The Reverend Horton Heat @ Club Soda

The Reverend Horton Heat were at Club Soda late last month to promote the new album REV, and CJLO was there to join in on the fun! With almost three decades, eleven studio albums, and countless singles and music videos under his belt, Jim "Reverend Horton" Heath and his trio show no signs of slowing down. Accompanied by Nekromantix, The Brains, and special guest Deke Dickerson, The Rev and his psychobilly freakout gang were so hot that they melted the cold, hard January ice right off the roof. Let CJLO's very own Clifton Hanger from Brave New Jams take you on an ocular journey across time and space, back to that punkabilly-charged night, where a fine crowd of pompadour-slicked men and perfectly-coiffed ladies in polka-dot dresses rocked out to tunes like "Double Neck Boogie", "Smell of Gasoline", and "Zombie Dumb". --CJLO Magazine

Here's Jimbo Wallace slapping that bass

Jim "Reverend Horton" Heath and Deke Dickerson traded guitar solos

How about a little psychobilly freakout slam dance?

Jimbo Wallace had a little help from Nekromantix lead singer Kim Nekroman

Deke Dickerson did his best Henry Rollins impersonation

You would almost think you were seeing double on the Club Soda stage when The Reverend and Deke Dickerson jammed on the double neck

The closing rock out

And we bid you goodnight
