| The Cheatin’ Hearts: General Info
|
| Member Since | 5/25/2006 | | Band Website | churchonthursday.com | | Band Members | Robbo Deville (Lead Guitar): Robbo’s background as a musician began in the heyday of the burgeoning punk rock scene in Los Angeles during the early 1980’s. He has been a member of such pivotal bands as The Dull and Christian Death, and worked with legendary producer Geza X. Over a decade ago he began his foray into American Roots music (of which he is a passionate guitar scholar), and incorporates such seemingly disparate styles as surf, rockabilly, garage, and (of course) country into his unique style of playing.
Tressa (Stand Up Bass/Vocals): Straight outta Austin, Texas, and hotter than a two dollar pistol, Tressa has paid her dues playin’ with the likes of Izzy Cox, Robert Allan Caldwell, and The Secondhand Souls.
A pure country pedigree and a true ramblin’ woman, Tressa’s lived in California, Oregon, and Texas. Watch your heart, boys!
Felix (Rhythm Guitar and Lead Vocals): Raised on the records of Jimmie Rodgers, Bob Wills, Merle Haggard, and Hank Williams, Felix played and toured in punk rock bands for fifteen years before returning to his roots. Wanting to play pure honky tonk, without the kitsch associated with so many of today’s retro wannabes, Felix has cut his teeth in honky tonks, bars, and Moose lodges stretching from Kentucky and Tennessee to California and Oregon.

 Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Just brown
The Cheatin’ Hearts play a firebrand style of country music hearkening back to honky tonk troubadours and rabble-rousers such as Ernest Tubb, Hank Williams, Lefty Frizzell, Merle Haggard, and The Maddox Brothers and Rose, and akin to current traditionalists including Hank Williams III, Dale Watson, and Wayne Hancock.
In just over a year the band has shared the stage with some of the hottest performers on the national touring circuit; including Deke Dickerson, The Chop Tops, Miss Derringer, Big John Bates and the Voodoo Dollz, Hellbound Glory, and The Boss Martians.
Don’t expect the slick, commercial formula that dominates much of the airwaves currently, The Cheatin’ Hearts’ sound echoes an earlier era of standup bass, Gibson and Gretsch guitars, and world-weary vocals; when country music was still “three chords and the truth”.
The band has released two demos, recorded live in the studio using vintage analog equipment. Currently the band is in the process of recording their first full-length CD, Living 90 Proof; a collection of original compositions centering on heartbreak and hard livin’.
