Fri 30th Not The Same Old Blues Crap and The Luminaire present SCOTT H. BIRAM + Honkeyfinger
Doors 7.30 Not The Same Old blues Crap is delighted to welcome back Austin’s self-proclaimed “Dirty Old One Man Band” AKA Scott H Biram. Scoot H Biram successfully and sometimes even violently, lashes together blues, hillbilly, and country precariously to raucous punk and godless metal. Biram isn’t a dour singer-songwriters sitting on a stool strumming songs about girls with big eyes and the romance of dusty, deserted highways. HELL NO!! His singing, yodeling, growling, leering and brash preachin' and hollerin' are accompanied by sloppy riffs and licks from his ‘59 Gibson and a pounding back beat brought forth by his amplified left foot. Years of touring non-stop have honed Biram’s assault to a fine edge--he's performed in 46 US states and shared bills with Hank Williams III, The Black Crowes, Th’ Legendary Shackshakers, Reverend Horton Heat, Kris Kristopherson, Hasil Adkins, T-Model Ford, Cedel Davis, and The Gourds. In January 2004, Biram accompanied Hank Williams III on a two-month national tour. No sir, nothing will get in the Devil’s way... In May of 2003, one month after being hit head-on by an 18-wheeler at 75 MPH, Biram took the stage at The Continental Club in Austin, in a wheel chair, I.V. still dangling from his arm. With two broken legs, a broken foot, a broken arm and one less foot of his lower intestine, the Devil returned to his throne to resume his work. Now it’s the UK’s turn to witness the “Wrath of Biram”; his wide-eyed throw downs in the First Church of Ultimate Fanaticism have led the love children of John Lee and Lemmy to the Promised Land. It’s been said that rock and roll came from the blues on the right hand and country on the left; Scott H. Biram is the middle finger on both. Main support Honkeyfinger is a one man band who plays fuzz tone pedal steel over industrial sized breakbeats and various sources of electric interference. He sounds like Sneaky Pete from The Flying Burrito Brothers jamming Paul's Boutique with The Stooges! |
