If anyone had to write a bucket list of essential things to do while living in OC (between eating a milky bun at Afters Ice Cream and getting sloshed on Mai Tai’s at Don the Beachcomber’s) it would have to include seeing the Reverend Horton Heat in concert, because— simply put— Jim Heath and his band of Texan rockabilly misfits have been sermonizing their country-punkabilly music here for years on a steady basis. But we’re not complaining, on the contrary; the Reverend Horton Heat consistently fire up whatever crowd they’re performing for with an electric vigor unseen in plenty of bands today, chalked up to Heath’s old school showmanship and Jimbo Wallace’s bass-in-your-face rabble rousery. They’ll supply the bolo ties and flame-decorated guitars at tonight’s show at the Coach House, so get ready for some rock n’ roll salvation.
