Chris Bess

Chris “Cousin Crispy” Bess is an extremely large guy with musical skill to match his stature. A good keyboardist, particularly within the Hammond B-3, and just as gifted within the guitar, Bess 1st made an appearance on people’s radar when he became a member of Southern Culture within the Skids for the group’s second Geffen Information release, Plastic Chair Perspiration, in 1997. When SCOTS stripped right down to a trio for mainly economic factors, Bess continued to create the all-instrumental five-piece known as Killer Filler, which also included guitarists Bryon Negotiate and Pete Gamble with Tag Murphy on drums and Rusty Miller on bass. Killer Filler specific in the classic 1960s Memphis spirit and California browse noises that Bess was constantly interested in, tossing in a few twang, funk, lounge, and golf swing elements aswell. Imagine a mix between the Endeavors, Booker T. & the MG’s, as well as the Meters led by among the largest males you’ve ever noticed traveling an explosive, party-filled stage display and the selling point of Killer Filler turns into obvious.
