Rob K and Uncle Butcher are on a Mission – nothing less than resuscitating the sorry carcass of rock 'n 'roll! This once proud music has been abandoned to angst ridden cry babies and buck hungry charletons. So when Marco sounded the alarm from Brazil, Rob stepped out of semi-retirement and back into the trenches touring with Uncle Butcher and delivering The Message Of The Jam. With over six decades of mu...sical experience between the two of them, Rob and Marco are natural bon vivants, top notch showmen and raging entertainers. Their stage presence is unique. Marco does the One Man Band thing to poly-rhythmic perfection while Rob roams the stage, the audience and the rafters spouting doggerel, practicing yoga and preaching the blues. They have taken Trash Blues to a newer, higher level – Trash Glam! Then there’s their offbeat recording career. Impossible as it sounds, they cut their first record together before they ever met! How else but thru the magic of the internet could two poor musicians from Brazil and Hawaii make a record together? In the process they learned something profound about interconnectedness and cooperation. They learned The Jam transcends Space and Time. They learned that Spontaneity and The Moment will ALWAYS trump corporate music and the hard sell. At first this was just a feeling Rob and Marco shared but the vibe has spread internationally – The Message Of The Jam – and they’ve dedicated their lives to spreading The Word.

Rob K’s pedigree goes all the way back to the mid -70s when his band, The Chumps (now being rediscovered thanks to Afterburn’s recent reissue), jump started the nascent Washington DC punk scene and helped define its Anarchistic, hard edged jazzbo ethos. From DC, Rob moved to New York City eventually forming The Workdogs with Scott Jarvis. The ‘Dogs were a two piece that jammed with just about everyone of note on the New York scene. Jon Spencer, Popa Chubby, Ivan Julian, Kid Congo are just a few that clocked time with The Workdogs and in the process invented Trash Blues - New York Style. To this day The Workdogs’ In The Red and Sympathy For The Record Industry releases are highly treasured on the collector’s market.

THE JAM MESSENGERS has had 3 successful Brazilian tours, and two successful European tours...... and now the are preparing to slay audiences in the United Stated in 2011 !!
