Another post from the BHT haunted vault.
But first, how about a round of Happy Birthday wishes to Graham Elvis of The Elvis Brothers; Mike Galassini from Magnaphonic, The Valley Downs, 92 Degrees, and The Band Calderisi; Mark Watson of the Mark Watson Band; and Pravda Records founder and musician (EXPO ’76, The Imperial Sound) Kenn Goodman.
Note: Amazing Heeby Jeebies, or The Jeebies as they’re also called, will pay tribute to the Los Angeles indie rock band The Gun Club as part of the Halloweekend event at Montrose Saloon in Chicago tomorrow night.
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 run away.
“The Mummy” suggests the legendary monster is more likely to sip martinis in a 1960s discotheque than trudge after anthropologists inside 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.
