Southern Culture on the Skids Credit: Jim Leatherman
If classic 1960s garage rock were to be pickled in unhinged Southern-fried blues, that would land in the wheelhouse (tractor-house?) of Southern Culture on the Skids.
A mashup of Americana, gonzoid proto-punk and country rock, the band has churned out hits like “Camel Walk” and “Fried Chicken and Gasoline” from their 1995 album Dirt Track Date, as well as “Run Baby Run,” from their pandemic-era release, At Home With Southern Culture on the Skids.
With more than 30 years of playing together, the band have performed seemingly everywhere for everyone: from normie late-night talk show audiences to North Carolina correctional facility inmates to, of course, gangs of clued-in freaks here in Orlando.
Composed of bassist Mary Huffs, guitarist Rick Miller and drummer Dave Hartman, the North Carolina-based band is on an extensive touring road trip that will bring them back to Will’s Pub — much to the delight of our local freak contingent.
7 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 18, Will’s Pub, 1042 N. Mills Ave., willspub.org, $30.
