   About The Black Arm Band
Once upon a time there was a great rock band from Dallas. One of the greatest. They died. NOW!!!!!!! For all of those that missed it the first time we bring you Greg Prickett, Ben Burt, Ian Hamilton and Wanz Dover for 2 shows as The Original bad asses of DFW underground outsider punk................THE FALKON. This is the original line up as that recorded the infamous lost ark of the local scene. An album of of pure rock n soul power. The record was recorded by Matt Pence 3 years ago and is currently being mixed by wanz for a postumous release. Watch out we are coming back to kill.

I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6!
