Greg Prevost reunites with ex-Chesterfield Kings pals in Shitkicker Rebellion

Shitkicker Rebellion's Rick Cona and Greg "Stackhouse" Prevost just released their rippin' debut 45 on Penniman Records.  

Here's the scoop...

For Rochester's Greg "Stackhouse" Prevost, 2022 turned out to be an especially fruitful year for his “artistic pursuits.” Greg's memoir On The Street I Met a Dog was published just two weeks before the release of his album Vintage Violence. To properly celebrate this coincidence, a presentation was organized at the legendary House of Guitars in Rochester. For such a special event, a book signing was scheduled, spiced up with free pizza, a “party” atmosphere, and a small, unannounced live performance. Greg was joined by his “brothers” and former Chesterfield Kings members Rick Cona (bass), Paul Morabito (guitar), Zachary Koch (drums) and Ryan Moore (lead guitar, piano/organ) from the Low Spirits. Watch some footage from the event below. 

The band performed five songs under the name The Shitkicker Rebellion. As expected, it was a blast, leaving both the artists and audience wanting more. Within a couple of weeks, they headed to the studio to record two songs from the brief live set with the idea of releasing a single.

Chesterfield Kings' mainman Greg Prevost tells his story in new book

Greg Prevost, frontman of Rochester garage rock rebels The Chesterfield Kings, details his life in music for Misty Lane Books. 

Here's the scoop from editor Massimo del Pozzo...

This incredible labor of love was several years in the making. Prevost has dug out from his infinite personal collection anything that a true Rock’n’Roll fan might want to see. Vintage pics, flyers, articles, and historical info about venues, record shops, record labels, concerts, happenings, and previously unheard “garage tales” will make this book essential reading. What makes this even more exciting is the accurate, year-by-year, month-by-month, and occasionally day-by-day report of his personal timeline, as well as his musical growth inside and outside of the Chesterfield Kings.

This book covers in detail the life of a kid born in the fifties who witnessed the many changes in the music scene, all reported with a super-fun and cool attitude. Greg Prevost is not only a collector, writer, musician, and expert about the '60-'70s genuine Rock’n’Roll expression, he has gathered it all together to shape his attitude to become the purest and most honest storyteller. You’ll learn so much about true Rock’n’Roll that your eyes will bleed from looking at the 40 pages of unbelievably cool pictures Prevost has collected since the mid '50s.

Greg Prevost's autobiography On The Street I Met A Dog will be out in a couple of weeks but you can pre-order it from Misty Lane right here.
