Southern Culture on the Skids

Thursday, Dec. 3 @ Caledonia Lounge

A little bit punk, a little bit psychobilly and a lot bit camp, North Carolina’s Southern Culture on the Skids have been dishing out hearty helpings of their lewd, groovy tunes since the mid-1980s, releasing a new album every couple years along the way. The three-piece—Rick Miller on guitar and vocals, Mary Huff on bass and vocals and Dave Hartman on drums—poke fun at Southern stereotypes while also immersing themselves in the region’s multigenerational mystique. The balance is best observed on tunes like perennial crowd favorite “Camel Walk,” where Miller’s narrator manages to name-drop Little Debbie as he hungers for a sexed-up Southern belle.
