Anyone have any idea how long Southern Culture On The Skids has been around? Would you believe since 1983? Time flies. (Clever response: You cannot, they’re too erratic.) The current lineup of SCOTS features Rick Miller (the one constant since its inception) on guitar and vocals, bassist Mary Huff and drummer Dave Hartman. If you haven’t heard what they sound like, an educated guess that included Creedence Clearwater Revival, the Cramps, Tav Falco’s Panther Burns and Man Or Astro-Man? might be pretty close to the bone. The trio’s most recent album, Zombiefied (Kudzu), came out just in time for graves to open so the dead can have one last stagger around the countryside. Miller will be guest editing magnetmagazine.com all week. Read our brand new Q&A with him.
Miller: Barbara Steele is a unique-looking, sexy, strange British actress who was in a lot of creepy ’60s Italian horror movies. Black Sunday and The Horrible Doctor Hitchcock are her best known. Her characters always seemed to be married to psychopaths and necromaniacs—she held up well under torture and usually came back from the grave for revenge! She also worked with Fellini and David Cronenberg!
