THE SHAKIN' APOSTLES LIGHT OUT FOR THE TERRITORIES TO PROMOTE THEIR NEW ALBUM,

FRONTIER A GO GO

From the Byrds' Gene Clark to psychedelic music pioneer Roky Erickson to fabled country rocker Jerry Jeff Walker, Freddie "Steady" Krc has crossed paths with some of the most colorful characters in American music. But Krc (rhymes with "church") has always pursued his own singular musical vision. That vision is on full display in the latest incarnation of his band, the Shakin' Apostles, and their brand-new album, the aptly-titled Frontier a Go Go.

With its disparate flavors of country-rock, highly-melodic pop, psychedelica, Americana, Texas music, and singer/songwriter-style storytelling, Frontier a Go Go blazes a fresh musical trail. Or, as the liner notes accompanying the album put it: "They've criss-crossed the very big US of A: From clip-cloppin' in boots of Spanish leather near Dylan-sanctified G. Village java joints, to staggerin' up the same hills that held Mody Grape fast in their tracks in the always fog-draped San Francisco, and hangin' with the Love generation of high-flyin' Byrds-worshipers in Hollywood's neon-lit bayous.then moseyed all the way back to the groovy, BBQ-smoked homefires of Austin."

Based in Austin, Texas, the Shakin' Apostles boast some of the leading luminaries of that city's justly-famous live music scene. Joining Krc in the band are fellow Apostles Bradley Kopp (lead and rhythm guitar, vocals), Mark Andes (bass) and "Waco" Jack McVey (drums, vocals). On Frontier a Go Go, they are joined by guest musicians Rusty Young (the pedal steel virtuoso from Poco), keyboardist Resse Wynans (of Stevie Ray Vaughan's Double Trouble), and guitarist Cam King who, along with Krc, co-founded the Explosives, one of Austin's first and best punk/power pop bands.

Standout tracks on Frontier a Go Go include the infectious country-rocker "Jackass Hill," the atmospheric and allegorical "The Banquet," "Austin Texas Blues," a rocking tip of the hat to the band's hometown, and the one-two Day-Glo punch of "Child of the Universe" and "In My Head" (the latter of which was penned in 1980, when Freddie recorded with psychedelic rock pioneer Roky Erickson of the 13th Floor Elevators).
