Reverend Horton Heat Spends Time in the Garden

Reverend Horton Heat Spends Time in the Garden: The good Reverend Horton Heat plays two nights at the awesome Garden Amp in Garden Grove one of the best places to see a punk show in SoCal (because it's outdoor). The Delta Bombers and 40 Acre Mule also play.

One thing that is sinking in now, is that I enjoy playing gigs now more than I did when I was younger, Heath told this writer in 2015. For one thing, there's a lot less stress involved. There are instances where, when I was young, every gig mattered so much. Looking back, I was totally misguided. The thing now is that I like the camaraderie with the guys but the traveling I'm done. I don't like it, but it's a necessary evil. So I hate the traveling more than ever, but I like playing music more than ever. It's all good. I've had real jobs in my life, and this is definitely not a real job.

He's never lost his passion for performing live.

I hear this from artists that are way bigger than Reverend Horton Heat, Heath said. They go and tour, and make a lot more money, but it's not really about that. It's about keeping it together. If they say, 'I've got enough money, I'm not going to play for a year and a half,' then all of a sudden, their best friends are out of a job for a year and a half. It's an entity.

Reverend Horton Heat Spends Time in the Garden: The event takes place at 5:30 p.m. on Friday, April 8 and Saturday, April 9 at the Garden Amp.
