- Band of Heathens
The Band of Heathens are an Americana band from
Austin, Texas .The three principal songwriters - Colin Brooks, Ed Jurdi and Gordy Quist shared the bill at
Momo's , an Austin club. Originally, each singer/songwriter performed his own set, however they eventually started sharing the stage, and collaborating together with bassist Seth Whitney. The Wednesday night series was billed as "The Good Time Supper Club". A misprint in a local paper billed the act as "The Heathens." In 2007, drummer John Chipman joined the band.Discography
The first two recordings were live - a live album at Momo's was recorded in 2006, and in 2007, "Live at Antone's" with a DVD/CD set was completed. In May 2008, the band released its first studio production titled "The Band of Heathens", produced by
Ray Wylie Hubbard , which charted at #1 on the Americana Charts and the EuroAmericana charts.
