. - His real name is Robert Lopez, but to his fans across the country and in Europe he is El Vez, the Mexican Elvis. With his many flashy costumes, his Elvis song parodies ("You Ain’t Nothin’ but a Chihuahua", "Lordy Miss Lupe"), his backup band (The Memphis Mariachis) and his bee-hived backup singers (The Elvettes – Priscillita, Gladysita, Lisa Maria, and Que Linda Thompson), some might consider El Vez a novelty item. But El Vez is as much an educator as an entertainer, using his act to tackle issues such as Mexican social and political consciousness, safe sex, homophobia, racism, gang violence, drug abuse, as well as telling his audience about Che Guevara, Zapatistas, and United Farm Workers. El Rey de Rock ‘n’ Roll takes an in-depth, on-and-off-stage look at El Vez and the man behind him, a shyly private gay man, former LA art gallery curator and punk musician whose one-time-only party joke has turned into a decade old career.
