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: Written by Michael Weldon, The Psychotronic Encyclopedia Of Film is the A-to-Z weirdo/bizarre movie guide/bible. It is the movie reference book for the best of the worst and the worst of the best. My copy is held together with duct tape. I assume it is out of print ‘cause a new one on Amazon will set you back 150 big ones. Used copies are way cheaper, but they might look like mine. Weldon also put out a magazine called Psychotronic Video from 1989 to 2006. He now has a website.
