Or, Merry Christmas from the best band in Canada right now. Yip, I said it. Vancouver’s Apollo Ghosts not only deliver a never ending supply of amazing (and free) jams, they put on the most enjoyable straight ahead live show in the business. No gimmicks, just sincere enjoyment and non stop energy (and more cape in the monitor than any band alive).
Oh… they also love rasslin’, so on a recent trip to Graceland the band teamed up with The Honky Tonk Kid to record a rough and ready take on the (Billy Hayes and Jay W. Johnson written) Elvis classic, “Blue Christmas.” I don’t know if Elvis ever used the song to reach out to his father (wrestling legend The Honky Tonk Man), but it seems to work for HTK. Enjoy!
