The Groovy Rednecks are an alt-country band from Los Angeles, California, who refer to themselves as being a "country band for people who hate country" and a "Drinkin' Band". The Rednecks consist of vocalist Tex Troester, guitarist Bob Ricketts, bassist Ron Botelho, Gary Riley, and Jim Doyle, who replaced the previous drummer, Herman Senac in 2004.
Since forming in 1991, the Rednecks have played over 400 shows, at venues such as Raji's, The Shamrock, Spaceland, The Scene, The Bigfoot Lodge and even at East Hollywood strip club Jumbo's Clown Room.

[edit] Discography
- 1997: Buzzed
- 1999: Wishful Drinking
- 2003: Ass Grabbin’ Country
Ass Grabbin’ Country is the latest release, and is the most personal of all three CDs. For once the songs are not all about Tex Troester, instead deciding to try something new, having songs about each of the other band members also. My Girlfriends Got A Boyfriend is about Gary, Who Wears The Pants? is about Ron and his wife, and My Wife Got Hit By A Truck is about Bob and his wife. And of course as usual the rest of the songs are telling the life of Tex.[citation needed]
