The Sideshow Tramps exist for those who wish that the Sex Pistols, AC/DC and Led Zepplin had formed a band together with Bob Dylan and Tom Waits. They hit their audiences with a powerful high-energy show that earned them “best stage act” from the Houston Press Music Awards.
“I used to come out and watch them play at Helios all the time. I have never seen anything like it.”
Hayes Carll, fan of the band
“Both their album and live shows find folk styles from everywhere, from New Orleans, to west Virginia, to Minsk… one of those dissolute trips to the gypsy sin palaces.”
John Nova Lomax music editor of the Houston Press
“This band makes people drink, dance and f*#k!”
Hank Schyma (Southern Backtones)
