Sheriff Perkins One Man Band sings, picks the guitar and kicks the drum in the unexplored territories of rockabilly-country-hardcore!!!
Montreuil, june 2013, © Benoît Fatou
He started performing as a one man band in July of 2005. He sings, plays guitar and uses his feet to kick a snare drum as well as a bass drum, the latter equipped with a twin bass drum pedal, which he doesn't play a great deal, but looks good for showing off.
His music randomly blends vague rockabilly with lazy Country Music, folding the whole thing in an opportunist Garage Punk packaging able to puzzle the most indulgent of the critics.
So far he's released a LP and two 7 inches, the last one being a split record with Thee Mysterious Asthmatic Avenger, appeared in a few compilations and played nearly 300 concerts in France and Europe, anywhere he could display his lousy technicity and his poor musical taste.
And like it's not enough, he's been singing and playing guitar from 2011 to 2013 in a garage punk band dubiously named Dead Kadhafis. He also plays upright bass in the three-piece old time string band The Hog's Trotters and released a freely downloadable grindcore EP under the no less improper name of Anal Vega. And like it's still not enough, he has been heard claiming he was planning to change into a singing pickle and produce educative kiddy country music songs as Sheriff Pickle while forming Blvck Svbbvth, a HBM (acronym for Happy Black Metal) one man band.
It's needless to say, he's not even remotely a real sheriff.
