Movies!

Check out Mary (as Loretta) & Dave (as Conway Twitty) doing "As Soon As I Hang Up The Phone" in the "Hey Loretta Hillbilly Hoedown & Pie Social" at the Continental Club in April 2012 in Austin TX (benefiting the SIMS Foundation). The show featured pretty much every honky tonk gal in Austin singin' Loretta songs and bringin' pie! Mary & Dave got up and did "As Soon as I Hang Up the Phone", then Mary did "Blue Kentucky Girl". And Mary won Marti Brom's incredible cherry pie in the pie auction! SCOTS followed this Monday night with a week of shows at the Continental Club. Wow, Austin knows how to throw a shindig!

Wow!! SCOTS primo amigo Fred Kirckhoff made a music video for "It's the Music that Makes Me"!!! He went so far as to create a turntable made up of cement mixer parts and air raid siren parts from 3 Mile Island! Note that no teens were harmed in the making of this video! Li'l Mary is played by Olivia and li'l Rick is played by MacKenzie! Meghan and Brittany are on drums and guitar, respectively. This is 100% BAD ASS!!!

 

This is from Sleazefest '94 — the hottest, sweatiest, greasiest, raunchiest music fest around. It took place in the dawg days of August at the Local 506 in Chapel Hill, NC. Southern Culture On The Skids invited Hasil Adkins, the hillbilly wild man, up to perform his signature song, "Hubcap Hunch".

C'MON EVERYBODY, LET'S GET ZOMBIFIED!!

Zombified!! Zombified, Southern Culture On The Skids’ tribute to the horror and exploitation movies that populated Southern theaters and drive-ins during the 60s and 70s, is out now on Kudzu Records. Originally released in Australia as an eight song EP in 1998, the Zombified Extended Release is now a full LP with the addition of five new tunes, and will receive its first U.S. release September 27. It's available for now at SCOTS.com.

The new and improved Zombified has been re-mastered and re-packaged with cover art by Sean Starwars and design by Yee Haw industries. Rick Miller, guitarist and singer for the band said, “you know, the Zombified EP never had a proper U.S. release and the band is excited about it happening now as a full album.” The album is available in all formats, CD, digital download and LP. The LP is a limited edition of 1000 on blood red vinyl complete with CD inside! Zombified will be for sale this September in record stores, web stores and at scots.com.

"I was always attracted to low budget DIY films," said Miller. "Maybe it was the lurid posters and newspaper ads that sucked me in as a kid. Later, I got into the directors, like Mario Bava, Hershell Gordon Lewis and George Romero, to name just a few. They made some entertaining and pretty disturbing movies from way outside the mainstream. A big influence on my approach to making music!"

The band’s music is no stranger to horror/exploitation films. Previous SCOTS songs can be found in soundtracks like the Spanish psycho classic "Perdita Durango," directed by Alex de la Iglesia and starring future Academy Award winner Javier Bardem. In the teen screamer "I Know What You Did Last Summer" the band makes an on screen appearance playing "My Baby's Got The Strangest Ways." SCOTS also supplied the soundtrack to "Blood Feast II, Buffet of Blood," the sequel to HGL's original gore epic.
