Grae Wall

Story

Grae J Wall records and performs solo and with the movable musical feast dubbed Los Chicos Muertos (usually made up from other ex Trailer Trash Orchestra compadres and ex Astronauts and/or special guests). These outings mix up country, blues, folk and chanson with a particular penchant for murder ballads, caustic skiffle and bar room melancholy. Grae J regularly tours on the continent as well as being a stalwart of the UK Acoustica scene (previous band The Young Trash Lovers were the last ever act to perform at the legendary Bunjies Coffee House). As an eternal troubadour Grae J's songs are also often inspired by his road trips, with narratives set in the motels of Bakersfield, the bar-rooms of Berlin and the back-streets of Paris. Grae J and Los Chicos Muertos have shared the stage with inspirational characters including TV Smith, Patrik Fitzgerald, John Cooper Clarke and Jowe Head as well as backing Ed Tudorpole a few times on live renditions of Swords of a Thousand Men. Grae has also collaborated (along with the band) on the production of the acclaimed Knoxville Boy album with Knox (The Vibrators) . As well as Trashville releases Grae J has contributed tracks to a number of compilation albums including tributes to Kevin Coyne and a self produced tribute to Nikki Sudden. https://graejwall.bandcamp.com/ https://facebook.com/trashvilleuk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raD7ySYEwIc https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=grae+j.+wall https://vimeo.com/51010134 https://trailer-trash.co.uk “For an album so packed with suicide, death and loss it seems to be almost celebratory, placing a massive grin on the listener’s face. Death loses its power, the Grim Reaper is dragged in, has a glass placed in his hand and is forced to join the party.” – RnR, *****
