Murder ballads, caustic skiffle and bar room melancholy from Los Chicos Muertos in Brighton
With a particular penchant for murder ballads, caustic skiffle and bar room melancholy, Grae J. and Los Chicos regularly tour on the continent as well as being stalwarts of the UK acoustica scene, featuring members of The Trailer Trash Orchestra, The Astronauts and Jesus Hooligan.
As an eternal troubadour Grae J's songs are often inspired by his road trips, with narratives set in the motels of Bakersfield, the bar-rooms of Berlin and the back-streets of Paris.
