From: Aberystwyth, Texas!
Style / influences: Country/rockabilly, also featuring bits o' punk an' reggae scattered 'bout.

Been going since: September 2006
Where they play: Pubs, clubs, venue bars, biker rallies, here an' there...
Favorite local venue: The Angel - waterin' hole and venue combined!
Songs they cover: Our set currently-i-ay includes material by Metallica, Pantera, Soil, Rage Against The Machine, System Of A Down, and many more...
Recordings available: Jus' a rudiment'ry two track demo CD called ' Gooder Than Grits'. A full album is done bein' recorded real soon...
Best moment so far: Fifteen pissed-up Birmingham students singin' 'Enter Sandman' right back at us!
Future plans: Play some festivals, get people dancin' like rockabillin' maniacs, meet and jam with Hayseed Dixie one day... well, men can dream, right?

Anything else we should know?: We're redneck stock character potentially offensive stereotypes on a stage. We shindig up all y'all''s favourite headbangin' tunes, basically rippin' off Hayseed Dixie.
