About the Artist:
The Earps are a good time rock n roll band from Arizona with a Honky-Tonk sound and style. The band was named after sibling gunfighters made famous in the Arizona Territory, circa 1880s. The Earps were formed in Seattle when singer-guitarist HotWheels McGregor met drummer Marvelous Matt Maverick after leaving Seattle via Austin-based rock band Shinola. After relocating to Phoenix, they were joined by an Oklahoma native named Ump Ump who gives The Earps their signature heavy metal twang from his hot-rodded Telecaster. Holding down the low end is Kentucky-bred Buckshot George who also doubles the four-string duty for The Jeff Dahl Band.

The Earps have a local Arizona following, a regional Southwest touring circuit and have played with Nashville Pussy, Gilby Clarke, Honky and Bang Tango. The band also performed at the 2006 Desert Trash Blast, an indie punk rock n roll showcase held annually in Phoenix, Arizona. The music of The Earps will appeal to fans of The Georgia Satellites, Nine Pound Hammer, Jason & The Scorchers, Dwight Yoakam and mid-1980s metal.
