===>I've seen Southern Culture on the Skids twice--their interaction
with the crowd (including their willingness to speak with fans both
before and after their shows) is incredible. The first time I saw them
was at The Crowbar in State College, PA. I can only describe the
presence of the group as Hee Haw colliding head-on with The Cramps. The
second time I saw them was at the Johnstown Folk Festival, where they
played two shows.
I've seen the Reverend Horton Heat three or four times.
The first time was back in 1992 (February 29--Leap Day)
in Pittsburgh. They opened for The Cramps. Watching
The Rev, I felt as though I was transported via a timewarp
back to the 1950s. I was hooked instantly. As much as
I hate to say it, they definitely upstaged my beloved
Cramps, although their show was no slouch-event either.
Lux gave a typically downright disgraceful performance,
and Ivy was...mmmmmmmUMPH! Man, she's about 50 years old
now, but she's hotter than most ladies half her age.
Anyway, The Rev and SCOTS are touring together this year.
Dang it, though--they're not hitting State College;
Pittsburgh is the closest their coming to Altoona, but
that's a two-hour drive. (Admittedly, I'm going to see
Iron Maiden a week from tomorrow in Pittsburgh.... Yeah,
I like classic heavy metal, too...but I just can't get
into the new metal--it's like it's got all the aggression
but none of the passion, if you know what I mean; the new
stuff is too mean-spirited, whereas groups like Iron Maiden and, say,
Blue Oyster Cult, seem more down-to-earth.)
For those who haven't heard the Rev, they're pretty much a rockabilly
band, but they have some really cool surf tunes, most notably
"Marijuana" from their first album. SCOTS does some surf tunes, too.
Later!
Vincent
