Gene Temple's Bio



I am from the land down under......down under Tennesse and Arkansas that is. Specifically, born in Mississippi, raised in Texas and Louisiana. Cut my teeth on the Gospel, Country, Rockabilly, and Blues on the one AM radio station we had to listen to, out in the boonies. Started playing and directing music in numerous bands including The Easley Family (Gospel), The Anthony Brothers (Buck Owens style country), Velvet Elvis (R&B and Blues), The Continentals (anything from Gospel to Blues and anything in between), The Wendy Ard band (think Janis).....and a plethora of R&B, Folk, Rock, and Country acts of inconsequence. I got hooked on the Jimmy's....Jimi Hendrix and Jimmy Page, Billy Gibbons, Ry Cooder, Gram Parsons, Randy Scruggs, and just about every Bluesman that ever bent a string. Once visionaries like the Flying Burrito Brothers, New Riders, Commander Cody, Goose Creek Symphony, and Steve Earle made it cool again to be a Bohemian Country guy, I dove straight in. Fate brought me to placing an ad in the Tidewater Musicians Exchange after a long layoff. I got a response three days later from Big Al, who liked my influences and sales pitch (I guess). He sent me a CD and we rehearsed at Whopper Jr.'s pad....who was on crutches and hobbling about with bass in hand. Needless to say we clicked and share damn near the same musical direction and own some of the same CD's. I have never seen Mojo Nixon naked, but I have thrown up on Porter Wagonner's bass player's shoes in the Under the Hill Pub in Natchez, Mississippi, and Elvis is fo sho living in a trailer park by a Piggly Wiggly in Alabama. Come do the Poontango with us......and prepare to party. (strains of "Lonesome L.A. Cowboy" fading out)

Scott Carlisle's Bio



Scott started playing music in Florida way back in the day. His first gig was his high school band West Wind (73-75). "That's when I made all my money, playing music today sucks." Judgement(77-79) "This was a twelve piece blues band,10 African American rockers and two white boys." Blues band. "I remember playing in a shothouse back in the woods of Georgia." "You went to the bathroom in trash cans and you did not go far from the stage but it was a rocking party." Scott grew up in the Jacksonville Flordia area with the guys in Molly Hachett and Lynard Skynard. The other white boy in Judgement was Dicky Betts nephew. His first traveling band was The Irritations (79-83) rocking and rolling up and down the east coast. That band led him to Norfolk Virginia. "Well the band van blew up and I was stuck in this town." Swing Shots (84-85), Nick and the Razors (85-86), Birds on Drugs (87), Patio Boys (87-88), Rodie for the Waxing Poetics (89-Present), Left Wing Fascists (89-95) He joined Left Wing Fascists in 1987. Big Al and Scott continued to steer LWF through 2 albums and 10 years of rocking and rolling.. Bush Hoggs (94-96), Quang-T 2001-2002, "I was voted Nine Volt Guitar Player of the year for 2002 and was so happy that I did jumping jacks." He started playing bass when he started recording his own projects and some early stuff for Hickery Hawkins. He continues to produce bands like Big Bobby and the Nightcaps and other bands in Norfolk. He picked up the bass for Moaning Lisas and continues to pop the strings out today. "I play music for the free draft beer and the enjoyment of song writing, what a great combination." He picked up the bass for Moaning Lisas for a little while and now is the Smoking 6-stringer he was born to be and continues to bend the strings out today.
