1) The Bills (New Orleans, LA) Delinquent Horror Surf Their music is based not only on old school, drive-in films, but also a life of crime. It is whispered that every time the intro to 'Straight From the Gutter' is played, a bum is brutally stabbed in an alleyway. Described as 'A brute gang of juvenile motor heads who tune their rods to the horror-surf of the beat from the streets', The Bills exist in a world of the past. Chains break teeth, blades break skin, and rubber coats the pavement as this sadistic gang of criminal musicians bust out snare pops and guitar riffs coated with a creepy echoing twang.

The band consists of Marc Atkinson (Mandolin/Guitar), Adrian Dolan (Accordion/Fiddle), Chris Frye (Guitar/Voice), Scott White (Upright Bass), Jeremy Penner (Fiddle) and Richard Moody (Violin). Drawing musical inspiration from a broad range of North American traditions, a melange of European stlyings, rhythms of Latin America, and melodies of the wandering Romany peoples, The Bills have forged a musical style all their own.In 2006, they won a Western Canadian Music Award for Entertainer of the Year.
