Q-South Original Demo Tape


This is the original Demo from Q-south released in 1991. I think 500 were made,not sure. The horrible art on the cover was drawn by the band. This demo was primitive, but brutal and features the best of what the band was and what was to come. It was a reaction to the state of music at the time and I think it still holds up. All of the songs made it to the debut C.D. in 97 but "The Spirit of Rain" and "Silent Enragement" are the same recordings. If you wish wake up old ghosts click here www.cdbaby.com/cd/qsouth

1st Gig Live from Fitzgerald's in Rockaway Beach


In 1976 I wrote my first tune "Gold in the City" with Joe "Skins"Brady. Joe took this photo on the left. Our first rehearsal was tough because we sucked, but we ended up playing a real gig at Fitzgerald's in Rockaway Beach 1984. Joe"Skins"Brady is on the kit in the picture on the right the band was called Wire! Joe now plays on Broadway, I play with myself!

Nobody's (and now we all are)


I found this ticket from the early 90's. Some guy left me a message about the club and I dug this up.This is for the original 200 people who followed us everywhere we went. I know, I wouldn't be able to still make music if I didn't have the support of the original Q-South audience. Now let's see what the fuck we can do with the future!
