Das Trio Reverend Horton Heat sind drei Herren aus Texas, die als wilde Psychobilly- und Trash-Band in Zeiten des Grunge anfangs der 90er Jahre groß geworden sind. Stilecht haben sie damals ihre ersten beiden Alben beim Sub Pop-Label aus Seattle veröffentlicht. Dort wo auch Nirvana und Pearl Jam ihre Wurzeln hatten. Mit ihrem aktuellen Album >LAUGHIN’AND CRYIN< im Gepäck kommen die Jungs um Frontman Jim Heath ins Gruenspan, um ihre Rockabilly-Kracher zu präsentieren. Gemeinsam mit den Astro Zombies, Waltons, Kamikaze Queens und Deadbol werden die Jungs ordentlich aufdrehen, das Line-Up kann sich sehen lassen!

INFO:

Recently, the Reverend Horton Heat, aka Jim Heath, had something along the lines of what he calls an epiphany. He’s a little tired of being taken so seriously-well, maybe not seriously, exactly, but you get the idea-and lately he’s noticed that some of his funnier, country-tinged songs were his biggest crowd pleasers. Besides, being entertaining is what this is all about, right? So, ladies and gents, roll your smokes up in your sleeve and hold on to your cowboy hats, it’s time to take a trip back to a time before slick, over-produced country became the norm-a time when outlaws wrote songs about being without a pot to piss in-or at least about psycho exboyfriends and deadbeat girlfriends that spend your paycheck faster than you can say Lone Star.
Welcome to Laughin’ and Cryin’ with the Reverend Horton Heat a record full of country-heavy tunes about bad habits, well-meaning but clueless husbands, ever-expanding beer-guts and, well, Texas. It wouldn’t be a Reverend Horton Heat record without a song or-in this case, two-about the Lone Star State. And, while Laughin’ and Cryin’ marks a detour from the hard driving punkabilly of the Rev’s last record, 2004’s Revival, this time tending toward honk, there’s still some shit-kickers ["Death Metal Guys"] to let you know that Heath and crew still mean business.
