Here’s a great interview of Southern Culture on the Skids (a.k.a. “SCOTS”) frontman Rick Miller.
I love reading Miller explain how SCOTS is forging its own way in the music industry. You can tell by watching them play that Miller and the band truly love what they do – and that makes a SCOTS show such a blast.
Southern Culture On The Skids – guitarist Rick Miller, bassist Mary Huff and drummer Dave Hartman, plus recent recruit Tim Barnes on second guitar – is a North Carolina institution, Tarheel rock ‘n’ roll ambassadors determined to preach the gospel as espoused in that none-too-subtle, ever-evocative moniker. Put another way, their goddam reputation precedes them, and folks coming out to a SCOTS show aren’t there because they want to furrow their brows and ponder the deep metaphysics of life itself (well, unless you’re talking some esoteric Duane Eddy, Dick Dale or Tony Joe White musical reference; then you’re welcome to go deep). No, they’re there to shake their asses, and maybe toss a few chunks of fried chicken back and forth like crispy brown frisbees.
