DEKE DICKERSON
If you haven’t heard Deke Dickerson, then you haven’t heard the finest rockabilly/country/surf picker this side of the Mississippi. Far more than just a rockabilly revivalist, he pushes the envelope by expertly drawing from virtually every 20th-century musical genre: country, rhythm and blues, western swing, rockabilly, surf instrumentals, ghostly ballads, and pedal-to-the-metal rock 'n' roll. He plays a double-neck Mosrite on a couple tunes, and a futuristic double-neck baritone guitar with blinking lights that looks like it came off an old Star Trek set on another song. It’s beyond cool.

THE FAMOUS
Girded by the raw sounds of '50s-era country, but imbued with the spirit of The Pixies and other post-punk pioneers, The Famous forge powerful tunes that combine the intense desperation of X, the sincere melancholy of Hank Williams Sr. and the interstellar psychobilly of the Reverend Horton Heat.

"...practically everyone who's listened to the band's cheese-free, slightly punkified hillbilly jangle thinks it's the greatest." -- SF Weekly
