Hey, Greasy presents…

HICKOIDS

Originally formed in 1984 in Austin and conceived by original guitarist Jukebox and singer Jeff Smith as hardcore country meets hardcore punk the band quickly began touring Texas and then the United States. The band played their first show opening for Black Flag and the Meat Puppets in San Antonio in March 1984  and  would share the stage with seminal Austin bands such as Scratch Acid, The True Believers, Poison 13, The Offenders and The Butthole Surfers while leaving traditional music fans and musicians scratching their heads as they took “Best Country Band” honors in the Austin Chronicle’s Annual Reader’s Poll in 1985. Musically they had more in common with West Coast counterparts Tex & The Horseheads, The Screamin’ Sirens and Blood on the Saddle, playing many California dates with these bands while also hosting shows for them back in Texas.
