Reverend Horton Heat

From the venue:

Loaded guns, space heaters, and big skies. Welcome to the lethal littered landscape of Jim Heath’s imagination. True to his high evan

gelical calling, Jim is a Revelator, both revealing & reinterpreting the country-blues-rock roots of Ameri can music. He’s a time-travelling space-cowboy on a endless inter stellar musical tour, and we are all the richer & “psychobillier” for get ting to tag along.

Seeing REVEREND HORTON HEAT live is a transformative ex perience. Flames come off the gui tars. Heat singes your skin. There’s nothing like the primal tribal rock & roll transfiguration of a Rever end Horton Heat show. Jim be comes a slicked-back 1950′s rock & roll shaman channeling Screamin’ Jay Hawkins through Buddy Holly, while Jimbo incinerates the Stand Up Bass. And then there are the “Heatettes”. Those foxy rockabilly chicks dressed in poodle-skirts and cowboy boots slamming the

night away. It’s like being magically transported into a Teen Exploita tion picture from the 1950′s that’s currently taking place in the future. Listening to the REVEREND HOR TON HEAT is tantamount to injecting pure musical nitrous into the hot-rod engine of your heart. The Reverend’s commandants are simple.
