Press Reviews

Jim Swift ~ KXAN ~3 August 2011

What's your favorite band or musician?
Far too many to list, though I really enjoy the Austin country band, Stop the Truck, and its reggae alter-ego, the Mau Mau Chaplains.

Austin Chronicle - 11 September 2009

Featuring former members of Greezy Wheels, the Lotions, and Pressure, South Austin's longstanding roadhouse country outfit Stop the Truck doubles as the Mau Mau Chaplains, the reggae house band for Flamingo Cantina, where the two acts kick off a weekly double bill Tuesday. "We're not fooling anybody; we're not dressing up with dreadlocks," laughs guitarist Steve Carter. "We wear cowboy hats at reggae gigs and just play whatever we feel like." To boot, Stop the Truck – rounded out by Miguel Pankratz, Moe Monsarrat, and Ed Ferguson – also serves as the backup band for Freddy Powers (see "The Good Times Ain't Over," Aug. 22, 2008) and has been working on a tribute to the outlaw songwriter that includes contributions from Ray Benson ("Texas in Oklahoma"), Merle Haggard ("A Friend in California"), and Powers himself (the unreleased "Do You Still Listen to Willie"). "We call him Poppa," says Carter. "He's our guru. He's made us all better writers and musicians."
