"I'M STILL STAND'N"

V1. - Trouble up ahead,
Look'n pretty bad. I'm still stand'n
Storm clouds are near,
It's gonna be fierce. I'm still stand'n
CH1 - When all hope is lost, And it seems like the end.
Salvation is near, With the stretch of your hand
Thought that I would break. But I'm still stand'n
V2 - showdown at dusk, I'll do what I must. I'm still stand'n
I hear the spitfire, Come'n down to the wire I'm still stand'n
CH2 - Though darkness may fall, And evil descend
I'll hold my ground, with all the strength that I have.
I thought that I was had. But I'm still stand'n
BRIDGE - Oh -- If I'm in for a fight,
All I can do is just hold on tight
Oh could be the end of the line,
Lord, I pray I make it out alive
V3 -Wind's kick'n in,
Tear'n through my skin I'm still stand'n
Hurricane is here,
I'm in fer it I fear/ I'm still stand'n
CH 3 - When the will to survive,
Is all that you have
In this cruel world,
That you'll never understand

Might lose or win But I'm still stand'n
Come'n at me again But I'm still stand'n
As weak as I am I'm still stand'n


Howdy!!

The Altar Billies are a trio from Orange County California fronted by guitarist/vocalist Michael W Stand. Rounding out the group are Johnny X on upright and Chuck Cummings on Drums. The group covers many classics hits, as well as newly penned originals. Altar Billies are one of many groups that are taking a "liking" to a new and rapidly growing alt country/rockabilly/ psychobilly trend (Punktry as they like to call it).

The group has been playing all over Southern California for about 6 years. They perform for a large variety of audiences both young and old. Altar billies have played at such venues as the Anaheim House of Blues, The observatory in Coasta Mesa, Orange Street Fair, Silverado Canyon concert series, as well as many clubs in the OC area. They have also opened several times for local OC icon Big Sandy, as well as for Lee Rocker of the Stray Cats..

The group has released several singles recorded live at NRG studios in Hollywood (recording studio for such acts as No Doubt and John Fogerty). Both "Hold on" and "You Can't Look Up, when you're Look'n Down" are available on itunes and on youtube via the "Altar Billies Youtube Channel."

Now with the release of their new full length project "Head'n Out West" in July of 2014, the band is ready and geared up to explore and expand into new musical territory. Each song on "Head'n out West" is a testament to the band's firm believe in God, family and country. There is more to this group than meets the eye, as the 14 songs (plus a surprise reprise) seeks to establish the Altar Billies as a viable and serious rockabilly/ Americana act. Indeed "Head'n out West" brings plenty to the table and more, in a "Spirit of lightening" that will surely keep you rock'n, dance'n, shake'n and move'n.

The Altar Billies are proud to carry the rockabilly torch and keep this musical heritage alive and relevant. They are 3 swell guys that work hard, play together really well and have a good time in the process!
