An Interview of Mickey Rourke filmed at Socialista

(Written in 2022)

Here's an interesting interview of the actor Mickey Rourke filmed at Socialista during the time that CG was the Tuesday-night house band there. The club had a short lifespan but the memories of the goings-on there are now legendary. Mickey went right on to do The Wrestler around this time when he would go to Socialista to hang out and relax. Originally released Sept 8, 2008.

Upcoming Radio Opportunities...

Recently, Conjunto Guantanamo have had requests for recorded material by several radio stations both locally and even as far away as Radio Antena Uno in Italy. The requests came in just in time as we are headed into the recording studio even as I write this to lay down some tracks for our new demo disc. That said, everyone please stay tuned for these singles which will be available right here on our MySpace page and on iTunes, and also will hopefully enjoy some airtime on the following radio shows...
Transpacific Sound Paradise with Rob W on WFMU day/time (89.9 FM in NYC)
Jeffry Cobb, also on WFMU (89.9 FM in NYC)

WDNA

Tony V

Radio Antena Uno

A big thanks to these radio show hosts for their interest in our music. Stay tuned. Same Bat-time. Same Bat-channel!
