I kept thinking, it must be some other melvins like a country band but apparently not!
This is a great lineup. Slim Cessna's Auto Club, Munly & the Lupercalian's, JD Wilkes, and Those Poor Bastards are all fantastic. I imagine the Melvins connection is Alternative Tentacles, as SCAC and Legendary Shack Shakers (JD Wilkes) are both on that label. I'd love to go to this.
Del McCoury is a fantastic bluegrass band, saw them at the grand ole opry.
I'd go to see whiskey dick. my own whiskey dick.
PS: weirdest line-up ever. allow me to be the first to suggest adding "okee from Muskogee" to the set list.
Three hour drive from the captain's base, just hope it's not that Friday (Sabbath in Indiana.). I have to assume there's going to be a tour linked to this, maybe a Nashville or even a Louisville date mixed in.
Where's Hank III & Jason and the Scorchers?
8-[ :D

Oh, and since Buzz&Dale are on the bill.
Where the FUX is EHG?! =P~
That's awesome. I know J.D. & The Shack Shakers are Melvins fans. Brett the drummer told me they'd like to tour with the Melvins, this was like 5 yrs ago when I saw them last and Denison was in the band. Going to see them in a few months, been a long wait.

I was kind of disappointed with Southern Surreal, but they're still fantastic live.
Yeah, interested to see what other LSS fans think of Southern Surreal. I thought Agridustrial was over the top and awesome after the Yep Roc trilogy. This new one has some very good & well written songs, just not the typical insanity you'd expect w/ LSS.
So I guess they have matured somewhat. I look forward to hearing the new songs live, and seeing them rock out the old classics.

Wish I could see flat duo jets with Melvin's, would be friggin awesome. Here's some links for those who aren't familiar with dex

This has to be a Pinkus on banjo gig, right?
I would love to see "those poor bastards".
"the monsters" and "reverend beat man" are two of the best known garage rock exports from switzerland. beat-man is the boss of the "voodoo rhytm records" http://www.voodoorhythm.com/.

You should check out the Legendary Shack Shakers. They're like a modern day Jesus Lizard. I don't know what JD Wilkes solo stuff is like though.
This might be an awesome festival if you want to go. I'll look into it more when it's closer to September.

They both have energetic frontmen, but they don't sound anything alike. JD's solo stuff is more blue-grassy than LSS.

This song sounds a lot like TJL and had Duane playing on the entire album.

They'll be playing Saturday, September 3rd at 11:00 pm.

Hopefully they'll be playing more shows in the area.
Whiskey Dick is really good too.
Roots, Muddy Roots

We'll see what's happening in September. If I'm living in Atlanta or close to it I won't be making many TN trips, but we'll see.

I know. I saw them on that tour. I still think if you go to a LSS show expecting to hear something Jesus Lizardesque, you'll be sorely disappointed. Especially now. I saw them a few month's ago, and while still super fun, they didn't play with that intensity.
I wonder where that started, saying LSS sounds like TJL. That's laughable, why, because the guitarist was in both bands? Nobody sounds like The Jesus Lizard :P. LSS is just killer, high energy roots-rock. I love J.D.'s other band The Dirt Daubers too. Their last album "Wild Moon" was outstanding.
I was kind of surprised to see where they're playing here in in April, smaller than any place I've seen them before. I'm sure the place will be packed, but in my mind I thought they'd be playing bigger clubs by now. Then again, taking 5 yrs off might have something to do with it.
Edit/add:
Also on LSS - anyone know what happened to Mark Robertson on bass? Was he playing with them the last few months? There's a new live vid on their FB with a younger, new bassist. All they said in the comments was that's our new guy.
Mark is awesome. I'm hoping he didn't get the boot, and just has some priorities this spring.
