Event information
Forming the Heathen Apostles in 2013, Mather Louth (Radio Noir) and rock n
roll veteran Chopper Franklin (The Cramps, Mau Maus, Nick Curran & the
Lowlifes) quickly uncovered a mutual appreciation for murder balladry,
Americana, and memento mori. The band's sonic landscape was further tilled with
the addition of Thomas Lorioux (Kings of Nuthin', Legendary Shack Shakers)
o n bass a n d Luis Mascaro o n violin.
Their 7 critically acclaimed albums, along with their many EPs and singles (their
release The Fall was named Best E P of 2018 by Folk n Rock magazine), capture
the essence of the Heathen Apostles modus operandi: Southern Gothic Americana
imagery surrounded by haunting, minor-chord melodies, musical influences
including Gothic Roots music, Bluegrass, Blues, and Gypsy Jazz, all deftly bound
together by the band's dark and sometimes brooding sense of a bygone age.
