DIRTY WALT & THE COLUMBUS SANATATION: Still Smokin'
In the Chinese zodiac, the dragon is a symbol of strength and harmony. Not surprisingly the two leaders of Year of the Dragon, Roderick "Rodcore" Palmer, and Walter Adam Kibby, II AKA Dirty Walt, were born within days of each other under that sign. Rodcore, has had various starts and stops with different incarnations of YOTD in the past between stints with other LA based bands, but it was not until Dirty Walt left the band that he co-founded and co-led for over twenty-five years, Ska-Punk-Funk legends Fishbone, along with fellow former Fishbone solider guitarist Spacey T, that the seeds of the current YOTD were planted. In 2006, the three recorded and self-released an EP, A Time To Love Is A Time To Bleed which received critical acclaim and sold well through the internet and at shows. Wanting to take things to the next level, Dirty Walt and Rodcore, put together a regular band and started gigging weekly around Los Angeles and the surrounding areas, capitalizing on Fishbone's loyal fan base and attracting new fans of their own with YOTD's own brand of hardcore with a funk groove and soulful tag team vocals. Around this time, the band began a partnership with a start-up indie label, The International Brotherhood of Consequential Truth that would result in the brand new YOTD release, Blunt Force Karma, the band's first full-length album. Now full partners in the label, which also released Dirty Walt's second solo record and first since leaving Fishbone, Still Smokin' earlier this year, YOTD controls their own destiny. Recorded in LA, over the course of 2008, Blunt Force Karma is the product of that freedom and their years in the game. Thirteen songs recorded with drummer Kerim Imes, bassist Elliott Lawrence, and guitarist Jason "JMR" Richardson (with Spacey T and Mytch Meadows contributing as guest guitarists as well), BFK is a pure, uncut assualt on the mind and spirit.

I want to thank you for allowing me as Red Skelton to be a part of your myspace life.

Fall is here and the holidays are approaching. They can be stressful so I'm giving you a gift of laughter.

If by chance you are in Las Vegas or plan on visiting us this season, I would be honored to meet you.

I perform every Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday night 9pm inside the Royal Resort Hotel showroom located 99 Convention Center Drive (basically corner of Las Vegas Blvd and Convention Center Drive)

The name of the show is Larry G Jones ~Man of 1002 Voices Show.

I'm the opening act as Red Skelton.
If you get the chance please stop by and say HI.

I wish you continued success in all you do.

"Goodnight now and may God bless"
