the Mutant Mountain Boys

Bio:

What do you get when you combine a lifelong Devo-obsessed Spudgirl with a newfound love for banjo pickin' and oldtime music? .... Why, an oldtime Appalachian DEVO cover stringband, what else?! Complete with banjo, guitar, bass, washboard, spoons, vocals and harmony; missing only a fiddler! We've been at it for 3 consecutive years now. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ...and up there's us singing Love without Anger and Auto 'Hodown' ... ..
