Southern Culture on the Skids

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Southern Culture on the Skids, also known to fans as SCOTS, is an American music group composed of Rick Miller (vocals, guitar), Dave Hartman (percussion), and Mary Huff (vocals, bass guitar). The band formed in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA, in 1985. Stylistically, they gravitate towards the rockabilly, surf rock, country music, and R&B genres, with outrageous humor thrown in. The band attracted a modicum of national attention in 1995 with the release of the song "Camel Walk" from their album "Dirt Track Date". SCOTS music is generally very upbeat, as they usually write and perform songs about dancing, sex, and fried chicken, which are main themes in songs such as "Cheap Motels," "Soul City," and "Eight Piece Box" respectively. They are also known for their live shows, which often include throwing fried chicken and banana pudding into the audience, and audience members invited to dance onstage. As a general rule, they are not hostile towards non-commercial taping of their shows [1].
