Bigfoot sightings are few and far between, and over the recent years, so
are my sightings of Beer Reebs.
My hunt for more Beer began back in the beginning of the year when I
caught a glimpse of him in Austin, TX, his home away from home. If you
haven’t been provided the chance to meet this bearded rebel with black
lungs, then frankly you haven’t been to Texas or SXSW, son! When he’s not
standing astride his altar at the foot of the devil’s dominion outside the
United State’s southern-most city, San Antonio, he can be found drinking
beer at his favorite bar called Sanctuary. Living this close to Hell has
rot his soul all but good, and impaired his vision so much he has stated
he’s “accustomed to reading backwards.” He works at Hogwild Records, an
independent record store, and when he’s not eating the Working Man’s
Special from Burger Boy, this body piercer is splitting tongues or
stretching ear lopes. His tattooed skin is as tough as leather, and he has
enough facial hair and mane to donate to American Cancer Society for a
full year long. Of course, all proceeds for his own non-profit
organization, Brotherhoods of Beard go strictly towards the funding for
more beer. No bar is too far, even for this brother of the bong. In fact,
his favorite (listed above) is right next door to Hogwild. Every state has
some main attraction to urinate on, but Reebs is the goddamn sixth wonder
of the rock you’ve been living under. Everyone knows him, and even El
Duche once told’em they’re, “the best two good-looking men in Rock N’
Roll.” David Allan Coe made him step out of the line he was stranding in
to meet him, just so Coe could shake his instead. He’s a founding member
of The Band Shit, and has hacked a few loogies or two in Rancid Vat,
celebrating over 25 yrs. More currently he can be found crushing skulls in
Pillcrusher, a dragged out, drugged up lo tempo style with other
like-minded blood-covered, boot-cut doom-hounds. He’s an inactive member
of The Confederacy Of Scum, in which Beer has quoted this about.
“No one certain person should be in charge of the C.O.S. It’s something we
should all just come together and stand for.”
Beer isn’t total marriage material but anytime I need a dark night in
rusted armor, I give him a call. In fact, when I called him in the
Cumberland Gap, in which not one, but three old farts mistook me for, he
never even noticed my missed call. Even though he spent some time homeless
and traveling in his teens, this by no means allows us to call him a crust
punk. He’s an adequate bather, and frequently attempts to brush his hair.
A ruthless rocker now turned businessman, he’s in the midst of booking the
first annual Doomed To Fall slated Oct. 20th thru 22nd in San Antonio, in
which the bands below are all confirmed to show:
