Another rerun from the BHT haunted vault.
You’d expect a band named Amazing Heeby Jeebies to throw a few chills your way, and the Chicago-based quintet came through on its 2018 Bad Feeling album. Led by vocalist Ary Jeeby and propelled by guitarists Bob Hyatt and Tom “Boss X” Klein, Amazing Heeby Jeebies combine garage rock and rockabilly while spinning tales of werewolves, mummies, and cannibals. They don’t always aim for the dark side, but when they do, listeners are more likely to dance than cringe.
In fact, “The Mummy” suggests the legendary monster prefers sipping martinis in a 1960s discotheque to trudging after anthropologists in pyramids. Ary Jeebie belts out quick rhymes like “King Tut’s got nothing on this guy/When he left, Cleopatra cried.” This mummy’s a recording artist with a least one album under his bandages and hosts a television show. With bassist Earl “Wolfdaddy” Carter and drummer Jerry King adding to the mayhem, “The Mummy” proves to be a rollicking Halloween treat.
The Amazing Heeby Jeebies will be performing a tribute to The New York Dolls at Cally’s on October 30. The band’s Facebook post promises, “a night of Halloween horror, glam, punk, psychotic inferno fire dancing and old films.” Cally’s is located at 1627 W. Howard on Chicago’s far north side.
