I have extolled the virtues of the good Reverend Horton Heat on several occasions. His shows are like revivals...and once you've been saved, you're addicted.
I just happened to check out his site tonight, and as fate would have it, he's currently on tour in the US--and will be here in Philadelphia this coming Friday.
Holy fucking shit...I have never hit ticketmaster so fast in my life...well, except for maybe when DM went on tour in '98. But the total time between seeing the date on his site, looking at the venue's site, and buying the tix on TicketMassa was maybe 5 minutes.
Tour dates are
here. If he's coming to or near your town, and you dig rockabilly, do yourself a favor and go see him play.
(UT, you should go with Rho and I. Friday at the Troc--$24. Warch, you just missed him up there--he was there Wednesday. Blowmee, he's playing Stubbs 10/16.)
