Other Information

Bob - Keyboards & Vocals

Bob is a valued member of the band and not just because he owns the factory we rehearse in. Bob is considered by others the musical director of Walker Street due to his many years of experience and the fact that no-one else wants the responsibility. An incredibly talented musician and man of many talents, Bob built the rehearsal room that has us the envy of many other bands.

On keyboards, Bob is the bloke with all the sounds. He is also responsible for Walker Street's tight harmonies always making us run through them "one more time". He would like you to know that he is not responsible for the looser harmonies, that's all on the rest of us.

Chris - Guitar & Vocals

Guitarists are a dime a dozen, but guitarists who can play well whilst belting out killer vocals are not so common. Chris performs regularly as a solo artist but is enjoying "playing nicely with others" in Walker Street. He holds a regular gig at The Mexican House in Berwick every Sunday night and although he won't confirm it, we are pretty sure he is being paid in tacos.

A very accomplished singer, guitarist and songwriter, Chris is shaking things up by bringing songs to Walker Street that come from this century and we always look forward to the next gig, if only to see what new piece of equipment he brings along.

Fun fact: Chris and our drummer share the same last name ... and the same parents.

Another fun fact: Chris is VERY good with cards. NEVER play poker against him.

Nick - Bass & Vocals

They say "It's all about the bass" so therefore we can safely extrapolate that it's all about Nick. Nick is the man ... because Nick is the man with the bass.

When he is not laying down a fine phat bass groove often accompanied by acceptable-range defying harmonies, Nick can be found doing his full-time job which none of the rest of Walker Street knows either what it is or exactly what he does. But it means he gets to travel around Australia and do scientific things which he seems to enjoy.

Nick and our drummer have formed a tight musical bond that often has them playing identical phrases at random moments much to the amusement of the others. If asked though, they will state that they are just friends.

When it comes to gigs, Nick will be sure to turn up in an outfit that fits the required dress code but still reminds the rest of us that we could have all tried that little bit harder.

Richard - Drums & Vocals

Richard is the guy behind the drums. The others all pick on him for being a drummer even though they are all secretly jealous that he can play drums, sing and send a text message at the same time. Richard enjoys laying down the groove with Nick, harmonising with Chris and trying to anticipate what Bob will build or buy next.

Richard has been referred to on stage as the "Engine Room" of Walker Street, but he sees himself more as the back room in the house ... You know the one that you never let people in to?

Vicki - Vocals, Tambourine & Common Sense

Vicki brings with her years of experience fronting some pretty amazing bands such as Red Alert (playing alongside Chris) and Jellybean Bean Addiction (possibly the coolest name for a band ever) as well as recording and releasing her own album called “A Sheer Sky” as Medusa with all proceeds going to Alzheimer’s Australia. Vickie also sings in a duo with Chris when not classic rocking with us.

We knew we had to have Vicki in the band after she turned up to a rehearsal and added a flat nine harmony to a line in "Come Together". To be honest we knew we had to have her join when she turned up at the right location, on the right day and not too late. It's now become a competition to see who can hand off most of their song list to Vicki to sing. Richard is very happy to report that he is winning.
