Live Music: Reverend Horton Heat

Texas legend Horton Heat offers up a high-octane, sweat-soaked sermon of pure psychobilly energy that hits like a nitrous-fueled hot rod.

Frontman Jim Heath shreds lightning-fast riffs on his hollow-body Gretsch guitar while Jimbo Wallace slaps his upright double bass with thunderous speed.

The band’s legendary showmanship peaks during anthems like “Psychobilly Freakout,” when Heath fearlessly climbs on top of Wallace’s bass to crush a blazing solo mid-song.

Seamlessly blending a wildly energetic mosh pit with old-school swing dancing, the crowd roars along to favorites like “Bales of Cocaine” and hard-hitting covers. Decades of witty band banter and relentless stage presence prove exactly why this trio remains an unmatched live powerhouse.
