Webster’s defines “debauchery” as ... oh, hell, you know what it is, if not through personal experience then, like pornography, you know it when you see it.
This psychobilly-and-then-some band from Lansing, Mich., celebrates it onstage like few others, pulling in elements of gypsy music and punk rock to spice things up. Long-player titles like "Life of Sin" and "Gutterbilly Blues" should tip you off to the general aesthetic. But caveat emptor to fans of fellow travelers like Reverend Horton Heat or SCOTS, who may cringe at being reminded how thoroughly professional and stale their heroes’ acts are now by comparison.
