| Band Bio: |
"We take the listener on a journey through the horrible, through mountains of noise and seas of emotion we take them to see the WIRETOOTH creatures that live in the forests of love, betrayal, longing and hate and the audience can relate every step of the way"-W.S
[Death]"-folk group Walter Sickert the Army of Broken Toys is about performance art as much as it is music. The band led by music madman Walter Sickert blends experimental and industrial noises for a sound that's something like Nine Inch Nails, horror movie soundtracks, and two radio stations that have their frequencies crossed." (Boston Globe January 2007)
"Holy Damn this is so good...if Jim Morrison is walking the afterworld, he surely must audition for this band. And I shall be the one to tell him to!" (Mike Loce) The Noise October 2006 issue 265
The band Walter Sickert and the Army of Broken Toys formed from the "turmoil and loss" that came after their spouses took a road trip together and never returned. They storm stages and souls with their intensely theatrical but controlled chaos of harmony mixed with a palpable connection to the minds and spirits of the audience. 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. Framing the "violent forests" of their songs around love, betrayal and heartbreak, their music is for anyone who has ever been broken. |
