About Scum Gumbo:
As fate would dictate, the gym was home to only one such exercise machine, a truth that not only presented an obviousproblem, but which also triggered a full-fledged brawl between the three then strangers. Only hours later, Farrell, Barkley
and Hunter were placed in Orleans Parish Prison, more ominously known as the O.P.P. And it was in the tank, as it were,
that the boys officially met for the first time, engaging in brotherly conversation, and sharing stories of their lives on the road.
Released on their own recognizance and dressed again in their motorcycle leather, the guys ventured out together into
the New Orleans night, desperate for some drinks to smooth down the edges of their latest, mutual episode. Deciding on a
secluded bar in the heart of the New Orleans French Quarter, the guys were abruptly stopped at the door by a bouncer that
claimed there was a band this evening, and that a ten dollar cover was necessary to gain entrance. And it was here, at the
threshold of the darkened and seedy music club, that John Farrell himself uttered the now infamous four words: “We are the band!”
Once inside, the three members climbed onto the stage, and by gut instinct alone, reached for their instruments of fate
(the real band that night had in fact set up and sound checked before leaving for a last minute bite to eat). Prompted by an
audience heckle to “play something”, the guys spontaneously launched into a rendition of the Kiss classic “Rock and Roll All Night.
Upon finishing with an extended power cord and a hissing, crashing symbol, the room became desperately quiet.
The guys looked to one another, pleased with a job well done, when as legend would have it, from across the room, a chair scraped
against the wooden planks. Turning to the distraction, the boys were astonished to see Rex, the king of Mardi Gras himself,
standing in full royal regalia. Again the room fell a deathly silent before Rex explosively kicked his table over and raised his staff
to the direction of the stage. And after drawing a deep and regal breath, Rex declared: “I deem thee Scum Gumbo!” It is further
said that after the royal declaration, John Farrell removed his bass and walked to the microphone. “But why, King Rex?” he solemnly asked.
“Why Scum Gumbo?”
Rex thought for a moment, and then shrugged. “I don’t know,” he said quietly before turning and making his way to the door.
And such is the city of New Orleans, home to Scum Gumbo, where gaudy royalty rules, where the weather is open to discussion,
and where rock legends drink deep from the chalice of rock!
