About Me |
|
| The Holy Smokes are a four piece band from Las Vegas. They play gutsy, stripped down rock and roll... the kind that seems hard to come by these days. Combining elements of psychobilly, garage, blues, country and punk, The Holy Smokes serve up a unique brand of roots rock. On stage, The Holy Smokes deliver their songs with an unmatched conviction, sweating out every note like it was their last. As one of the only bands from Las Vegas that has played with straight up blues bands and punk bands alike, The Holy Smokes bridge the gap between the music genres and invite all ears to the party.

Citylife review |
