Biography
Rosie Flores was born in San Antonio, Texas, where she lived until the age of twelve, when her family moved to San Diego. In interviews, Flores has recalled that growing up, she loved to watch musical television shows like the Dick Clark Show and Hit Parade. She began singing as a young child, and her brother, Roger, taught her to play rhythm guitar when she was a teenager.
Flores formed her first band, Penelope’s Children, while still in high school in California. In the 1970s, Flores played the San Diego nightclub circuit and was the namesake of the alt country band Rosie and the Screamers. After leaving the Screamers, she joined a "cow-punk," all-female band called Screamin' Sirens in the 1980s. The latter band produced a series of 7-inch singles and tracks for compilation albums before releasing a single full-length recording in 1987, an album called Voodoo.

Rockabilly Filly
by: Rosie FloresShoo, shoo, shoo-shoo Little man you left me flat Now I don't know where I'm at Hard times ahead
Took me for a good time swing Left me only blues to sing Hard times ahead
Hard times of grieve and woe Hard times of moanin' low Good times goodbye for good You can't treat a heart like a block of wood
Wish you come on back to me To relieve my misery Hard times ahead
Shoo, shoo, shoo-shoo Shoo, shoo, shoo-shoo
Hard times of grieve and woe Hard times of moanin' low Good times goodbye for good You can't treat a heart like a block of wood
Little man without your love All I've got's a future of Hard times ahead I got hard times ahead Don't you know I got hard times ahead [Fade]
