Where redneck meets punk — and kitsch collides with bitch — you’ll always find the Rude Street Peters! Once touted as “Knoxville’s drunkest band,” the Peters have enjoyed two decades of cult-like following.
With hits like “Snakesnatch” and “Stumbling Tumbleweeds,” the band continues to be a splinter in the eye of those who consider that all music should be for mass consumption. Put simply: They beligerantly don’t give a f$*& what you think.
From their site:
MOONSHINE SWILLIN’, DOPE SMOKIN’ PUNK ROCK FOR THE WHOLE FUCKIN’ FAMILY ! WITH THE I.Q. OF A RETARDED MULE AND THE LIVERS OF 49 GEORGE JONES’ , THE PETERS MAKE MUSIC THAT BELONGS IN A SNAKE HANDLIN’ CHURCH JUST AS MUCH AS IT’S AT HOME IN THE SMOKIEST OF DIVE BARS. BUY OUR SHIT HERE OR HERE.
So … Hey … Be there … Or don’t.
