Doc Holliday Takes the Shotgun – “King of the Moon” Video + Tour Dates
Horror-surf rockers Doc Holliday Takes The Shotgun are back with the video to their second single from newly released EP, Odd/Even. The swampy, blues track titled ‘King Of The Moon’ starts off with lumbering shuffled drums, a rolling bassline and cutting guitar hooks.

The band’s very own frontman, Jack Booker, can take a bow for directing and producing the new clip – bravo!
