Jeffrey Nothing w/ Dizarsterpiece
Jeffrey Nothing is the founding voice and original frontman of Cleveland metal band Mushroomhead, a group he co-founded in 1993 and fronted for over two decades. During his tenure, Mushroomhead released multiple albums on major labels, achieved international chart success, and toured extensively across the United States and abroad, becoming a staple of major rock and metal festivals. Known for his distinctive vocals, theatrical stage presence, and genre-blending approach, Jeffrey Nothing helped define Mushroomhead’s identity and long-standing impact on the modern metal landscape. As a solo artist, he continues to deliver powerful, emotionally charged performances that draw from decades of experience on major stages while pushing forward with new creative vision. DIZASTERPIECE is an unapologetic collision of raw emotion, razor-sharp lyricism, and electrifying energy. Hailing from New Jersey’s underground, this genre-blurring force blends the unrelenting aggression of post-hardcore and nu-metal with the rhythmic precision of hip-hop. Covered in tattoos and often clad in a vintage hardcore band tee, DIZASTERPIECE is a walking embodiment of DIY ethos, treating hip-hop with the same grit and intensity as the punk and metal bands that shaped their musical roots. Rather than following the traditional hip-hop playbook of dropping endless mixtapes, DIZASTERPIECE forged a different path—writing records, booking shows, and relentlessly touring.

True to his high evangelical calling, Jim is a Revelator, both revealing & reinterpreting the country-blues-rock roots of American music. He’s a time-travelling space cowboy on an endless interstellar musical tour, and we are all the richer & “psychobillier” for getting to tag along. Seeing REVEREND HORTON HEAT live is a transformative experience. Flames come off the guitars. Heat singes your skin. There’s nothing like the primal tribal rock& roll transfiguration of a Reverend Horton Heat show. Jim becomes a slicked-back 1950′s rock & roll shaman channeling Screamin’ Jay Hawkins through Buddy Holly, while Jimbo incinerates the Stand-Up Bass. And then there are the “Heatettes”. Those foxy rockabilly chicks dressed in poodle-skirts and cowboy boots slamming the night away. It’s like being magically transported into a Teen Exploitation picture from the 1950′s that’s currently taking place in the future. Listening to the REVEREND HORTON HEAT is tantamount to injecting pure musical nitrous into the hotrod engine of your heart. The Reverend’s commandants are simple. And no band on this, or any other, planet rocks harder, drives faster, or lives truer than the ReverendHorton Heat. These “itinerant preachers” actually practice what they preach. They live their lives by the Gospel of Rock & Roll. From the High-Octane Spaghetti-Western Wall of Sound in “Big Sky” — to the dark driving frenetic paranoia of “400 Bucks” – to the brain-melting Western Psychedelic Garage purity of “Psychobilly Freakout” — The Rev’s music is the perfect soundtrack to the Drive-In Movie of your life. Jim Heath & Jimbo Wallace have chewed up more road than the Google Maps drivers. For twenty five Psychobilly years, they have blazed an indelible, unforgettable, and meteoric trail across the globe with their unique blend of musical virtuosity, legendary showmanship, and mythic imagery. “Okay it’s time for me to put this loaded gun down, jump in my Five-Oh Ford, and nurture my pig on the outskirts of Houston. I’ll be bringing my love whip. See y’all later.” – Carty Talkington Writer/Director Rev your engines and catch the sermon on the road as it’s preached by everybody’s favorite Reverend. Don’t forget to keep an eye out for the 11th studio album from REVEREND HORTON HEAT, boldly titled Rev, due out January 21st.
