The Wallbangers
Its SPANKY TIME!!
Hi, we're The Wallbangers,we play "rockytonk", a rollicking fusion of country, rock and blues. Tania "Tia" - bass, slide guitar, b3 organ, harmonica, rhythm guitar, vamping and spanking, BJ "Weezy" - lead guitar player supreme, rhythm guitar, comic relief and Bret "Spanky", drums, percussions and train wreck conductor.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We do, however Bret has been ill most of the year and we have only played once. We had regular gigs in Palm Springs, Hollywood, Mammoth...funny thing, most places we have played at have closed down...and even funnier we were the last band to have played those places...hmmmm...The bestest moment is when we opened the Carl Perkins Rockabilly Festival in Jackson, Tennessee 2 years ago, what a hoot!!
