The High Rollers are Arizona's premier Neo-Rockabilly trio. Hailing from the home of the world famous Whiskey Row, The High Rollers have methodically built an infamous name for themselves in the last nine years. Although considered "Roots rock", make no mistake: This is not your daddy's classic rockabilly band. With influences ranging from traditional country, to psychobilly, to old school punk, The High Rollers can easily transform a dance floor into a mosh pit. Rock n' Roll Purgatory writes "The High Rollers play supercharged rockabilly with the fervor of punk-rock hoodlums."
Fronting the high-octane trio is Joe Booth on guitar and lead vocals. "Booth's scowling drawl conjures up bar fights and Marlboros, and his work on the Silvertone is packed with shitkicker-vicious intention." Next up is Bobby Joe on the upright bass. "Kolar is thunderous, doling out deft, upright lowend..." On the drums, Bad Andy Ulibarri is the band's backbone. Ulibarri's talents have been labeled as "Frenetic". Not to mention he keeps "200 dirty beats a minute" while twirling and flipping his sticks.
The High Rollers' musicianship is paired with stunning showmanship. "From the deepest crevices of the rockabilly landscape comes a band that can not only get people dancing on tables, but can drink tem under those same tables as well." They always include their crowd into a show. Antics include Booth and Kolar jumping up onto the bar to standing on the bass and drums, which makes for a show that is not only pleasing to the ears, but to the eyes as well. It's very rare to see The High Rollers just stand there, unless it's to catch their breath!!

Everything you publish to the CountryHome Forum will be published in my weekly Newsletter which has over 80,000 readers.
Send me CDs and DVDs for review and set up an artist interview with me. All reviews and interviews will be submitted to the magazines I'm writing for. More information for which magazines I'm writing can be found at http://www.MySpace.com/ChristianLamitschka
Upload artist videos to http://www.MyVideo.de and http://www.ClipFish.de . Both websites are like http://www.YouTube.com and uploading videos is free. The websites are completely in German.

This week's episode of The Hank in Chains Show features Alice in Chains' first new album in over 13 years, "Black Gives Way to Blue". Marred by addiction and the eventual tragic death of founding lead vocalist Layne Staley of 2002, only a few years ago no one ever assumed we'd ever hear from Alice in Chains again. However, after a few special reunion shows, guitarist Jerry Cantrell, bassist Mike Inez, and drummer Sean Kinney got the itch to bring the band back. They recruited former Comes with the Fall vocalist William DuVall to recreate Alice in Chains’ outstanding harmony vocals. People doubted the band, especially DuVall, but "Black Gives Way to Blue" has proven the critics wrong in a big way.
Other music this week from: The Drive-By Truckers, Warren Zevon, Hank Williams III, The Reverend Horton Heat, Eleven Hundred Springs, Gram Parsons, George Harrison, The Kinks, Stone Temple Pilots, The High Rollers, The Black Keys, and Jimi Hendrix.
