Southern Culture on the Skids, SCOTS to the faithful, hail from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, where they got going in 1983. They put out an EP called Voodoo Beach Party in 1984 and a self-titled album the next year, then shuffled the lineup after deciding they didn't quite know where they were headed. What came back out the other side was a gloriously trashy mash of styles, the kind of band that treats a thrift-store record bin as a sacred text.
The core of Rick Miller, Mary Huff and Dave Hartman gives the whole thing its greasy swing, and Plastic Seat Sweat, from 1997, is a perfect title for the results: sticky, sweaty and a little bit tacky in the best possible way. "House of Bamboo" is its party piece, a swinging, tiki-lounge romp that sounds like it was recorded somewhere between a drive-in and a fish fry.
