It is a music band,don't quite know to classify them as.I just find myself listening to them as I seem to have suffered from a syndrome that I described in earlier posts.Most of the Music isn't worth listening to but apart from that it is a great name and it makes for a cool band.

From what I read they've been defunct for a while,in a way the ideas they tried to express seem to have proven to be cyclical.

Wish the radio people would broadcast this.

The band was known for their confrontational live shows. While performing on their 2005 tour with The Blood Brothers and Big Business, each member wore a red armband with "PLOT" written in a white circle, intentionally mimicking the armbands worn by members of the Nazi Party. However, none of the band had National Socialist beliefs, as several members of the band were of Jewish descent.[citation needed] The armbands were in keeping with thematic/aesthetic elements associated with the 3rd Reich that was prevalent on their album Love in the Fascist Brothel.

Live shows often included "everything from smashing the stage, molesting the microphone to random acts of homo-erotic behavior." Welchez often walked into the crowd to spit on, kiss, touch or undress members of the audience, especially men, to which some people took offense. At one stop on their final tour, Brandon even insisted on half of the audience joining the band on-stage during "SLC Hunks" and encouraged them to "brutalize" the band.



I can see why they didn't last long but they did have an interesting "aftermath":

wickedpedia wrote:Brandon and Sir Charles also participate in Skull Kontrol, an odd conglomerate that usually also involves Welchez's bandmate Andrew Miller and Mario Orduno of Art Fag fame. Skull Kontrol's mission is to put on amazing parties, mainly at clubs in the San Diego area, featuring combinations of its four main members and various other musicians/artists/creative-types DJing and causing a scene.

The Prayers broke up in March 2008, having released only one recording and having completed only one US tour, with two brief trips to the UK. Brandon and Sir Charles have since reunited as a two-piece; Crocodiles. Brian Hill is currently playing drums in The Soft Pack (aka The Muslims).

Willy Graves died Sunday, September 14, 2008[2]


There were characters in a comic book called 100 bullets dealing with someone named Willy and someone named Graves.It was about an organization called the Trust one that named itself the number 13.From the music,these guys didn't exactly set out to make friends.

Nonetheless I am still touched by it.
