The Reverend Horton Heat is a three-piece American rockabilly and psychobilly band from Dallas, Texas and the stage name of its singer and songwriter, Jim Heath (born in 1959 in Corpus Christi, Texas). The group originally formed in 1985, playing its first gigs in Dallas's Deep Ellum neighborhood. Its current members are Jim "Reverend Horton" Heath on guitar and lead vocals, Jimbo Wallace on the upright bass, and Paul Simmons on drums. Through relentless touring and a manic stage show, they have established themselves as one of the most popular underground acts in America.

"One of the best psychobilly bands around....a traditional psychobilly sound but supercharged with aggression and skillful execution.." - The nice people at Rockers "Whipping up a storm in the Liverpool scene...this maniacal wrecking crew are leading the charge of the British rockabilly movement headfirst into the dark side and loving every minute of it." - Big Cheese Magazine "Blue Demon swagger and shake in all the right places!" - Rocksound Magazine "Watch out, BLUE DEMON could become one of the leaders of the European psychobilly scene." - GoPsycho Online

The Frantic Flintstones first incarnation was in 1986, in fact Chuck even remembers the first gig. It was at Reading University in October of that year. Previous to that Chuck had been fronting a few other bands that sort of fizzled out, notably What's This Fish? and Mute. The fish band even got some local press where Chuck is pictured with some very square 80s looking chaps while he looks all psycho and wearing a huge pair of glasses, even off the wall in those days.
