Rev Up

While fans of the Reverend Horton Heat who have subscribed to Yep Roc’s blog or added themselves to his mailing list will know this, some will not.

The RHH has been around for 25 years. For a quarter of a century he’s been rocking out to clubs, bars, weddings, festivals, maybe even an arena or two and the fans have been grateful. He is known the world over as a top performer and an amazing guitar player.

And a quarter of a century is a long time. Depending on how you look at, I mean. Looking at age, perhaps 25 years doesn’t seem like that much (probably depending on if you’re over or under the age of 30) but as far as having the same job, 25 years is a long time. That amount of time takes you out of the “job” world and puts you squarely in the “career” world and the Rev has embraced it, never slowing down and even adding to his plate with side projects and appearances on commercials and TV shows.

The Rev is a busy guy.

And to celebrate 25 years of ear bleeding volumes and sheer rockitosis (that’s a technical term) that is the Reverend Horton Heat they will be recording and releasing a new live DVD and I am STOKED.

The Rev’s last DVD, Live and in Color, was packed front to back with great songs, solid performances and a quality of film and sound that makes you feel like you were at the show.

For those who haven’t check it out, you should. It’s an amazing display of guitar prowess and a great example of good showmanship.

I’ll be eagerly awaiting this new DVD and highly recommend you watch Live and in Color to see what I mean. I bet you’ll be eagerly awaiting the new DVD too.
