I attended a concert last week, The Reverend Horton Heat. This concert always promises to be a raucous time. On this occasion, I decided to bring my 18 year old nephew and his 17 year old buddy. The "cool aunt" thing to do, right? Let me start by saying that the music of Reverend Horton Heat is not tame, nor is it feminine in its aural qualities, so I figured the teens would have a great time. The music is a mixture of rockabilly, country, and a dash of punk done in the way only a Texan band can. Psychobilly, very cool, no? No. The boys were falling asleep. There were two opening acts The Von Ehrics and The Down Unders. These bands complemented the psychobilly sound very well. So much for my "cool aunt" gesture, the teens were bored out of their minds. Not sure where I went wrong in influencing/corrupting these young minds. Oh well, the important thing here is that I had a great time. That's all that really matters anyway.
