Pendulum Hearts: “Cocaine Cowboy”

Kelly Daniela Norris

Austin duo Pendulum Hearts take over stages with their blend of Western Swing and rockabilly, filled-out by a rotating cast of characters to round out the rhythm section and sprinkle in soloists. The beat of Pendulum Hearts comes from guitarist and vocalist Chase Risinger and fiddle player Tony Perez.

They’re sweat-inducing, boot-scooting live shows are a large part of the group’s trademark, and one they’ll be bringing to several stages this month behind the release of their new song “Cocaine Cowboy,” an imprudent romp about the fast times of a chosen lifestyle.

Pendulum Hearts plays Infamous Brewing off 620 this Saturday and Fareground Austin on 1st and Congress next Saturday, May 17th.
