SoCal Fans, some of you might have recently seen the Shakey\u2019s Pizza ad using our tune \u201c8 Piece Box\u201d. It is in fact Southern Culture on the Skids playing the song – Rick had to actually go in and recut some vocals and hit a quick remix for the \u201cMojo Potatoes\u201d line. Not a problem \u2014 Rick actually enjoyed the trip down memory lane!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He remembers eating at Shakey\u2019s Pizza when he was a kid, \u201cIt\u2019s where you went after your Little League games for the team chow down\u201d he also remembers the atmosphere, \u201cto me, Shakey\u2019s had a mix of barbershop quartet and Dixieland Jazz styles going on. The employees wore straw hats and stripped red shirts. How that added up to pizza was beyond me – but it was fun to go there, I always looked forward to it. My parents seemed to like it too – that might have been the Dixieland\/Barbershop Quartet vibe – that was more in their wheelhouse. Later in my new wave skinny tie phase I actually found what I think was an old Shakey\u2019s Pizza stripped shirt at a thrift store. I bought it thinking it might look pretty cool in a new stylistic context but it was 100% polyester and I could never get that Shakey’s smell out of it. That polyester can hold a funk!  But what do you expect a shirt to smell like after an 8 hour shift next to a pizza oven!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a short \u201cmaking of\u201d video Rick did at The Kudzu Ranch while he was working on the Shakey\u2019s mix!<\/p>\n\n
