TEXAS HIPPIE COALITION RELEASES "DIRTY FINGER" MUSIC VIDEO NEW LP, HIGH IN THE SADDLE, OUT NOW

July 16, 2019 - Texas Hippie Coalition has released a new music video today for “Dirty Finger.” Once again directed by veteran director Justin Reich (BLACK LABEL SOCIETY, EVERY TIME I DIE) this is the second music video the band has released from their recently released LP, High In The Saddle. “Let me see your dirty finger in the air! This set was the most fun I’ve ever had shooting a video, bar none, we just cut loose” says frontman Big Dad Ritch. “Around 4:20 pm, we started partying, grilling, drinking, and burnin’ with a bunch of friends and extended family. BarBQ, Beer, and Bud! Living in live color! That’s OUTLAW Baby!"

"Dirty Finger" embodies Texas Hippie Coalition in every way. A real THC manifesto, if ever there was one: swampy grooves, Crüe-type partying, and a Man in Black style saga. It is a face-melting fireball of fun that works just as well in an arena or with a solitary sing-a-long while speeding down the highway. Texas Hippie Coalition also recently wrapped up the "Haulin' Moonshine Tour," reeling in some serious critical acclaim. After a recent show at The Tarheel in Jacksonville, NCSideStage Magazine reported, "You will not regret this live show–it's more than just music, but a family experience at a Hippie show."

THC released High In The Saddle, on May 31, 2019, via Entertainment One (eOne) to high praise. Classic Rock Magazine already added the album to the list of "50 Best Rock Albums of 2019 (so far)" saying, “'High In The Saddle' is a ridiculous yet somehow magnificent album, riddled with redneck clichés, with songs that might be cast as novelty were they not so well written.” High in the Saddle is a record full of unashamed, full-throttle ass kicking. It’s the band’s second pairing with producer Bob Marlette (Black Stone Cherry, Rob Zombie) and sixth album overall, on the heels of their #2 Billboard Heatseekers slab, Dark Side of Black.    Backyard barbeques, barroom brawls, tent revivals, and big rock festivals alike are suitable environments for the Red Dirt Metal of THC, a band with a sound so devilishly electrifying that they had to come up with a new genre to describe it.    BIG DAD RITCH captains this pirate ship of bikers, outlaws, troubadours, and hellraisers, welcoming all comers to the THC party with gregarious charisma and Southern charm. Across a half dozen albums, countless club gigs, and show-stealing performances at Rockstar Mayhem, THC has spread the good word of big riffs, big hooks, and wild times.    Ritch puts the band’s evolution in Old West terms. “In the beginning, you’re an outlaw looking for direction. You gotta get the best guys for the job behind you,” he explains. “Now we know how to rob banks, how to rob stagecoaches, and how to rob trains.”   “I’m just out to have fun, man,” Ritch says with genuine modesty. “I never look at this as something I have to do. It’s something I /get/ to do. I just thank the Lord above that He has given me this talent that has allowed me to garner these wonderful things in life.”    Texas Hippie Coalition continues to ride or die for truth-telling, unashamed, Red Dirt Metal badassery, winning over new acolytes every damn day. As Blabbermouth once asked:“How many more reasons do you need to try a little THC? Everybody’s doing it.”

The song appears as track one on the new album and is available for streaming right now via Guitar World.

I feel I represent a mighty powerful bright light, but I also feel that when push comes to shove, the darkness I have hidden behind my light is ready to blacken all that holds color. When this happens, I cannot control my dark side. You see, there is always someone who has a darker side and I am the Dark Side of Black..."   Colorado THC fans should brace themselves for the band's upcoming album release party and performance at Herman's Hideaway in Denver, CO, taking place on April 23rd. It's no secret that the show will celebrate the 4/20 holiday and that special plant the band holds dear, so in preparation for the show, premier local rock station 106.7 KBPI FM will premiere the band's weed-friendly track "Knee Deep" on April 20th during "Your Morning Show" with host Willie B. The show airs from 6-10am U.S. mountain time and can be streamed live worldwide here.   The newly-explored heavy side of TEXAS HIPPIE COALITION is evident throughout Dark Side of Black, which embraces the band's southern roots while exploring a murky, groovier feel - not straying too far from THC's tried and true brand of rugged outlaw rock.   Pre-orders for Dark Side of Black are available now via iTunes, Amazon and Google Play.Dark Side of Black was recorded at Boot Hill Studio in Corinth, TX and Valve Studios in Dallas, TX with producer Sterling Winfield (Pantera, Hellyeah, Damageplan).   Dark Side of BlackTracklisting: 1.         Come Get It 2.         Angel Fall 3.         Shakin' Baby 4.         Knee Deep 5.         Villain 6.         Into The Wall 7.         Dark Side 8.         Rise 9.         Hit It Again 10.       Gods Are Angry   In celebration of the album's release, TEXAS HIPPIE COALITION will venture out on a U.S. headline tour with support from fellow Texas namesakes and natives Sons of Texas.
