Gary loves Kenny as new gritty britty song makes debut in Bakersfield tonight - By N.L. Belardes

Just prior to the day of the world’s final viewing of Buck Owens, there will be a scandalous performance at McGee’s in the Ice House. That’s tonight, Friday night. Oh sure, Brit Pop, dreampop, alternative lounge, unlucky London Llama Jammas—whatever you want to call it, it is not country music. And I don’t think there is going to be a Buck Owen’s tribute, which is scandalous in itself. Although, let me point out that tonight the scandals reign supreme in this steakhouse with an attitude. Oh yes, The Dalloways are going to launch their epic controversy in song with a ditty titled, “Kenny Filthy”. That comes just a few weeks after Dirty Spanglish covered the Filthies, “Donut Shop” at a local Bakersfield Frosty King burger joint.





I held back in a recent interview with Kenny Mount in Buck City Episode 31. I could have started the whole Dalloways-Filthies war there—and probably should have—as the tensions are mounting over just what Gary Enns might say in a nearly 8-minute britty gritty rock opera about one of Bakersfield’s own rural rock punk kingpins. Just what could be said? What kind of lyrics is Gary pouring over? and what scandalous news does he have about Kenny ‘Motor’ Mount that an exposing piece of music is the result?

I’m showing up. I thought the student protest was near riotous today, but tonight if Kenny Mount steps foot into McGees, we could see some kind of tragic episode…

Here’s the press release I was tipped off with:
