The Platoon.....

Thrown together by circumstances beyond their control. "The Dirty South" comprises of 6 wayward strays who would no doubt be in the nearest jail if it weren't for the love of boogie and bourbon.......

CC Daniels - Hollerin'

Ex-Motorcross star, CC Daniels is one of the more laid back members of the band. After having to put his biking career on hold after a nasty accident, he decided to retire and concentrate on getting drunk and singing instead. The bike is in the pawn shop and a new shiny set of harmonicas has been aquired.

Weapons of choice: Mic and Beer...

Earl T Clayton - Geetar, Mandolin and Backin' Hollerin'

Earl was found lurkin around in the dirtiest of bars and clubs with no cash in his pocket and a strange smell of petrol hanging over him. After a hosing down and sobering up we threw him on a stage. He plays a mean geetar and drinks cheap whiskey to keep his hollerin voice in check. He hasn't paid for any of his guitars.

Weapons of choice: Donated Gibson SG, Stolen Telecaster, Gifted Mandolin, Marshall Amp. No fancy effects or any of that digital trickery!

Rev JJ Jackson - Low Down Geetar and Backin' Hollerin'

Singer slayer, Jackson has a history of dead band buddies who have all suffered in the line of duty. With a reputation for being the hardest rumble player in the world to work with, we recruited him instantly.
So far, we have all survived by keeping him plied with smokes and booze. Only time will tell......

Weapons of choice: The baddest bass in the world and the loudest backline ever built.

Waylon Hedge - Geetar and Backin' Hollerin'

Since Blind Dog Jefferson managed to find his way back home, we have enlisted another member to the posse. Having convinced the parol board that he is completely rehabilitated via forged psychiatrist letters and a note from his mum. We are slightly scared of putting him on a stage, given his destructive nature and short fuse, but so long as he only breaks his own geetars we will be fine.

Weapons of choice: Gibbo Les Paul, Kramer Pacer, Blagged Peavey Amps, Lager and Crisps.

Dakota Poggit - Geetar and Chickens

From so far out west that nobody will give him a lift to gigs, Dakota Poggit can be found tending to his chickens and dancing round his totem pole on a weekend off. We're sure his trike will get him to gigs on time though. Even if it does have a rag for a gas cap...

Weapons of choice: Hagstrom Guitars, Vox Amps, Silly scarves.

 

Rebel Wade Linton - Backbeat and Backin' Hollerin'

Resident lunatic, "Lil' Ardubya" has drummed with them all. Sadly this has reflected on his sanity and frequent visits to his padded cell are required. He is also the driver of the black truck in "Duel". RW agreed to join us after a drunken conversation in a shady local bar. He didn't know what he had agreed to and we didn't let him back out. There is a lesson for us all there....

Weapons of choice: Some big drums and lots of sticks.
