, Can Jordi, Vinyl Burger Bar, Cadillac Burger and the HAMC Ibiza Chapter ClubHouse with several San Jordi locals also being confirmed. Fix's own Can Canney will no doubt also become a bit of a meeting point, but that's only for those really in the know!
In the Rock n Mola RetroMart, which will take place on Saturday 18[SUP]th[/SUP], morning til night, Rock n Mola have once again gathered together a group of vintage and retro lovers and sellers, all bringing their wares of all shapes and sizes to the Rock n Mola market on Saturday 18[SUP]th[/SUP], again in the Plaza San Jordi. From Cupcake Collection keeping us sweet to Trash Tienda multitude of recycle/restyle bargains, local labels including Bonnie & Crime's retro heroes as well as two U.K vintage shops, Voodoo Doll and What Alice Found, plus many more interspersed between the classic cars of The Classic Automovile Club Ibizaand local company, Cars from Yesterday as well customized motorbikes from local businesses and private owners, the local motorbike groups and other classic vehicles.
Meanwhile, over in the Rock n Mola Kissing Booth- Ibiza Pin Ups are taking over, getting you girls all dolled up pin-up style for the evening ahead. Freshly landed from Australia, Pin Up's founder Emma Salmon and her cutie-patootie team of chicas are on hand to do your vintage hair and make- up and will even get you dressed in one of their cheeky little retro outfits for your Pin Up Photo Shoot. This is old school glamour at its height and of course, ALL our Pin Ups will automatically go forward in the selection to find our Rock n Mola Queen of The Hop 2013!!
Back on the stage, entertaining us with their twistin' and jivin' dance moves, it's the Capricorn Dance School, who, under the guidance of their director, Sandy Plant, will be leading the crowd in a jive session in the Square. With Arts and Crafts, face painting and Kids' activities all in all it's a weekend of fun, family, music and colour retro rock n roll style, just like the olden days!
As of now, FIX Ibiza are full steam ahead with preparations for this third edition of Rock n Mola, and welcome all suggestions on how to make this year's event bigger and better!Members of the public are invited to contact organisers if they wish to participate.
Get your dancing shoes on, it's Rock n Mola O'Clock!

LIVE! The Caezars/The Moonshine Band/The Folkin' Hobos/Marlon Lopez/Elv.is Bob
With final details for the smooth running of the three-day event being tied up against the clock as we speak, organiser of the event, yours truly, can only hope that the weather stays nice and that The Caezars don't miss their flights.
Other than that, I think we are pretty much there with what we hope will be a weekend of fun, music, shopping, dancing and prancing all done in a rather retro manner.
SOME HOT TIPS FOR THIS YEARâ€S FESTIVAL*:
- · Don't miss our youngblood Marlon Lopez rip it up at Can Jordi Blues Station on Friday with a special appearance from his 12 year old brother Taidgh.
- · Saturday's action in La Plaza starts early with some great activities for the kids- Baby Rockers are in charge of that department and with activities that include their signature Mama & Baby music session, face-painting and arts & crafts, get there early; it's all happening in the Rock n Roll Playground.
- · The Queen of the Hop contest! With the help of Ibiza Pin Ups, we'll be transforming you girls into veritable pin-ups; you'll then be automatically entered into our search for our Queen of the Hop, with the winner being announced before the headline act. Our Queen will also go home with some very sweet prizes! Mola!
- · Capricorn Escuela de Baile are confirmed to take over the square at approx. 18.45, Saturday, with a rock n roll performance that defies the dancers' tender years. Then again, with Sandy Plant as a teacher, we should expect no less.
- · The Classic Automovile Club Ibiza as well as a number of private owners are set to get our grease monkey juices flowing with their lovingly restored vintage vehicles of all shapes and sizes for us to drool over. And that's not to mention Ibiza Custom Cycles and Cars From Yesterday also getting involved in the expo as well as a number of the local motorbike clubs. Brummm.
- · As for the rest of the action, our RetroMarket promises a whole selection of treats for vintage lovers- from clothes to curiosities, cupcakes to collectors' items and everything in between, get stuck in, second hand fans.
- · For eats, get your burgers and hot dogs from our bar, sweets and savouries from Cupcake Collection and of course, for lunch, head to one of our Hot Spots- Cadillac Burger, Cas Sac, Vinyl Bar, Can Sala and Rasca Lobos for a Rock n Mola Menu.
- · Don't forget about Sunday, the last day of this year's festival. To help us recover from the night before, Boutique Hostal Salinas is where we'll spend the day-and night twistin' by the pool, Really Bloody Mary in hand, doing it all over again with some of the best retro related DJs we know. Later on for the Lovers, keep watch for the special rosemantic slowset and for the movie buffs, some of our favourite 50s classics including The Wanderers and Rebel Without a Cause.
For full details of running order, see programme attached. For the rest, it's all about the people, the party and the pueblo. Just like the good old days...
