RECKLESS KELLY TO FILM & RECORD
LA ZONA ROSA SHOW
FOR SPECIAL LIVE ALBUM & DVD
“...one of
the most able torch carriers in recent years for cranking,
passionate twang-rock.” — The Tennessean
Austin,
Texas — Reckless Kelly, the alt-country-roots rock band
whose reputation for kick-ass live performances is selling
out venues, will record one of those shows at the end of the
month as part of a live album/DVD. The recording that will
capture the band's raw energy and high musicianship as it
wrecks the audience with its unique blend of vocals and
country rock is slated for release August 2006 on Sugar Hill
Records.
Doors open
at 8 p.m. Friday, March 31. (No opening act.) Reckless Kelly
rocks La Zona Rosa at 10 p.m. Tickets are $7 at the door day
of show. Information: 512.263.4146.
With its
five albums (including its last record, WICKED TWISTED
ROAD), Reckless Kelly has shown itself to be a band with two
sides. One is bound in tradition: harmony vocals only
brothers could pull off, folksy roots rock storytelling,
country fiddle and mandolin, ballads but upbeat. The other
side is forward-facing and rule-breaking, label-defying
alt-country with hot guitar. The band — brothers Willy (lead
vocals and guitar) and Cody Braun (harmony, mandolin,
fiddle), drummer extraordinaire Jay Nazz, guitarist David
Abeyta and bassist Jimmy McFeeley — aim to please as many
music lovers as it can, but in its own way.
The live
album/DVD will be directed by the award-winning Peter
Zavadil, who's helmed a bunch of killer country music
videos, including Dierks Bentley's “What Was I Thinking,” and won the CMT Flameworthy, and promises some hard-ass rock
'n' roll and some serious country passion. It will be
engineered and mixed in 5.1 surround sound by Grammy
Award-winning Elliot Scheiner, who is considered one of the
world's top mixers and leader in 5.1 surround sound
recording.
The Reckless
Kelly dynamo continues to sell out venues — from Antone's in
Austin to College Station's Texas Hall of Fame — and play to
SRO crowds like it did recently at Billy Bob's Texas in Fort
Worth.

“Metal
bands think they know how to kick butt. Poseurs. Rappers
think they're baaaaad. Wimps. You want to hear what real
musical danger sounds like? Listen to Reckless Kelly. These
illegitimate spiritual spawn of a drunken midnight mating
between Doc Boggs and Hank Williams understand the true
parameters of bacchanalian depravity.” — Vintage Guitar Magazine
