It the all American story of the new century...low down dirty punk rockers turned greasers.
Why this name?
We stole it from a combination of other hip rockabilly band names.....sheer laziness really.
Do you play live?
Every now and again along the peninsula strip along the El Camino Real. We're pretty much zip coders....but please buy are CD anyway, once we get around to it.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
We heard the "internet" was some kinda of contraption to catch crawfish on the bayou...we'd like to get one so we can have us crawdaddin' hootenanny!
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Only if it's outta the back of of some old cat's Cadillac....and even then, it would have to be filled with 45's to sell to cool kitty's and daddy o's.
Band History:
Skateboarding 20 plus years each + punk rock + 30 something= time to twang it up and play us some rockin' hillbilly.
Your influences?
come on man.....any one that was on or under the influence of Sun Records! It's that simple folks.
Favorite spot?
Devil's Canyon Brewery.
Equipment used:
Chad "Spanky" Blakney spanks Gretsch Drums
Mike "Slappy" Alcantar slaps King upright basses
Ron "Twang King" Corral Jr. is a sucker for a cheap guitar!

Anything else...?
We just wanna have a good 'ol time. We're not trying to "make it". This is our outlet for our serious rockin' hillbilly roots addiction.
