“The British answer to the Rat Pack, the Dead Men Walking Experience is an unforgettable one. Born out of friendship and mutual respect combined with Peters’s desire to create a contemporary Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Dead Men Walking is a collective of the UK’s rock’n roll’s finest; Glen Matlock from the Sex Pistols, Pete Wylie from the Mighty Wah, Kirk Brandon from Spear of Destiny and Mike Peters from The Alarm. For an evening of acute entertainment, following on from DMW’s recent jaunt, look forward to a sprinkling of dates in August (dates to follow) and later in October/November when DMW will be embarking on an extensive tour of the UK. Please keep in touch for finalized dates.”

• 2003 Press Release (May 28,2003)

Dead Men Walking will be taking to the road again throughout September / October
of 2003. Live and dangerous and presenting what for many will be the
soundtrack of a generation. Dead Men Walking began out of a loose bond
between friends and musicians whose aim is to perform familiar songs in a
new and dramatic setting. Stripping the songs back to basics is what this
tour is all about. Lyrics and melodies, voice and guitars.

The latest members to join Dead Men Walking are Billy Duffy who, as well as
being co-writer of all The Cult’s massive world wide hits such as ‘She Sells
Sanctuary’, ‘Rain’, ‘Love Removal Machine’ and last year’s US hit ‘Rise’ to
name but four, is still regarded as one of the finest and most influential
guitarists of modern times. The Cult are currently taking a sabbatical from
touring, while vocalist Ian Astbury continues his work with reconstituted
60’s legends ‘The Doors’, enabling Billy to join Dead Men Walking and resume
a musical relationship with Kirk Brandon which began in the legendary
original line-up of ‘Theatre Of Hate’.

Billy Duffy will also be resuming a musical partnership with Mike Peters
that began with ‘Coloursound’ – a band formed by Peters and Duffy that made
one critically acclaimed album back in 1999 before the demands of The Cult
and The Alarm intervened.

Slim Jim Phantom who is currently on tour in the US with The Stray Cats, will bring his unique
stand-up style of drumming to Dead Men Walking. Phantom, who co-wrote some
of the Stray Cats best known tracks like ‘Runaway Boys’ and ‘Rumble In
Brighton’ with guitarist Brian Setzer, has recently made records with r’n’r
legend Jerry Lee Lewis and Motorhead’s Lemmy.

Slim Jim’s connection with the
various members of Dead Men Walking began when The Stray Cats came to London
during the early1980’s. In fact, Mike Peters’ first met Slim Jim when
Seventeen supported The Stray Cats on their first ever ‘Runaway Boys UK
Tour’. All five have remained friends ever since.”

The Infamous Dead Men Walking will once again tread the boards in California, USA this September 14th with a one off show at the world famous Troubadour in West Hollywood. Tickets On Sale Here.

This time out the line up will feature Slim Jim Phantom (Stray Cats), Captain Sensible (The Damned) and our own Mike Peters of The Alarm alongside debutants Duff McKagan of Guns N’ Roses, Chris Cheney from Australian rock band The Living End and Saturday Night Live Alumni Fred Armisen who is also the star of hit US TV show Portlandia.

News about the return of the Dead Men has caused quite a stir in the USA and the Troubadour show is already the talk of the town in Los Angeles with news items appearing all over the net and in print including the LA Times.

n years past The Dead Men Walking has featured such illuminaries as Kirk Brandon (Spear Of Destiny), Pete Wylie (Mighty Wah!), Glen Matlock (Sex Pistols), Bruce Watson (Big Country) and Billy Duffy of The Cult with one off guest appearances from Mick Jones (The Clash), Topper Headon (The Clash), Brian Setzer (Stray Cats) and Lemmy from Motörhead all taking place  at various times and cities across the globe between Los Angeles and London.

“Without The Damned, Stray Cats and The Alarm, we most certainly wouldn’t have modern alternative rock. And one of the most influential rock bands of all time, Guns N’ Roses, may not have been the same if it weren’t for Duff McKagan’s punk roots, a direct result of Dead Man Walking band mates Captain Sensible, Slim Jim and Mike Peters. Naturally, they all became friends over time and what better way to connect than to do what they all do best—play music!  Now enter Fred Armisen. In a 2014 Entertainment Weekly piece on his favorite cult records, the Saturday Night Live alum and Portlandia star counts The Damned as one of his all time favorite bands. He grew up listening to cult classics from The Damned, The Stray Cats, The Alarm, Velvet Revolver, Guns N’ Roses and more. Fred even created a character in the likeness of all of his musical heroes, the undeniably charming and hilarious British punker Ian Rubbish. Together, they form Dead Man Walking, living proof that punk has truly stood the test of time and continues to inspire new generations every single day. It’s no longer just sub-culture – it’s OUR culture.”

14, September, 2014 The Troubadour, Los Angeles
