Born of the voices of past lives and baptized in the dust bowl dirt, the dark roots music of the HEATHEN APOSTLES harkens back to a bygone chapter of American history while firmly keeping one foot planted in the present-day city of Los Angeles. Crossing paths at a gathering one Indian summer evening, femme fatale bellower Mather Louth (Radio Noir) and rock n roll veteran Chopper Franklin (The Cramps, Nick Curran & the Lowlifes) quickly uncovered a mutual appreciation for murder balladry, Americana, and memento mori. It was not long before a collaboration that sought to marry these interests in a sonic landscape, THE HEATHEN APOSTLES, surfaced. The landscape was further tilled with the addition of Thomas Lorioux (The Kings of Nuthin') on bass, Stevyn Grey (Christian Death, 45 Grave) on drums, and Luis Mascaro on fiddle. "If there is such a thing in the current fringe roots genre as a supergroup, it would certainly be the Los Angeles-based dark roots and alt-country band Heathen Apostles" James G. Carlson THE EXAMINER The constant output of songs and videos capture the essence of the Heathen Apostles modus operandi: Southern gothic imagery surrounded by haunting, minor-chord melodies, musical influences including Gothic, Bluegrass, Blues, and Gypsy Jazz, all deftly bound together by the band's dark and sometimes brooding sense of a bygone age.
