Dierks Bentley Channels ’90s Country With Throwback Band Hot Country Knights

A new country “band” called Hot Country Knights is creating quite a buzz, and it’s not because of their epic mullets and ’90s inspired fashion. If you take a closer look, you’ll see a very familiar face… Dierks Bentley. That’s right – Bentley has an alter ego and it is AWESOME!

Dierks’ character in the band is Douglas “Big Rhythm Doug” Douglason. Rounding out the group is Trevor Travis, Barry Van Ricky, Shelton Van Ricky, Dillard “Monte” Montgomery, Cade “Bonesy” McCoy, Terotej “Terry” Dvoraczekinsky and Vinnie “Frenzy Fingers” Pompanell.

The alter ego is something Bentley’s been working on for quite some time. “I have a little alter ego,” Bentley told PEOPLE recently. “I’m working on a little something something with my guys in the band. It’s a little side project – a little bit of a ’90s country cover band. We specialize in ’90s country, which was a great era in country music.”

The band’s Facebook page is complete with promo photos and detailed bios of each band member. Check out Douglas “Big Rhythm Doug” Douglason’s bio below.

Douglas “Big Rhythm Doug” Douglason: Armed with his shockingly attractive mustache and mullet, Douglas “Doug” Douglason set out for the bright lights of Hollywood at age 18, sure to be the next big thing. However, as fate would have it, his fully functional diphallia turned out to be the up and coming trend in Silicone Valley. Known as “Big Rhythm” for his size, longevity, and steadiness of performance and working under the name “Dustin Strange,” Doug immediately became a hugely below average star in the adult-jpeg-straight-to-free-download-soft-core industry. Doug enjoyed all the highs and lows until a fateful “meeting” with “hand model” Monte Montgomery on the Nashville based set of “When Country Comes to Town” motivated him to reassess his priorities. A shared love of hand lotion and country music led the duo to swap low class broads for Lower Broadway. Big Rhythm spent the bulk of the 90’s playing weekly with Hot Country Knights. His current whereabouts are unknown.

Hot Country Knights will make their debut in Nashville at an invite-only show on February 25. For a little preview of what’s to come, check out the video below.
