The King haunts his throne.

Don't be cruel, baby--change the
toilet paper roll when it's empty.

Over the summer, Brooklyn got a rare treat when Knoxville rockabilly band The Royal Hounds tore through town. We heard from them on this blog a few years ago, but since then they've released a smokin' new album called Poker All Night Long (heh heh). The whole thing is worth a listen, but I'm especially excited about the number of spooky tunes on it, including today's song about Elvis haunting a bathroom!

In addition to writing fun songs and being crackerjack musicians, The Royal Hounds put on a manically entertaining live show. In a tiny corner of a Brooklyn bar, the lead singer not only managed to surf his upright bass, but also play guitar while the guitarist played the bass he was surfing. Confused? It sounds less complicated than it is.

Check them out doing "Elvis Is Haunting My Bathroom" on Knoxville's great weekly live broadcast, the WDVX Blue Plate Special. No bass surfing in this performance, but that just gives you more incentive to go see them for yourself when they burn through your town!
