The idea of this project had been floating around for a long while, but didn't really start to take shape until part way through Chris Walker's thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail. Chris's brother Tim had previously mentioned his fondness for side projects so we got him involved as soon as the hike was over.
Lineup:
Chris Walker - Lead Vocals, Ocarina
Tim Walker - Guitar, Harmonica, Keyboards, Backing Vocals
Mike Harvey - Keyboards, Guitar, Bass Guitar, Backing Vocals
Update: The two new Dirty Murderers songs have been updated to include the talents of third band member Tim Alan Walker. If you've been here recently the mini players below will look the same, but the songs are actually somewhat different. Listen if you're inclined. (The second version of the Seal cover is not here, but if you really want to hear it you can find it on the myspace.
Schemin' on Death
Mr. Fletcher
Tim has also set out on an expansive road journey where he will be performing his solo music at any venue that lets him. Keep an eye out for him if you'll be in the United States area over the next couple months.
Here are (most of) the songs recorded by the Dirty Murderers during our April session. Special guest Jason Madison on the bongos. Ocarina by the very talented Chris Walker. (He can make it sound like a bird.)
