This year marks 40 years since Jim Heath first picked up the moniker he’d eventually share with his soon-to-be psychobilly trio. Needless to say, Reverend Horton Heat‘s evolution is inevitable for a genre—especially psychedelic strains—and while the Heat contributes to it, there’s also plenty of representation for the classic, trippy surf-guitar jams that pioneered the genre.

It’s not a new, half-assed trick up the trio’s sleeve either, which may be why a 2023 rockabilly covers album Roots of the Rev (Volume One) turned out so well.

This weekend, the band returns to Jannus Live where it played in 2017. Oh and, of course “Wiggle Stick” was used in a “Beavis and Butthead” episode. Because of course it was.

Tickets to see Reverend Horton Heat play Jannus Live in St. Petersburg on Friday, May 30 are still available for $28.
