Loaded guns, space heaters, and big skies. Welcome to the lethal
littered landscape of Jim Heath’s imagination. True to his high
evangelical calling, Jim is a Revelator, both revealing &
reinterpreting the country-blues-rock roots of American music. He’s
a time-travelling space-cowboy on a endless interstellar musical tour,
and we are all the richer & “psychobillier” for getting to tag
along.
Seeing REVEREND HORTON HEAT live is a transformative experience.
Flames come off the guitars. Heat singes your skin. There’s nothing
like the primal tribal rock & roll transfiguration of a Reverend
Horton Heat show. Jim becomes 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 Exploitation picture from the 1950′s
that’s currently taking place in the future. Listening to the
REVEREND HORTON HEAT is tantamount to injecting pure musical nitrous
into the hot-rod engine of your heart. The Reverend’s commandants
are simple.
ROCK HARD, DRIVE FAST, DIE TRUE.
And no band on this, or any other, planet rocks harder, drives faster,
or lives truer than the Reverend Horton Heat. These “itinerant
preachers” actually practice what they preach. They live their lives
by the Gospel of Rock & Roll.
From the High-Octane Spaghetti-Western Wall of Sound in “Big Sky”
— to the dark driving frenetic paranoia of “400 Bucks” – to
the brain-melting Western Psychedelic Garage purity of “Psychobilly
Freakout” — The Rev’s music is the perfect soundtrack to the
Drive-In Movie of your life.
Jim Heath & Jimbo Wallace have chewed up more road than the Google
Maps drivers. For twenty-five Psychobilly years, they have blazed an
indelible, unforgettable, and meteoric trail across the globe with
their unique blend of musical virtuosity, legendary showmanship, and
mythic imagery.
“Okay it’s time for me to put this loaded gun down, jump in my
Five-Oh Ford, and nurture my pig on the outskirts of Houston. I’ll
be bringing my love whip. See y’all later.” - Carty Talkington
Writer/Director
Rev your engines and catch the sermon on the road as it’s preached
by everybody’s favorite Reverend. Don’t forget to keep an eye out
for the 11th studio album from REVEREND HORTON HEAT, boldly titled
Rev, due out January 21st.

The Dusty 45s have inspired and fired up crowds for over two decades
to the delight of fans and critics alike. With their signature style
and unique sound, the band is a consistently powerful and energetic
player in the Americana field.
Led by charismatic singer/songwriter, guitarist and trumpeter, Billy
Joe Huels, the raucous band tears through Huels’ original songs that
draw inspiration from the roots of Rock, Rhythm and Blues, Honkytonk
and Jazz. Current members of The Dusty 45s also include, Jerry
Battista (lead guitar), Robin Cady (upright bass), Kohen Burrill
(drums), and William Stover (piano). Huels and his outfit have
steadily built their fan base since 1997. The Dusty 45s have toured
extensively and they backed Rock and Roll hall of famer, Wanda Jackson
multiple times. A highlight with Jackson was when they joined her
opening for Adele's "21" tour in 2011.
The Dusty 45s have also shared the stage with many other musical
greats including, Lyle Lovett, Lemmy Kilmister, John Prine, Big Bad
Voodoo Daddy, Lucinda Williams, Leann Rhymes, Michael Franti &
Spearhead, Brandi Carlisle and the Cherry Poppin’ Daddies.
The Dusty 45s have released 7 recordings. The 2014 album, “Live and
On Fire”, showcases the best of their bold and brassy sound recorded
live in Seattle WA. Huels is currently working on a new recording, due
out in 2018.

BLOODSHOT BILL started in his hometown of Montreal around 1998, with
just a guitar and a stomp board. Since then, he's had over 30 releases
throughout Europe and North America. Touring constantly, he has
collaborated with such acts as THE 5.6.7.8.'s, JON SPENCER, KING KHAN,
beat poet CHARLES PLYMELL, MARK SULTAN, DEKE DICKERSON, and SHANNON
SHAW. Plays well with others but is known mostly for his One Man Band
act. Artist JOE COLEMAN once called him "a cross betwen Jimmie Rodgers
& Popeye", and director JOHN WATERS says he's "like Roy Orbison with a
head wound". He's been in movies too, usually playing himself. Has won
FME's Coup De Coeur in 2007, and has more recently been a 3x-nominee
for an AMERIPOLITAN award.
