I don't really know a lot about them, but I know they've been around for a while. They have several albums out. They are from somewhere in the Carolinas, I think.
There are several songs which got moderate airplay on the more progressive radio stations. I remember one from about 5 years ago that went something like, "you make me want to walk like a camel."
They also had a song about banana pudding or something like that. Then there was a song too that went something like, "she's gettin' liqured up and lacqured down." I believe I also recently heard a song on the radio by them that went something like, "please get your big fat leg off of my face."

Great band, from Chapel Hill/Raleigh area. Funny how that area seems to be a spawning ground for great alternative country bands (Whiskeytown, Backsliders). You can read more about them at www.allmusic.com. Also, if you like that sorta music, you'd be doing yerself a favor by visiting www.spinner.com. D.load the player, and check out the Alt. country channel. It's a breath of fresh air from the glossy pop that Music Row has been serving up for years now. I listen to it all the time.

They used to sound like a southern version of Creedence Clearwater Revival meets the Cramps, lots of amped up hillbilly action, and yeah 'Banana Puddin' is a classic.
They've been around for twenty years or so, although I didn't catch on to them until they signed with Geffen Records in the mid 1990s.
I thought Mary was really a chick, but kinda rough like and macho in a Betty Page way, geez she couldn't be a guy could she?
Their 'Plastic Seat Sweat' CD from few years ago was magnificent, although their latest has kind of dissapointed some people I know as it's a lot more laid back and countryish with less wild backbeat and yowling.
