Strung Like A Horse

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 11
Doors: 7pm | Show: 8pm

So far, this the only description that nearly fits Strung Like A Horse. Their acoustic driven sound fires people off to the darker areas of this strange universe. These unique individuals and their music is like a hellbender found under a rock; not hard to find, but damn hard to get a grasp on.

Built in a garage two years ago, these fellas resemble a psychobilly diesel pick-up. There's BJ Hitower's manic bass work providing the suspension of the band; bouncing, at times weird, but always reliable. Ben Crawford and his "s-s-s-s-string drum". Slothimus Prime and Bertha, his chairdrumset, ping-ding-crack-and-rumble like a pieced together yet functional engine. "Spooky Chicklets" exists as an otherwordly force surrounding the truck; his violin sings the sounds of night-woods on the sides of the highway. Clay Maselle with his guitar in the shotgun steers the band into the depths of the wood with lyrics to narrate the adventure.

To bring it down to a point, these junkyard dogs bring "honest, playful, head-bangingly interactive fun" to any venue their rocket crashes.
