Welcome to this Lighthouse
Keepers page - I hope, soon to be able to give the band a more substantial
virtual space, though since I first set this up it seems a few others are keen to beat me to the job! ~ please feel

WHO WE WERE / ARE! THE LIGHTHOUSE KEEPERS
In 1983 Tex Truck & The Semis became The Lighthouse Keepers who existed until 1986 and managed to play many many shows + in that time had quite a few vinyl releases later followed by a cd that compiled the whole story.
There have only been four LHK shows since 1986. The most recent being in October 2007 ~ if you would like to be informed of any further shows email the LHK INFO DESK now and we'll let you know if one comes up.
Sorry this is all I have time for at present but I will be adding what I can as time (+ server space) permits in the meantime :
