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!

Solo or So Low?

The shows in October were great especially in Philadelphia at Grape Street (with Ang & Ris and their truely beautiful music) www.grapestreetpub.com. I ran into WXPN program director Dan Reed, www.xpn.org stand up cat.I met Frank Moore(Producer) and Philadelphia musician John Francis www.johnfrancismusic.com in front of Grape Street 2 guys who seem to be going in a good direction.Thanks for the song requests.The chair is comfortable and I'm smiling because I know that we are all here to Go (the existentialist nightmare = death the great equalizer) I'm not here for a long time, I'm here for a good time! ............ ahhh what can you do?

Were You at Q-Stock 1994?

Q-Stock 1994 Charles Park Howard Beach N.Y Did you attend this outdoor fund raiser featuring Q-South,Kid Clarke and the ?'s and Sworn Enemy? This event was sponsored by Jimmy Dowd and The QBA!

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!

Politicians are not, and will never be.. Cool!

"Horses don't bet on people and neither do I" and for anyone at a future performance who wants to give a political rant, wake up with one of these...............Oh yeah get off your soap box and take out a bar and wash.You got the wrong Mother Hubbard!

It's Hank!

I've been asked at the website a shitload of times "Who is that introducing the band before the song Kiss It Up to God on The One and Lonely C.D."? It is the same person who speaks after The Great Goodbye, Mr. Henry Charles Bukowski! Both Bukowski and Fante(The Brotherhood of the Grape,Ask the Dust) have influenced my music. I suggest reading them both........If you have the nuts. Literature, like film is filled with people praised for mediocrity so when you encounter something with true genius it becomes consuming. Bukowski writes the most beautiful poetry I've ever read. He is notorious for his bottle tilting, but that has nothing to do with the blunt,magically poignant lines he has put to paper. Liking Bukowski for his drinking is equivalent to liking Dali for his moustache.
