HOUSE WILLIAMS

The Second Chance

About Me

As the legitimate successors to the Wetterau legend Anus Presley, House Williams appears with a slightly souped up bodywork and tramping feet to the unforgettable Prog Blues-rulers who have filled every hidden concert hall for more than ten years and plunged the crowds into quiet states of turmoil.

After having overcome the self imposed dogma:
1. no publications, 2. no press, 3. no song performed more than once,
the cryptic quartet surrounding Josef Bercek published their first recording entitled “Revolutionist” under the name House Williams in 2003 with Hazelwood Vinyl Plastics.
