Amazing show! I have seen them play at the House of Blues four times now.
The Reverend Horton Heat is an acquired taste that I have developed a liking to! They put on such an awesome live show that I have returned to see them 4 times!! It is such a high energy, fun time. I couldn't wipe the grin off my face the entire show! I actually got to stand right in front of the Reverend himself during the entire set and got to meet the whole band backstage after the show!! I have seen him in the past and been impressed and that was years ago, and this show did not disappoint! I talked a few friends into giving their show a chance and I have converted new followers just by allowing them to experience them live!! I will say I am not so much in love with their music itself as how it is performed. I will continue to see them any time they come around that I am physically able!!
The Rev played non-stop for about 2 hours and rocked the house. Jimbo, the bass player, even stayed after to sign autographs and chat with fans. These guys put on one heck of a show and everyone who's a rockabilly fan should get out and see them whenever they get a chance!
A set full of energy and great guitar playing. The bassist was fun to watch, but the Reverend was the man! I had heard this was a great show to see, but was not familiar with the music. I was not disappointed in any way and hated for the show to end. I highly recommend seeing Reverend Horton Heat and can't wait to see him again.
I have never been let down by The Reverend! Since I first stumbled on him 10 some years ago, he has always provided a benchmark show! Very eclectic, VERY high energy, and just a lot of fun! In addition, The Reverend does a great job of booking high quality acts for his lead in. With out fail, I always end up buying some CDs of bands I never heard of, but that are new found fun!
The Rev. Horton Heat concert was good ol' fashioned fun ... plain and simple. One of the tightest sounding live bands I've heard in a long time. High energy, GREAT music, all around fun atmosphere. There were even a few kids there rockin' out with their folks. Rockabilly at it's finest. I went with two people who had never heard the Rev. Needless to say, they're fans now!
I had a wonderful time at the RHH concert. Rocked out! Cant wait to see him again.
It was my first time seeing the Rev, and I was blown away. A dear friend just recently turned me on to the Pchyo-billy genre and I am hooked. A great mix of their older stuff, which I have become familiar with, and songs from their new CD which I now have a copy of and have put on my IPod. A truely entertaining evening that I would love to see again.
We went to see "the Rev" Saturday night in Seattle. The Showbox was a unique, fun venue. The opening act, Nekromantics, were great. Their lead was fun to watch, and the awesome chick drummer was rocking smokin' hot! When RHH got onto the stage, the sound booth turned up the volume, and the sound became so loud that the words were muffled and you couldn't understand most of the lyrics. Quite disappointing, actually. Buy the CD and enjoy it on your own - it will be a better experience.
An amazing performance of guitar wizardry and thumping upright slap bass; The Rev always delivers his high-octane infused rockabilly to your ears with a no nonsense and effortless attitude. Shameless song titles like "Bales of Cocaine" and the furious "Psychobilly Freakout" get the crowd riled up for his nearly 3 hour long set with little break between save for the 3 or 5 minutes between encores. Backing the tour are Nekromantix; one of the best psychobilly outfits to be on the scene. A lead singer (Kim Nekroman) who plays a coffin-shaped upright bass (which he also built) like a bat out of hell! Who can say no? This is also an opportunity to witness the new lineup to the band, a very tight guitar and one of the most precise female drummers to come onto the scene which has not been an altogether male dominated arena, but still a rarity to see on the skins.
GREAT SHOW. GRAET CROWD. THE GUYS PLAYED LOTS OF OLD SONGS AS WELL AS LOTS OF GREAT NEW ONES.
In the 20 years I've been seeing this band, I have never failed to be astounded at their remarkable showmanship and genuine thrill at giving the audience every cent's worth of their ticket. The new songs rocked, and I look forward to the release of the new album this September and the tour opening for MOTORHEAD this Fall. This band just gets better with age.
They put on a great show. The venue was perfect for this band.
The band just played on and on and on and on and on and on and on...... Was amazing! I love a good metal guitar player. However, they could all learn a ton from the Reverand Horton Heat! Bass player and drummer, SOLID! AMAZING SHOW!!!!!! Was the first time I ever saw them. Got 4 hours of sleep that night, was at work at 0715... Very worth it.
The show was great as usual! The Wonder ballroom rocked.
As always pure and simple kick ass rock and roll. Great venue that the band seemed to enjoy. I know they can be a little picky when it comes to venues, but they should be.
I have never been to the venue, it was great and the Heat rocked as usual!
