The Beat Farmers
The Beat Farmers were an American band, which formed in San Diego, CA in August 1983, & enjoyed a cult following into the early 1990s before the death of drummer & sometime lead singer Country Dick Montana. Their music has been described as an amalgamation of cow punk, jangle pop, roots rock, hard-twang Americana, country rock, rockabilly, & swamp rock.
The San Diego Reader summed up their sound as …”like Bo Diddley, CCR, Joe South, & the Yardbirds, ham fisted into a food processor, stuffed into a shotgun shell, & blasted into a beer keg at three in the morning.”
