Heathen Apostels from Los Angeles were formed in 2013, when Mather Louth (Radio Noir) and rock n roll veteran Chopper Franklin (The Cramps, Mau Maus, Nick Curran & the Lowlifes) quickly uncovered a mutual appreciation for murder balladry, Americana and memento mori. The landscape was further tilled with the addition of Thomas Lorioux (Kings of Nuthin', Legendary Shack Shakers) on bass and Luis Mascaro on violin.

Bosko Baker's Do Makers deliver a high-energy live show that blends American roots music - country blues, ragtime, folk, swing - what Bosko calls "street swing" or "bozo blues" with a raw, spontaneous stage presence honed from years of busking.
