New Label, Album, Tour Dates For Reverend Horton Heat
print
emailThe Reverend Horton Heat has assembled a typically intense touring schedule for early 2000 that includes stops in well over 50 cities by April. The psychobilly band's sixth album--its first for Orange County, Calif.-based Time Bomb Recordings--is due on March 21, according to the label.
The Texas-based band, whose raucous sound amalgamates rockabilly, punk, rock, surf, blues, swing and country, is in the middle of a series of shows in its home state. From there, the band will trek through the southeastern U.S. before traveling up the East Coast in late February and early March. The tour will head west in April.
The manic trio features frontman and guitarist Jim Heath--a.k.a. The Reverend Horton Heat--and the rhythm section of longtime stand-up bassist Jimbo Wallace and drummer Scott Churilla, who has been with the band since the 1996 album ''It's Martini Time.''
Time Bomb Recordings snapped up The Reverend Horton Heat last year, shortly after the band split with Interscope Records in the wake of massive restructuring at that label. The new album, titled "Spend a Night in the Box," was recorded near Austin, Texas at Willie Nelson's Pedernales Studios, and was produced by Butthole Surfers guitarist Paul Leary. Leary is the second member of the Butthole Surfers to produce for the Reverend: frontman Gibby Haynes produced the 1993 album "The Full Custom Gospel sounds of The Reverend Horton Heat."
Time Bomb is planning to launch the new album with an event at the SXSW convention in Austin.
