"The two-piece sound absolutely massive on each and every track. It’s a visceral, engaging piece of rock 'n' roll that's bursting with hooks and melody and begs for a huge stereo and a volume knob with 11 on it." - Chartattack.com

Born of hinterland depression, a mutual love of texas hold'em and
audiophile discontent, Whitey came to pass in 1999. The indie-rock approach
of earlier efforts were quickly drowned out by the stereophonic roar of the
bass guitar and the increasingly pugelistic trap stylings of GRAVY: THE
CARDIAC KID. He was once heard to say "I don't play the drums, I hit the
drums." And crush those drums he did (and still does).
The slow songs were being SHITCANNED for faster ones which were in-turn
not fast enough so those were SHITCANNED for even faster ones. It was pure,
feral rock and roll complete with the right mix of swagger, humour, and arm
windmilling. Fueled by vinyl loyalist sensibilities, the new sound pulled
from diverse influences, from the garage soul of The Pretty Things and The
Sonics to the arena rock pomp of Thin Lizzy, early AC-DC and Motorhead.
Obscure 60?s R&B screamers, 77 punk and English metal, all were absorbed
into the mix that would produce Whitey Houston's particular brand of
frenzied rock n roll.
After four years of relative sloth and prior musical commitments taking
precedence, they came out swinging in '04. A renewed commitment to touring
saw the addition of the maraca weilding Dancin' Kimballs, adding a touch of
retro go-go camp to the live set. Excelsior!
The '05 will see the debut of Whitey's bone crushing full length album released May 31 on Rectangle/Indiestructable Records. Get a copy of the LP via Reluctant Recordings (on gold or GRAVY colored vinyl, natch) at finer retailers everywhere.

Thanks for the cancellation notice - saves me a trip. But c'mon, the roads aren't that bad. If you squint at that picture you can make out something that vaguely resembles a highway. Try again in the spring, the roads should be better. Wait a second...
