2025 7:00PM doors -- music at 8:00PM ••• 21 AND OVER $25 Southern Culture On The Skids scots.com Southern-fried Rock : rockabilly, boogie, country, blues The Hyperdrive Kittens hyperdrivekittens.com punk pop Southern Culture On The Skids -from Chapel Hill, NC -Southern Culture On The Skids has been consistently recording and touring around the world since 1983. The band (Rick Miller – guitar and vocals, Mary Huff – bass and vocals, Dave Hartman – drums) has been playing together for over 30 years. Their musical journey has taken them from all-night North Carolina house parties to late night TV talk shows (Conan O’Brien, The Tonight Show), from performing at the base of Mt. Fuji in Japan to rockin’ out for the inmates at North Carolina correctional facilities. They’ve shared a stage with many musical luminaries including Link Wray, Loretta Lynn, Hasil Adkins and Patti Smith. Their music has been featured in movies and TV, parodied by Weird Al, and used to sell everything from diamonds to pork sausage. In 2014 the band was honored by the Southern Folklife Collection at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill with an exhibition featuring their music and cultural contributions. Their legendary live shows are a testament to the therapeutic powers of foot-stomping, butt-shaking rock and roll and what Rolling Stone dubbed “a hell raising rock and roll party.” At Home with Southern Culture on the Skids is the latest full length album from the band and was released in March of 2021. It was recorded during the stay at home period of the pandemic when the band was at home and not touring. The album consists of 11 tracks recorded and mixed in Rick Miller’s living room with some additional tracks recorded at his studio, The Kudzu Ranch. The first radio single off the album is “Run Baby Run”—a rocking number with deep garage roots. SCOTS bassist Mary Huff provides an urgent vocal while the band pulls back the throttle on a full race fuzz fest—cause she’s gotta to go fast! Run Baby Run! The other songs on the album are a combination of the band’s unique mix of musical genres: rock and roll, surf, folk and country—all a bit off-center, what Rick proudly calls “our wobbly Americana”. Rick goes on, “We put a few more acoustic guitars on this one, as you would expect if you recorded in your living room, but it still rocks like SCOTS. So put your headphones on, get in your favorite chair/sofa/recliner, put on “At Home With” and let’s hang out for a while.” Guitar riffs as lumpy as a camel, rough as a jackhammer or smooth and bright as Tennessee sippin’ whiskey, all slung loose and loud over salacious beats - No Depression For over thirty years, Southern Culture On The Skids have played an eclectic range of Americana including rockabilly, surf rock, country and R&B, with a punk edge and heaps of humor. They are known for their legendary live shows and wacky antics...But it’s more than just great fun; they are fantastic musicians to boot. - Elmore Magazine This Chapel Hill-based trio is flat-out amazing. Without resorting to needless flash or attention-hungry showboating, Miller in particular is one of the most spectacularly gifted guitar players I’ve ever seen. He juggles a lot of styles – country, garage rock, surf, rockabilly and soul to name just a few. - Stomp & Stammer The Hyperdrive Kittens -from San Francisco, CA -The Hyperdrive Kittens are a glitter-filled, She-powered punk and roll PARTY right outta San Francisco, CA. With fun melodic songs delivered with a naughty lil attitude, the Hyperdrive Kittens scratch out a blistering, playful, outrageously good time with a Burlesque and Rocky Horror influenced show that’s all their own... The Kitten's Story.... Once upon a time a few years before the Hyperdrive Kittens formed, Lee Nails (Lee Sanders) got introduced to Jenene Curtis. He'd jammed with Jenene once, recording a version of 'Ziggy Stardust' on a 4 track, so he knew she could sing. The original plan was to just drink beer and play Ramones and New York Dolls covers--- have fun basically! ...BUT once Lee started writing he knew he wanted to work with a female vocalist and just called Jenene up. He said he never even considered anybody else. Described in the 90's as charming deviates, The Outpunk label released their second 7" with Rock N' Roll Drag Queen and Addiction, with additional compilations released on Munster Records. "rock that recalls both the Ramones and the Ronettes, and the lovely high harmonies - backed by grungy guitars and bitchin' 2 and 4 rim shots that would make even Phil Spector a little green with envy." -Billy Lavay Back then, the Kittens played mostly in San Francisco at clubs including DNA Lounge, Paradise Lounge, Nightbreak & 6th Street Rendezvous, often sharing the stage with bands like the White Trash Debutantes, Screaming Bloody Marys and Pansy Division. Years pass with various line-up changes, a hiatus taken by singer Jenene (and even a split birthing of Lee & Marta’s side band, Rabid Rat Fondue). Ultimately though, The Hyperdrive Kittens reunite in 2015 to write & record LP Back To The Alley only to unexpectedly lose their leader, Lee Nails, shortly after the 2016 album release. (RIP Lee) “30 years of challenging norms and ragin' against the machine is a pretty great story, and now you have the added gravitas of carrying on without your leader. I mean, that's rock and roll salvation in a nutshell!” -Dennis Willis, Soundwaves TV Fast forward to meow --- The Hyperdrive Kittens are BACK with more sass, distortion & playful naughtiness than ever! Their latest EP release titled The Meow Factor is mastered by East Bay Ray (Dead Kennedys) and the single Rocky Road’s Music Video premiered on SoundwavesTV. Lee Nails' wild creative spirit and music prowls on with a reformed and amplified She-Powered gLitter of Kittens fronted with founding front-woman Jenene Curtis aka Glitter Kitten, Marta Bulaich rhythm guitar, Rob Neidel on bass, Melne (Catbird) or Tommy Lafferty (the Axeman) ripping lead guitar and Jungle Kitty—Tymber’s slammin’ drums. The Kittens continue to embrace life on their own terms of empowerment, advocacy & doing whatever they want with MORE love, MORE rage, MORE fun...MORE MEWSIC! |
