'Legendary Northern Pirates' (Danse Macabre) that sometimes play country music as played by people who can't play country & end up like Motorhead in a methedrine melee mauling Tex & The Horseheads
The 'Cuntry-Punk Legends' (Liam Revenge) who ail aboard The Good Ship 'Bow have played with such legends as The Kings of Nuthin', Th' Legendary Shack*Shakers, The Deadstring Brothers, Dan Sartain, Tyla (Dogs D'Amour), Thee Exit Wounds, Kid Voodoo, The Peacocks, Curtis Eller, Ed Tudorpole, The Vipers n' The Blunts (& also Ricky Warwick & Ted Leo & The Pharmacists in the past...) as well as The Surgens, Demob & Zombina & The Skeletones
