Walter Sickert & The Army of Broken Toys


About: Walter Sickert & The Army of Broken Toys

The band Walter Sickert and the Army of Broken Toys formed, members Walter Sickert and Edrie say, from the “turmoil and loss” that came after their spouses took a road trip together and never returned. Both Sickert and Edrie have been active in the New England scene for several years, performing in various Electronic, Goth, Metal and Experimental bands. Comparing their music to the melodies of Rasputina with the performances of Marilyn Manson and the presence of Johnny Cash, Walter Sickert’s shows can range from loud with theatrical visuals to stripped-down acoustic sets.

“Musically sophisticated and immensely talented, wildly unusual and diverse in material and... presentation, a Dada-esque circus carnival run amuck, and just plain good ‘not-always-so-clean’ fun”. ~ Boston Survival Guide

"Walter Sickert & the Army of Broken Toys is a rollicking, raunchy sideshow of jolly, wheezing menace and delight. They roll in with their burlesque dancers, leers and winks and Hieronymus Bosch tableaus of living mannequins and props and while they play you accept decay, laugh at sex and revel in life. When they roll out again you feel empty.. it’s like the circus is leaving, and you want to go with them" ~ Marc Levy

Duke Evers


 
About: Duke Evers

Once upon a time there was a man. A man of enormous mystery. It's not clear exactly what name was given to him at birth, but the handle he amorously professed to those lucky enough to meet him was Duke Evers. The origin of his birth is subject to much controversy, however the most congruent version is that he was born of an English activist mother named Valentine Evergreen, and a Spanish Duke Marco De Zatara in the mid 1920's. Raised with the attitude that there is nothing that cannot be accomplished, which he took to heart, and accompanied by his fathers generous wealth he set of into the world to pursue and master his biggest passion: Music. He succeeded. This is "Duke Evers"

Early Rising People


 
About: Early Rising people (David Tollisen)

Early Rising People is a project by world traveler and Norwegian, David Tollisen. David has spent most of his past 17 years in India and the Philippines studying Yoga and working with children in poverty stricken areas that has given him a different perspective of life.
 
Music Career

As David puts it “one day I fell down out of a coconut tree”, and started to create music that was both spiritually uplifting and socially conscious based on life experiences and the growing consciousness that has awakened in the world.

Recently, with the help of a few friends, David released an album titled “ PROUT Revolution”. The 14 song project is a spiritual manifesto based on looking at the world as a family which is the meaning behind the title of the album. Quite simply, PROUT is the application of the family spirit to society and economics. It is a very realistic alternative in practice than how the world works right now.

David speaking about his project and belief:

“I would very much like to remind all the conscious musicians and other artists in the whole world about their responsibility towards a PROUT revolution. It is foolish to think that intellectuals and politicians are going to be the driving force behind mobilizing the masses towards a revolutionary change. Responsible artists must unite together through Song and other forms of art which can touch the hearth of the people in a such way that people will rise up against all the exploitations going on in the world”.

"If artists do not show an optimistic vision about a brighter future for all then I do not think our dream will be possible. But consciousness knows that it is possible so the right forces will come together in the right time. The power lays in our dreams and visions, and the food for these dreams is pure art. Art is the essence of creativity which brings hope and beautiful dreams. Theories alone can never do this."

"It was after I came to this realization that my songs become more PROUT revolutionary. So, am I just talking fantasy, or are we going to join together as a uniting force to bring the right people together towards a mass movement? It may sound pompous to use big words like this, but revolution is a word much bigger then most of us can imagine. It is about an all around change of consciousness. The world can really be as beautiful as we dare and care to imagine."

Corners


 
About: Corners

Corners is a garage, post punk, surf band from California USA.

Corners started with Tracy Bryant, who was inspired to write the song “Beyond Way” using a 4 track cassette while listening to White Fence, The seeds, and VU. Rick Mabery recorded some of the drums at his studio after hearing the song and joined the band to play Corners first show via KXLU in Echo Park. Robert Cifuentes AKa Billy Changer recorded the performance live at the radio station and loved what he heard. He joined the band not long after.

Corners soon found them selves playing at a California Club called “The Smell” and became a regular act there. After a year of heavy schedules “Corners” released “My Baby” a 7" EP with Lolipop Records and soon followed that up with “Pressure” a 7" EP release with Mono Records.

The differing styles of the band members have meshed very well together combining Surf, Punk, Post Punk, garage rock, and 80’s New Wave into their own blend of Neo Psychedelia that is resonating with music fans up and down the California coast.

Corners is currently working on new material that is influenced by Rikk Agnew, The Cure, Cleaners from Venus, Broadcast, Hawkwind and the Lolipop bands and hope to tour Nationally in the summer of 2014.

Band Members: Tracy Bryant, Billy Changer, Rick Mabery
