Full Band 4pc
“Brash and stimulating, their songs conjure tales of addiction, crime, and desperation from the rural towns of the Texan plains.“ —Texas Monthly
BIOGRAPHY
Hailing from the great desolate southern plains of Texas, Rattlesnake Milk make the kind of strange, disorderly, mutinous music that doesn’t benefit from being dissected and compartmentalised. It’s so deeply of this world it sounds completely otherworldly when you compare it to anything else happening in country music today. The roots of the band are just as mysterious as the music they make. A mythology built on little whispers coming from the darkest corners of country music – a self-released cassette called Snake Rattle and Roll from way back in 2013 that took the eerie rockabilly of 50s teen idol Ricky Nelson and mixed it with the chaotic cowboy gothic of The Birthday Party, followed by a self-titled full-length album eight years later – but very little else aside. As legend has it, they were formed around 10 years ago in Lubbock, Texas, and began as a product of a handful of home recordings captured by singer Lou Lewis while farming cotton for a family friend in the Texas panhandle. Lewis found inspiration in the empty flatland landscapes of his home and the vintage airwaves of KDAV 1590AM, and recorded eight demos in his childhood bedroom. The demos paid homage to his favourite dust bowl migrant songs and ghostly musical gems from the 50s and 60s.
