Art for my cousin Zach's band Sloppy Dragon Jackknife. Them and some other bands are playing a benefit show for him tonight, as he was just in a major car accident and is hospitalized with a head injury. His parents also have a gofundme for his medical bills, if anyone would like to donate.

have you ever heard of the band MS paint? i saw them in my home town a couple months ago and I think they're from hattiesburg! they were real good live i liked them a lot

Everyone knows everyone in Hattiesburg! I never heard them live, but I've heard them on Youtube.

My favorite bands I saw in Hattiesburg were Sloppy Dragon Jackknife, Devastantem, and Mattie and the Yurts, but there's so many good local bands that it's hard to keep track (which is amazing when the local scene only has about 50 musicians.) My uncle Scott Panther's band Amazing Energy is pretty wild, they don't practice, just take lots of psychedelics and improvise. I have some older local bands on my Youtube page, but I don't have the White Trash Supermen on there, or the Stumpgrinders, which I also recommend highly.

Hello! I saw your Hattiesburg comic and gonna ask. Do you know anything else abt the Hattiesburg punk scene? I’ve been having a hard time finding anything going on pink related

The best shows are at the Tavern and the Switchyard, but right now all the best bands are broken up because we're all struggling. Devastantem broke up because JJ's bandmates were mad about the way he treats girls, Zach Ross (lead guitarist/mastermind of Sloppy Dragon Jackknife) is recovering from major brain damage after a suicide attempt. I actually just got three friends to agree to start practicing but we haven't met up yet. Three people in the local scene died from suicide in the last year or so, so it's been hard for everyone. Plankers and the Two by Fours got "cancelled" because when Plankers was in high school and turned 18, he didn't break up with his 16 year old girlfriend (they had been together for three years by that point.) These kids look for any reason to tear apart musicians they think are better or more successful than them, and it's something that's been going on in Mississippi a long time (even Elvis Presley sold "I Hate Elvis" pins.) If it was the 50's they would probably "cancel" us for being satanic and playing black music.

I know Gatorfight also got cancelled, supposedly for something their guitarist did, but I can't remember what it was cause I remember thinking it was complete bullshit - they're one of the most popular bands, and when everyone in a small southern town knows you, they start making shit up, and lots of idiots believe it, cause we got lots of idiots. Luckily like me, they are also more popular on the internet, so they're still recording stuff and doing one show a year. One day I dream of opening for them 😻

Genuinely the social dynamics fucking suck here, I'm dreaming of making it big so we can have our own venue where we prioritize the music and not the popularity contest.
