The DeFibulators are a 6-piece country-swing band with great harmonies, an upright bass, a washboard player, a fiddler, and more. On their MySpace page they describe themselves as Hee Haw on Mescaline.

They were at the Gowanus Go Green Festival today and they put me in a great mood and I fell in love with their sound. The New York Times had this to say:

No yee-haws or any other hoots or yawps were held back a few nights earlier at a show by the Defibulators at the Rodeo Bar on Third Avenue, which styles itself a honky-tonk oasis in Manhattan, with Lone Star beer, peanuts by the basket and free country and rockabilly every night. The Defibulators, from Brooklyn, are quintessential Rodeo Bar. Like a hoedown band from a Warner Brothers cartoon, they played raucous and slightly surreal “whackabilly,” as they describe it, and featured two washboard percussionists, one in crimson long johns, the other in a Viking helme

Check ’em out. They play all over the place.
