+-------------------------------[Release Notes]------------------------------+
| |
| True to their name, North Carolina's Southern Culture on the Skids offer |
| an affectionate parody of local white-trash trailer-park culture, |
| matching their skewed outlook with a wild, careening brand of rock & |
| roll. SCOTS' music is a quintessentially Southern-fried amalgam of |
| rockabilly, boogie, country, blues, swamp pop, and chitlin circuit R&B, |
| plus a liberal dose of California surf guitar, a hint of punk attitude, |
| and the occasional mariachi horns. Following an early incarnation as a |
| relatively straightforward roots rock outfit, they morphed into a |
| raucous, sleazy, tongue-in-cheek party band obsessed with sex and food; |
| in fact, fried chicken became a crucial part of their live performances, |
| whether it was used in eating contests or tossed into the audience. |
| Southern Culture may play chiefly to an underground-rock audience, but |
| their gonzo tributes to the South aren't as smug as some of their peers |
| working similar territory, since the band has genuine roots in the area. |
| |
| Southern Culture on the Skids were founded by guitarist/singer Rick |
| Miller in the college town of Chapel Hill, NC, in 1985. Growing up, |
| Miller had split time between Henderson, NC, where his father ran a |
| mobile-home factory, and Southern California, where his mother lived, |
| and where he first discovered surf and rockabilly. After earning a |
| degree in art from the University of North Carolina, Miller started the |
| first incarnation of Southern Culture on the Skids with original lead |
| vocalist Stan Lewis, bassist Leslie Land, and drummer Chip Shelby. Lewis |
| brought a distinct Cramps influence to the band, although their style |
| was still much more subdued than it would later become. This quartet |
| lineup released an EP called Voodoo Beach Party on the local indie label |
| Lloyd Street, followed later in 1985 by an eponymous full-length debut. |
| |
| As the band drifted more and more into country territory, co-founder |
| Lewis split; two more members were added on accordion and pedal steel, |
| but the band's new direction alienated much of its local following, and |
| the first version of Southern Culture split not long after. In 1987, |
| Miller regrouped with a new, smaller lineup featuring bassist and |
| sometime vocalist Mary Huff and drummer Dave Hartman, both of whom had |
| grown up together in Roanoke, VA. (Lewis, Land, and Shelby would later |
| reunite as Stan Lewis & the Rockin' Revellers, and performed on a mostly |
| local basis.) The new Southern Culture spent a few years honing their |
| sound and releasing the very occasional single. Finally, in 1991, they |
| returned to the LP format with Too Much Pork for Just One Fork, which |
| was issued on the ill-fated Moist label. Too Much Pork established the |
| group's lyrical obsessions, and featured the first recording of their |
| fried-chicken anthem "Eight Piece Box," a concert favorite. |
| |
| Southern Culture's next album, the rawer-sounding 1992's For Lovers |
| Only, began to win them a wider following thanks to better distribution |
| from the band's new label, Safe House. Among other fan favorites, it |
| featured Huff's first major vocal showcase, a cover of the Jo Anna Neel |
| country obscurity "Daddy Was a Preacher but Mama Was a Go-Go Girl." The |
| half-live, half-studio EP Peckin' Party followed on Feedbag in 1993, as |
| did the 10" Girlfight EP on Sympathy for the Record Industry. The more |
| laid-back, country-flavored full-length Ditch Diggin' appeared on Safe |
| House in 1994, featuring covers of the Louvin Brothers and Link Wray. In |
| 1995, Geffen subsidiary DGC signed Southern Culture on the Skids to a |
| major-label contract, which was consummated the following year with Dirt |
| Track Date. Although Dirt Track Date included re-recordings of several |
| of the band's most popular past songs, it received generally |
| enthusiastic reviews and sold over a quarter of a million copies. |
| |
| After another indie EP, this time the Mexican wrestling tribute Santo |
| Swings!/Viva del Santo on Estrus, Southern Culture issued their second |
| major-label album, Plastic Seat Sweat, in 1997, which marked the debut |
| of new keyboardist/multi-instrumentalist Chris "Cousin Crispy" Bess. |
| However, they got lost in the shuffle of the big-time label mergers, and |
| wound up without a record deal for a while. After regrouping with 1998's |
| self-released, horror-themed Zombiefied EP, the band returned to action |
| on TVT with 2000's full-length Liquored Up and Lacquered Down, which |
| marked a return to the country-tinged sound of Ditch Diggin'. A brief |
| recording hiatus followed, but the band returned in early 2004 with Mojo |
| Box, recorded in Miller's home studio and released by Yep Roc. The label |
| released the fiery live album Doublewide and Live in 2006. |
