As a mega-genre wrought with power chords, superficial lyrics, and a general attitude of flipping your parents the bird, rock is often easier to absorb than to define. With that in mind, there’s a certain group whose character falls somewhere between ZZ Top, Led Zeppelin, GFR, and interestingly enough, Papa Roach…and that’s Austin’s own Tommy Rebel and the Righteous. Having already opened for the likes of Joan Jett and Molly Hatchet before founding the Righteous in 2015, the eponymous frontman uses the trio as a vehicle to impart the wisdom, compassion, and encouragement he’s accrued over the years.  The Righteous was finally solidified in 2018 after test-driving three drummers and four bassists (settling on Rollie White and Naer Lin, respectively), and marking their first collaboration with oft-sought-out producer Chris “Frenchie” Smith, Tommy Rebel and the Righteous release their debut album Renaissance Dude tomorrow! The Renaissance Dude release show is 10pm tomorrow at ABGB so get some bearings on your moral compass with Tommy Rebel and the Righteous, courtesy of the late-’70s/early-’80s-penned single “Moving On”!  –Photo: Katie McDowell

Tommy Rebel and the Righteous: “Moving On”

The people wanted him back... so I tracked down this guy ova here. The first guest to be on the show three times. The Return of Tommy Rebel. This time around he talks about his obsession with collecting. Yes... collecting. Things like old, classic Coney Island memorabilia, signs, stickers and a vast assortment of stuff. And of course we talk a couple crazy graffiti stories, being on trial for vandalism, and about how Central Booking is never a fun or comfortable place to be. Enjoy the rambling of the infamous Tommy Rebel... for the third time.

Tommy Rebel: Track III

The listeners wanted him back... so here you go! "Tommy Rebel" is back on the show telling some stories about the dangers of writing graffiti in the subway tunnels all over New York City and how, on a couple of occasions escaped death by literally inches! Whether it was by electrocution or by being hit by trains. The risks one has to take in order to get "ups" is second to none. I hope you enjoy this look into the underground of the concrete jungle.

Tommy Rebel 2.0: Close Calls & Near Death Experiences.

Jimmy sits down with "Tommy Rebel". A "Bay Ridginal" OG New Yorker. We shoot the shit about Graffiti in late 80's and early 90's, Fireworks, M-80's, Pineapples, how in Chinatown you used to be able to buy everything from graffiti supplies to piranhas to people. Hahaha! A bunch of true stories about being a crazy kid in Brooklyn back in the day. Some things that were done, if done today, you'd be labeled a domestic terrorist most likely. But, it was all in good fun growing up in Brooklyn before the internet and smart phones. Hope you enjoy.
