Southern Culture on the Skids have been holding down the fort of surf, rockabilly, R&B, and psych-garage stomp for going on 32 years now. I used to write about the cheeky North Carolina trio on the reg when I lived in the Tampa Bay area (they came through frequently), but you don’t see their name much up in these Northwest climes. Their subject matter is definitely heavy on sex, food, drinking, and getting down—seedy Southern gothic backwoods hick culture is on full display, along with plenty of cheekiness. (You’ve likely heard their sole known hit “Camel Walk”—"You make me wanna walk… like a camel.”) This feels like a perfect Labor Day show. by Leilani Polk
