Long Tall Texans

Original drummer Bill quit the trio and rock n roll shortly after they formed. Nobody seems to know exactly why but one rumour was that he decided on a career at the local hamburger emporium.

They got their name from the 1959 novelty hit by The Four Flickers (later covered by Murry Kellum and the Beach Boys).

--If there’s one band that Johnny (6’ 6” and from Texas) should join, it’s this one!

From their new album, that just came out on Monday!

The band’s persona and music obviously inspired by Johnny.

We have a Long, Tall Texan...His name is Johnny Lignite and he's actually from Texas...unlike The Long Tall Texans, who hail from Brighton, UK.

Cover of The Sweet's 1973 glam rock hit.

Originally by R.E.M., from their "Reckoning" album.

They're actually from Brighton, in the UK.
