- 18+ Show - Psychobilly at its FINEST – Join us for an evening with Reverend Horton Heat, who joined part of a wave of artists that took the rockabilly twang sound and fused it with the reckless abandon of punk rock. Horton Heat’s high-energy style, which utilizes the anthemic, repeated choruses of punk to drive home their message, has drawn support from across the country. They no longer have to stuff themselves and their gear in a tiny Econoline van, but they still bring the same thirsty passion to each show that they did when they were first starting out. Join us at The Melting Point to hear a legendary act that was even asked to make a 20th Century Masters Album (part of The Millennium Collection) Undeniably, The Reverend Horton Heat, aka Jim Heath, is the biggest, baddest, grittiest, greasiest, greatest rocker that ever piled his hair up and pounded the drinks down. Without question, for all of his outlandish antics, blistering stage performances and legendary musical prowess, the one thing The Rev always gets asked about is the story behind his unusual and rather clerical moniker. "Well, there used to be this guy who ran this place in Deep Ellum, Texas who used to call me Horton- my last name is Heath," says The Rev. "Anyway, this guy hired me and right before the show he goes, 'Your stage name should be Reverend Horton Heat! Your music is like gospel' and I thought it was pretty ridiculous. So I'm up there playing and after the first few songs, people are saying, 'Yeah, Reverend!' What's really funny is that this guy gave up the bar business, and actually became a preacher! Now he comes to our shows and says, 'Jim, you really should drop this whole Reverend thing.'" more >>>
