Long-running Austin/San Antonio, Texas-based cowpunk band The Hickoids will release their new mini-album The Out Of Towners on Saustex Records on CD/digital October 21st and vinyl on November 18th. The Out Of Towners is the final recording to feature late Austin guitarist Davy Jones (1954-2015), a punk legend who played with The Next, Bigfoot Chester, and The Dicks in addition to playing with The Hickoids.
The mini-album is a collection of covers written by Texas artists including Willie Nelson, Roky Erickson, Terry Allen, and Doug Sahm and was to have been recorded in Berlin during a tour break, when Jones was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer and could not make the trip. The collection was instead recorded with Cris Burns in Austin at the Tape Shed in fall 2014, and even though Davy was ill it showcases his unique guitar stylings and the band's rough but charming sound, and stands as a document to Texas underground music.
The Hickoids are set to embark on a three-week tour, and tour dates are listed below:
THURSDAY OCTOBER 13th HILL COUNTRY LIVE - WASHINGTON DC
