Hank Williams the III show with ASSJACK
Tuesday, March 10, 2009
On March 3 I was lucky enough to see the best musical performance of my life. The show was at the Roseland Theater in Portland and it featured Hank (Williams) the III and ASSJACK.
I have seen many different bands perform, including Raffi, Wilson Phillips (my mom made me go), The Who, Slayer, and many others. But none can compare to the show that Hank the III and the ASSJACK’s put on.
The first part of the show was dedicated to country music and was very long and awesome. They played many classics from Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash and George Jones just to name a few. Once the country music was done Hank’s ponytail came undone and the pissed-off hell-raising rebel-punk show was on.
ASSJACK is a fast-paced Hellbilly band that is led by Hank the III and features Gary Lindsey on vocals and Joe Buck on stand-up bass. This band is not for the faint of heart and the vocals could offend some people, but hey, they are just words.
Anyway, Hank Williams the III is the best show I have ever seen and I would highly recommend it to anyone that likes to have fun, scream and sweat out enough moisture to fill a small kiddy pool.
