The deVillebillies were conceived after an all night Old Milwaukee party on the redwood deck of a dilapidated Airstream trailer. Just another drunken idea, or stroke of genius? Either way, this ain't your Daddy's Caddy. Realizing that most top 40 cover bands made better tranquilizers than roadhouse rockers, these boys knew they needed to add a little "turbo" to the "twang."
Playing to capacity crowds of 30+ people nightly, they honed their musical skills in the tough honky-tonks of Nashvegas. After realizing their $200 pay for the night wouldn't cover their $300 bar tab, they all cashed in the aluminum cans laying around their yards, and bought a truck to hit the road & bring the trailer park party to your city.
So, as long as the truck keeps running, the beer keeps flowing, and people like you want to hear real country music made by real people, dVb will be coming to a honky-tonk, or roadhouse near you.
