Career

Heathen Apostles began when vocalist Mather Louth, of Radio Noir and guitarist Chopper Franklin, a multi-instrumentalist known for his past with The Cramps and a driving force behind Gothic Americana, met and shared their interest in all things dark and Western. Joining after were upright bassist Thomas Lorioux, from the group The Kings of Nuthin’, and the violinist Luis Mascaro.[4] Heathen Apostles have actively toured the United States and parts of Europe.[5][6][7][8] In 2019, proceeds from their benefit song Paradise Lost went towards victims of the California wildfires.[9][10]
