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.
