St.James Clothing meets Walker and The Brotherhood

Live this Saturday Night April 22nd Jimmy Dowd and his tribe of lunatics host Walker and the boys at Crash Mansion 199 Bowery New York N.Y. The band will feature Eddy Joe on Bass and Geoff Unger and Rob Rizzo on guitars. holding down the whole thing will be Eddie Ace on Drums this is a bash that should not be missed!

The name of the band comes from this novel by John Fante. There really was no band in the beginning, I asked musicains that I knew to contribute to a C.D. that became "Almost Homeless" sticking with the rotating group of musicians allowed for the mixing of styles. I have no idea who will play on the next one, but Eddy Joe and Ron Zabrocki have offered their skills and it seems like a good place to start. The past becomes old photograph's of people I once knew and I give thanks most of it(the past) is finished,I prefer to look ahead.

We are all here to go.

On a birthday, one has the tendency to examine one's life. I am never satisfied. The writer Charles Bukowski's tombstone and epitaph say it best, devoid of pretense and typical flowery poetic language. I'd like to make a toast "Here is to the Genuinely Disatisfied". I going to Aqueduct and try to forget about all the ambitious go-getters. Remember "horses don't bet on people and neither do I"

Billy Jack

I just finished watching the Billy Jack Collection given to me by a friend. It reminded me of how much I hate Politicians, Corporate America and Ambitious Go-Getters. Tom Loughlin www.BillyJack.com was and is a genuine American Hero and middle finger to all the shit thrown at us, especially in a time of war. What a great film! Keep on Keeping on, and do your own thing. I wish this guy was President.

Bar-Humbug Video

In 2003 Walker and the Brotherhood with the help of Producer Ron Zabrocki and the Queens Bar All-star's recorded a Christmas C.D entitled "Bar-Humbug" to raise money for Cancer Charities. In 2005 a video for the song "Christmas in the Caribbean" was shot by director Steven Bozga to keep the Charity work alive. To see the video stop here www.firelanedigital.com or to pick up a copy of the original C.D www.cdbaby.com/cd/botg2 Bar-Humbug and the video that accompanies we both done in honor of the memory of our departed friend and supporter Fran Murray.

The Q.B.A gets Jazzy with Terry!

This is Terry Reid! This man made some of the greatest recordings I have ever heard. Recently in Piermont N.Y. The Q.B.A (Queens Bar All-Stars) and me ran into the underground music legend himself. I traded stories and the Q.B.A traded whiskey! Do yourself a favor and pick up "Seed of Memory" or "Bang Bang" and hear what real Rock and Soul singers sound like!

The Last Soca Show

I really had a great time performing in the Caribbean. When the "New" New Yorkers were smoking the dirt they bought in Washington Square Park to accompany the Bob Marley greatest hits C.D they bought at Tower Records, I was living and performing with the best of Trinidad and Tobago and Jamaica. What luck I've had to share the stage with these bands and artist's. The last show I did in Trinidad was in July and the last in Brooklyn was at the Elite Ark. Here are some pictures from the show. This is part of Machel's Alternative Concept 3. I am releasing a collection of songs in December and then I will gracefully bow out. I want to sing songs for the lonely and generally dissatisfied and watch my kids grow.

Thad-Rock is King!

The Brotherhood of the Grape's pal and Queen's Bar All-Star Thaddeus Schneider is making his way to the bigtime. Thad-Rock's hard work has led him to a new role as a police officer in an upcoming T.V. pilot called "Skels". Thaddeus is playing the role of "John" 1 of 3 brothers in the New York based drama. The band wishes him luck and more success in the future. Thad-Rock and the Brotherhood go together like a dog and a summer side-walk!

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
