“ennio morricone meets zz top at lee hazlewood’s house on mescaline” -emerald city reader
led by william slater (grails, black mountain, ugly casanova), silver triplets of the rio hondo is a fantasy western outfit whose sound marries synthesizer, noise collage, & drum programming to a set of barrel-chested crooners, lending the live band an eerie camp that could live as easily on a dilapidated cruise ship as inside a honky tonk bar. dusty, cinematic textures floating about a dystopian harbor. jim reeves meeting vangelis for a piña colada. sci-fi roadhouse music for dissociatives.
