↓↓↓About the VILLEBILLIES ↓↓↓
Hailing from Louisville, Kentucky, the Villebillies are the latest in a now rich lineage of credible artists from the south. A mighty crew numbering seven in all, they stand as a testament to the binding cohesiveness of great music. Ignoring genre boundaries the Villebillies cross-pollinate country and pop, hip hop and southern whiskey rock, and what's more they're clearly having a ball doing it - as their live shows have proved attracting a diverse yet dedicated fan base.
The Villebillies are a 21st century kind of phenomenon, infusing traditional instruments and backwater blues with a fresh and contemporary musical vision. That collective vision comes from an unorthodox culmination of two bands, the original line-up of the Villebillies, and local rock band Plan of Man, who both formed over a period of time through a variety of associations, and an assembly of old childhood friends and acquaintances. They now stand together as an unbreakable posse with a desire to write songs that reflect where they come from and where they're going in life. And that they do with aplomb, writing about experiences we can all relate to: life, death, love, hate, partying one night and being broke and hung over the next day. They're irreverent, funny and capable of relating your experiences to you with a deft touch that few can lay claim to.
"Talk about an album that'll knock your socks off, blow your mind, leave you breathless…this is that album."

It's odd, and at first you want to resist it, but you can't deny that Villebillies have not only infused banjos with what could be considered "urban" themes, but they've done it well.

the Villebillies achieve the perfect mix of hip-hop, country and Southern rock, none of it sounding contrived and all of it the perfect soundtrack for a bourbon-fueled night under a blue Kentucky moon.

With the September '06 release of their self titled debut album and over a year of non-stop touring under their belts the Villebillies have started to attract the kind of widespread adulation their legion of local fans have been aware of for far too long now. Through adversity and tribulation the Villebillies look poised to lap up the sort of acclaim they richly deserve.
The band is currently working on their next album. There is no release date as of right now but the band has offered a preview of what's to come with the internet release of two new singles, "One Shot" and "Stranger". You can listen to these new tracks right here at MySpace.com/VILLEBILLIES
