Reverend Horton Heat May 16, 2008

FRI., MAY 16TH @ MERIDIAN:

THE REVEREND HORTON HEAT!!!

Undeniably, The Reverend Horton Heat, aka Jim Heath, is the biggest, baddest, grittiest, greasiest, greatest rocker that ever piled his hair up and pounded the drinks down. It?s been an almost 20-year journey for Heath, whose country-flavored punkabilly and onstage antics have brought him and his band a strikingly diverse fan base and a devoted cult following, not to mention the respect of fellow musicians worldwide. It?s true that the Reverend Horton Heat have been called a great many things over the course of their storied career: Perpetual Carriers Of The Rockabilly Flame, Genre-Shattering Sh*t-Starters, Filthy Drunks, and The Most Electrifying Live Act In America (150 shows every year can?t be wrong) among them. ?I think it?s cool we?ve lasted this long,? says The Rev. ?People still come out to see us play after all these years and all the shows and tours. It?s amazing. I mean, I get to sing songs about cars I love, drinking and chasing girls. Beats the hell out of the alternative.?
