Angels and Demons – Review of Selestat, France Show

Between Angels and Demons

(As the  Heathen Apostles 2019 European tour finishes the first 1/3 of the journey, photos and reviews will begin to be posted here. This report and photos of their June 19th show at Bar Le Tigre in Selestat, France were done by Sebastien Riotto.)

It was not the deep south of the United States but a warm Alsatian Wednesday night in Selestat, France. At the Bar Le Tigre, the temple of rock ‘n roll, the stars and stripes were about to be released. The atmosphere was laid, it smelled like the plains of the west. Then came the time of black suits and Stetsons.
From Los Angeles, the Heathen Apostles swing between angels and demons. Their musical style is their own, assembling dark country and old Irish songs, a balance between Nick Cave and Howlin’ Wolf. The beautiful redhead Mather Louth leaves one bewitched by her voice, and the guitar of Chopper Franklin takes the soul into this musical universe that looks like no other. The initiates who responded to the call of the music promoters Cheeky Cherry have not been left with this trip into a dark pan of the American spirit.
