Butch Walker
Bradley Glenn "Butch" Walker (born November 14, 1969) is an American singer-songwriter, musician, and record producer. He was lead guitarist for the glam metal band, SouthGang from the late 1980s to early 1990s. From 1997 to 2001, he became the lead vocalist and guitarist for the rock band, Marvelous 3.
Bradley Walker grew up in Cartersville, Georgia, working as a guitarist and performer in several rock bands during the 1980s, including Bad Boys and Byte the Bullet. In 1988, Byte the Bullet moved to Los Angeles, and within a year, was signed to Virgin Records. The band then changed its name to SouthGang and released two albums, Tainted Angel in 1991 and Group Therapy in 1992. SouthGang was one of the first bands to tour China in the early 1990s. Following modifications to their record contract, they disbanded, but remained on good terms.
After SouthGang disbanded, Walker formed a new band with former SouthGang members Jayce Fincher and Mitch "Slug" McLee (also known as Doug Mitchell), along with keyboardist Bradford Rogers, calling themselves "Floyd's Funk Revival" after Walker's birthplace, Floyd County, Georgia. Walker shared lead vocals in the band with Fincher's wife, Chrystina Lloree. They released one full-length album, Creamy, containing thirteen original tracks.
The band then shortened their name to The Floyds. Subsequently, they released one self-titled album on the Deep South label, which contained ten original tracks and two bonus tracks. Bonus tracks included a cover of Duran Duran's "Rio", and a live rendition of the Shasta soda jingle from the late seventies.
In 1997 Walker, Fincher, and McLee scaled back to a trio and adopted a power pop sound with Walker handling lead vocals. Calling themselves Marvelous 3, they released the album Math and Other Problems in 1997. They followed this in 1999 with Hey! Album and had a minor hit with the song "Freak of the Week". The next year, they released their final album, ReadySexGo, which failed to continue the momentum created by the prior releases. The band disbanded in 2001. Their final concert took place on August 3, 2001, at Atlanta's Centennial Olympic Park.
On April 25, 2023, Walker announced on Atlanta's 99X that the band was getting back together for a new album, a re-release of "Hey Album," and a show on October 27, 2023, at the Tabernacle in Atlanta. The new album, titled IV was released on October 13, 2023.
Walker's solo career began with the release of his albums Left of Self-Centered in 2002, Letters in 2004 and The Rise and Fall of Butch Walker and the Let's-Go-Out-Tonites in 2006. In 2005 he played over 200 live shows across both the U.S. and Japan, and he released his first DVD, Live at Budokan. Walker was featured as a headlining artist on the inaugural Hotel Cafe tour, supporting independent artists from the Los Angeles venue of the same name.
In 2008, Walker released the live album Leavin' the Game on Luckie Street. He then collaborated with Michael Chislett of The Academy Is... and Darren Dodd of The Let's Go Out Tonites under the name 1969, releasing a full-length debut album titled Maya on April 1, 2008.
