about
Roky Moon and BOLT! is Roky Moon – Vocals, Guitar Jeoaf Johnson – Drums Aaron Echegaray – Lead Guitar Cassie Hargrove – Piano, Vocals, Accordion Arthur Moreno - Saxophone Pete Tijerina – Bass Enough about us, what does the press think about us? Think of Tommy meets Rocky Horror Picture Show, and you’ve got an idea of what it sounds like. Big, bold classic-rock guitar and narrative lyrics about the “Man Who Couldn’t Save the World.” Something to hold a lighter up to, if you’re into that kind of thing. ~ J. Hart, Space City Rock When Johnson jump-starts the band with his slow gallop and then Moon starts preaching, you don’t move. Moon plays to the entire room, reaching for the non-plussed dude nursing a beer in the very back right up to the sloshed devotees down front hanging on every line. The only thing missing live is a brass section, but we wouldn’t be surprised if that’s coming by the end of the year. Saturday night the band played their record-release show upstairs at the Mink, in the very spot they have been rehearsing for months now. Nine bands opened, upstairs and down. The venue was packed in the front room and the backroom. Roky shirts were everywhere. Girls’ purses had the new album peeking out the side, next to their cigarettes and make-up. The alleyway and patio around the Backroom was choked with smokers and drinkers, all laughs and happiness. ~ Craig Hlavaty, Houston Press User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; addition
