Inside the Filthy Lair for a song from 'Rare' - by N.L. Belardes

Rural Rock Punksters, The Filthies have a new cd coming out soon titled, Rare. I had the pleasure of joining them in the studio for a listen to two of their new bovine cd tunes. Here I was in the heart of the new rural rock punk movement, listening to the creative energy flow as lead man Kenny 'Motor' Mount bantered with guitarist Gus, bass player Kelly, and veteran punk drummer, Eric 'Guppy' Bonilla. The filthy jokes were flying, the music was just as catchy as ever, only with a slightly harder edge that sent the punk flying through the room in swooning echoes where punk meets rural meets rock, just neatly tucked away in downtown Bakersfield, CA...

We soon left the Filthy Lair for a brief visit to B2 Studios. Sharon was inside fiddling with a few new Filthies tracks. But then Kenny talked her into playing a ragtime Muskrat song for us on a nearby keyboard. Embarrassed at first, she worked the keyboards while Kenny drummed along. Sharon's mother was a yodeler from yesteryear. We saw a few streaming clips of her mom yodeleeedohaadeeeuhheeeeyodeleeeooo-in', then called it a night.






matildakay was around to check out the filthy sounds...
