This is a short (6 minute) documentary movie of the origins of Hayseed Dixie and Rockgrass. In the music business, everybody these days is expected to have what is called an EPK (short for Electronic Press Kit). That means, instead of mailing out a cardboard folder with a biography page, 8 x 10 pictures, and clippings of press that say how great the band is, everybody these days is expected to send out a DVD which includes a biography, cool still pictures suitable for printing, and press clippings which say how great the band is. Anyway, this is our interpretation of the whole "EPK" genre. It's a good story.
Ace of Spades video
Here's the video we shot (we did it all ourselves and edited it on a PowerMac G4 laptop) for our first UK / Scandinavian single. Unfortunately, it's not released in the US and Canada yet; in the UK / Europe the song is on the album "Let There Be Rockgrass."
Controversy:
This poster design, reproduced for you in JPEG form by clicking the link below, was an attempt by Barley Scotch & the Hayseed Dixie boys to put their own unique slant on the promotion of responsible alcohol use. They were heartbroken when the alcohol industry (among others) scorned their efforts. "I can't see why they didn't want to use it on every billboard in the country," says Barley Scotch. "Hell, this poster's HONEST!" Suitable for framing . . .
