About Me

Howdy Cowboys and Cowgirls! What's cookin? Ready for a little shameless self-promotion? If so, read on... We are the Heathens: a ragtag group of misfits, ruffians, outlaws, and mamas boys. When we are not playing music, you will most likely find us either sharpening our knives, ransacking small villages, or making daisy chains. Above are four songs from our debut album, "Big White House." They are all available for download. A gift from your favorite band of outlaws! Recorded by Rob Mcgregor (Hot Water Music, Alkaline Trio, Against Me) and mastered by Roger Seibel (Pavement, Cat Power, Modest Mouse), the album was recorded and mixed in a mere six days. The full 15-track record is available on itunes, amazon, in stores nationwide, and at www.post-records.com. Please buy it. We are broke. All the best! xoxo the Heathens.
