World United Music: 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
