A group of five hell-raising and God-fearing mavericks roll into town with guitars and amps in tow, and a party immediately ensues…With drinks poured, fists raised, and smiles wide, TEXAS HIPPIE COALITION (THC) always knows how to have a good time. A collective of tried-and-true rabble rousers and dyed-in-the-wool storytellers, the Texas quintet—Big Dad Ritch [vocals], Cord Pool [guitar], Nevada Romo [guitar], Rado Romo [bass], and Joey Mandigo [drums]—spike ass-whopping hard rock with a kick of country swagger and a whole lot of Texas grit and gusto.
Gathering tens of millions of streams, logging thousands of miles on the road, and energizing countless fans, they deliver ten anthems tailormade to simmer and scorch on their eighth full-length album, Gun Smoke [MNRK Heavy]. “It represents the wild west Texas-Oklahoma area. You’ve got a little red dirt country spilling over into the storytelling and metal. It’s a return to the dirt where we came from.” says Ritch.
Opening the night is Pump 5. A hard-driving American rock band hailing from Southern California, delivering a raw, high-octane sound that blends classic rock grit with modern edge. Rooted in heavy riffs, punchy rhythms, and hook-laden songwriting, the band channels the spirit of arena rock while keeping one foot firmly planted in the underground.
Known for their explosive live shows and no-frills attitude, Pump 5 brings a straight-ahead intensity that cuts through the noise—equal parts swagger, sweat, and soul. Their music fuses elements of hard rock, metal, and bluesy undertones, creating a sound that feels both familiar and fiercely their own.
Built on tight musicianship and a relentless work ethic, Pump 5 continues to carve out their place in the rock scene, appealing to fans who crave authenticity, volume, and a band that means every note they play.
