Reverend Horton Heat

The Reverend Horton Heat is Jim Heath's psychobilly trio, hailing from Dallas, Texas, with Heath considered the godfather of modern rockabilly and psychobilly. They are undoubtedly one of the most popular bands in the genre, helping to popularize it after The Cramps first brought it to the fore. Their wild showmanship, wicked sense of humor and tales of debauchery make for exciting and entertaining performances that have built a loyal and enthusiastic fan base. Formed in 1985, the group became an underground hit through Sub Pop releases before moving to major labels and achieving significant chart success. Jim Heath, having worked as a sound engineer around Dallas and Austin, was inspired by the punk and roots rock scene to form the band. They continue to tour tirelessly across the United States, playing eccentric sets that showcase the instrumental diversity of their music.
