We’ll be playing all 3 days of this year’s Bama Jam! The fest takes place on 600 acres in Enterprise, AL. Headliners include Kenny Chesney, Miranda Lambert, Hank Williams Jr., Robert Earl Keen, Buddy Guy, and more!
Check out the insane artist lineup of BAMA JAM!
We’ll be heading down there with our friends Stuckey & Murray, kicking off a 2 week tour of the South, including a little stretch of Gulf Coast known as the “Redneck Riviera.” Road trip anyone?!!!
We are honored to be a included in a new music series developed by Barking Irons, one of the most innovative clothing designers in New York. Produced in partnership with Phearcreative, the series is called The Collect, which features acoustic sets and interviews with musicians, who are first lured to the Barking Irons studio on Bowery with fine spirits and finer threads. We tried on some great BI apparel (Erin sported a prototype dress), and chewed the fat about country music, long-johns, and Hee-Haw, while somehow managing to down an entire bottle of Fernet Branca. We then played a paired down, acoustic set, with only Bug, Bru, Roadblock, and Metallbelly. The whole concept is awesome and we had a hell of a time. Other artists who participated in the series include Justin Townes Earle, Bobby Bare Jr., and more.

It’s good to see the Irish and Italians finally working together.
This week an informative interview with the Defibs was featured in The Deli Magazine.
The inquisition was conducted by hillbilly scholar extraordinaire, and DeLorean enthusiast, Chris Nelson.

We are pleased to say that the Defibs are now teaming up with Charisma Artist Agency for all booking. We caught up with the gals in Austin and after intense negotiations over a picnic table and a few sixpacks of Shiner Bock, we decided to get into bed together and seal the deal. The truckbed, that is. We are very excited to be working with this great group of agents and joining their awesome roster.

Razor sharp harmonies and surreal lyrics illuminate songs that are gritty and witty; spinning tales of deception, debauchery, depleted bank accounts, fanaticism, vintage firearms, biological anomalies, airline intoxication, and animal ennui.
Produced by John Hill (SANTIGOLD) and Terrence Bernardo (TAXI TAXI), mixed by D. James Goodwin (MURDER BY DEATH, CAMPHOR), and mastered by Greg Calbi at Sterling Sound, The Defibulators’ debut album, Corn Money, captures the sonic spectacle The Defibulators have become known for at their live shows while creating a captivating and unique sound all its own. The album is available now for download on itunes, amazon, napster, emusic, and on other digital music sites. Hard copies of the album can be ordered exclusively through this website’s online store and at live shows. The album recently received an honorable mention on Robert Christgau’s Consumer Guide on MSN Music (May 2009). To see other reviews click HERE.
