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,
oh and a few other.......

Doc
Cletus Brown - Hollerin' and Harp
Ex-Motorcross
star, Doc Brown was one of the founding 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 Mouth Harps. With loose bits that choke him... |

Big
Brad Stanton - Geetar and Backin' Hollerin'
After being rescued
from the swamps where he was raised by a family of alligators, Brad
is now semi-civilised and almost potty trained. Whilst in a local
seedy watering hole Brad, Doc and Jack Daniels decided to form a
band paying homage to Brad's adopted parents. The rest as they say
is history......
Weapons of choice: Fender Strat, ESP LTD EC-1000 Deluxe, some old
battered semi acoustic, Peavey ValveKing. Oh! and a large bath tub...... |

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, Peavey Wolfgang, Kramer Pacer,
Blagged Peavey Amps, Lager and Crisps. |

Elrod
Delmont - Backbeat and Backin' Hollerin'
Resident
lunatic, ED 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". Elrod
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 here....
Weapons
of choice: Some big drums and lots of sticks. |
