Nawgahyde are the self-described "Kings of Mustache Rock." The band was formed in late 1972 by the Texas brothers Dallas, Houston & Fort Worth along with their cousin Skeeter. After a few rehearsals the band noticed that “somethin' sounded funny." It was soon discovered the band had no bass player & at that moment step-brother Florida Lee was added to the line up. It was around this same time that the band trademarked the phrase "I'll Kick Your Ass™".
In the summer of 1977 the band was on the cusp of “makin’ it big” when tragedy struck. At a fourth of July barbecue, Fort Worth, in an effort to impress his brothers, tried an outlandish practical joke that went horribly wrong. Houston recalls, “All I remember is Fort Worth standing there with a can of beer in one hand and a roman candle in the other. I'll never forget his last words…’Hey, watch this!’”
Determined to keep rolling, the band soon added guitarist Nacho, who they found standing outside of a local hardware store looking for employment. Incidentally, this store was later franchised and eventually became part of the chain known as Home Depot.
The rest is misery.....
