Biography
Rock 'n' Roll ain't pretty and neither is Scott H. Biram. The self
proclaimed "Dirty Old One Man Band" successfully, and sometimes
violently, lashes together blues, hillbilly and country precariously to
raucous punk and godless metal.Biram ain't no dour ass
singer/songwriter either, sweetly strumming songs about girls with big
eyes and dusty highways. HELL NO!!! His singing, yodeling, growling,
leering and brash preachin' and hollerin' is accompanied by sloppy
riffs and licks from his 1959 Gibson guitar and pounding backbeat
brought forth by his amplified left foot. The remainder of this one-man
band consists of an unwieldy combination of beat-up amplifiers and old
microphones strung together by a tangled mess of guitar cables.Years
of compulsive touring, along with a steady diet of down and dirty
blues, rock, punk, country, and hillbilly have developed Scott H.
Biram's signature concoction, attracting a hefty array of fans who dig
the bizarre and twisted sides of the rock and roll spectrum. His live
shows unleash a Lemmy-sized metal attitude, a stomping, pulsing John
Lee Hooker-channeling, and cockeyed tales of black water baptisms and
murder, all while romanticizing the on-the-road lifestyle.Biram
has pounded the pavement (quite literally, actually), covering just
about every inch of the US, sharing co-bills with heavy-hitters
including Hank Williams III, Hasil Adkins, and Kris Kirstopherson.
After sharing a few tour dates, Nashville Pussy covered Biram's, "Raisin' Hell Again" on their 2005 release.Scott
H. Biram won’t die, either. On May 11th, 2003, one month after being
hit head-on by an 18-wheeler at 75 MPH, he took the stage at The
Continental Club in Austin, TX in a wheel chair--I.V. still dangling
from his arm. With 2 broken legs, a broken foot, a broken arm and 1
foot less of his lower intestine, Biram unleashed his trademark musical
wrath.When, less than a year later, Scott H. Biram took the
stage at his 2004 SXSW festival showcase right after Kris Kristofferson
he was quoted as growling "They said that was a hard act to follow...
I'm a hard act to follow, motherfuckers!!" The stunned crowd looked on.(From Bloodshot Records, 5/27/09)
