About Me


LONGNECK STRANGLER PLAYS THE HITS! IS NOW AVAILABLE!
LONGNECK STRANGLER PLAYS THE HITS! is a souvenir from the club dates, a reminder of the legendary marathons of red velvet and whiskey. It is a testimonial to how Longneck Strangler thrilled the crowds from and filled the evenings between the first round and the last call. LONGNECK STRANGLER PLAYS THE HITS! is a "thank you" to all the fans who who have watched Longneck Strangler develop their own sound by Strangling the songs we all know and love.
MY FIRST RODEO is also still available. You can purchase and download the tracks here (above), visit iTunes (click the iTunes button below), or you can click on the album cover to order the CD from CD Baby.
MY FIRST RODEO breaks the barriers that have grown between these estranged musical cousins of country and rock and roll. Produced by Chuck Alkazian (Sponge, Christina Aguilera, Uncle Kracker), and recorded at Pearl Sound in Canton, MI, MY FIRST RODEO captures the rock and country mix that has those who first hear Longneck Strangler saying; “I don’t like country music, but I like what you boys do.”
From the true-life “Out Getting Drunk Over You”, to the barn-burning “Take Me Off This Mountain”, through the swingin’ door honky-tonk of “Choose You Over Booze” and the instantly infectious rocker “Gone, Gone, Gone”, MY FIRST RODEO showcases the writing and performing talents that have made Longneck Strangler must-return artists at every venue they play. Lastly, their haunting, harmony-filled, acoustic-driven take on the Allman Brother’s “Midnight Rider” is just one example of how the boys Strangle the classics to make them their own.
A little bit Hank, a little bit AC/DC and a healthy dose of twang, flash and honky-tonk - they're all a part of the Longneck Strangler sound. As the boys would say - to borrow a phrase - Longneck Strangler is a lot of country, and a lot of rock and roll.
