Lords of the Highway at Poetry Lounge

Lords of the Highway from Cleveland, Ohio have been steering a hellbound rig through the underground scene since 1992. The Lords have hit all the stops along the highway, from New York's famous CBGB's to lesser known honky tonk dives in the hills of West Virginia. They've also played Bike Week in Daytona, Florida, and are a fixture at the notorious Heavy Rebel Weekender in North Carolina, playing their patented blend of hillbilly punk rock with a fresh, nutritious flavor that always fully satisfies without being all smug and stuck-up about it. They have shared the stage with the likes of Reverend Horton Heat, Southern Culture on the Skids, Hank III, Dick Dale, Hasil Adkins, El Vez (the Mexican Elvis!), Sonny Burgess, Ray Condo, Wesley Willis, Lee Rocker, Mad Sin, Nekromantix, U.S. Bombs, Legendary Shackshakers, and scores of others. The lineup includes Jimbo beatin' down the upright, Joey Hissem hittin' on the drums, and Dennis A. Bell using his healing touch on the Gretsch guitar. The Lords of the Highway are a life-affirming treat recommended by 4 out of 5 rural dentists and diesel mechanics. Please visit http://www.myspace.com/lordsofthehighway
