Texas Joe's ,Eloy's & Noe's Blog page

Its 2018...Website is open again on September 7th 2018 

 

Well Hello ...we have been closed down for several years but our website is open again.

A lot has happened since the last entry on this website...A lot. ! 

Where to start......since it looks like the last time this website was up was in May of 2016!

Several things of note....

Texas Joe Valles has been living in Austin ,Texas since May of 2017. The move was needed in order to bring the band forward. It was a much needed move.

The band is still Texas Joe Valles and Eloy Valles but the third chair in the band for a bass player is in a Nebulous position. Due to life demands Noe Valles , for the foreseeable future will not be having much of an active role in the band.

Martin Carrizales who had been helping the band for many years decided to move to Southern California. A good job was waiting for him there so he took it. He has not been an active member of the band since May of 2017.

So now for the future of this band.....multiple changes or morphing's will happen to the band.

Eloy and Texas Joe Valles have decided...for the time being not to have a steady and or permanent bass player in the band and we will have a revolving door of friends and guests as bass players for the near future. There is a reason for this. Prior to Texas Joes move to Austin it was decided that the Valles Flying Machine will in fact expand and contract in personnel with the new goals we are setting for ourselves.

This has come about because we have written so much music and lyrics,  We will have to use many different people for the vision we have of our musical future, live performance and recorded output.

The band is dedicated to expanding its musical palette and our songwriting so to this extent, many changes will be in effect. Least of all staying as a powertrio.

Valles Flying Machine has Three different approaches it will explore in the future...but in essence it will be six ! The best way to explain it is Valles Flying Machine will be 3 different bands able to put on 3 different types of performances.

If you count the fact that we sing in English and Spanish it doubles the band to six choices of performance and recording output !  A lot to say the least. It will happen and has already been going on to some extent for man years. For the future we will follow a formula. it goes as Follows;

1. The Original Power Trio...Valles Brothers Band....and Valles Flying Machine.

     with songs and performance in English and Spanish.

      An album called Mermaid Blues...already written and just needs to be recorded. The album is huge with a collection of about 34 song ! it will be massive. More on this album later.

 

2. An Acoustic Duo...Eloy and Texas Joe Valles which has been going strong for the past three or four years with a very successful track record.

     It mainly revolves around Congas,vocals and 12 string guitar, but we are not opposed to other instruments showing up in the mix . again some songs in English and Spanish.

      18 to 22 songs have been written and the working title of the acoustic album is ..

The Honey and Granola Treehugger Sessions.....kinda a play on several things haha.

 

3. A New Wave Synth retro 1980s group...complete with drum machines analogue synth keyboards

    and different colored Ray Ban Glasses ha ha !  Again both in English and Spanish.

The album title is...New Wave Synth Album Vol 1. 

Not Very original....but it speaks volumes if your in our head space...!

 We have always loved early 1980s New Wave Music but could never afford the Synths....things are different now.....and changes are coming....it will be fun.....demos for this band are already up on our music site....and we will place some New Wave Demos on the music player on this site. So people can hear the drastic but fun Synth Driven Songs we are working on ..... 

you can here all our classic powertrio songs...acoustic demos and New Wave Synth Demos here

www.vallesflyingmachine.bandcamp.com

for now its late time to go get some sleep....Thank You for being a fan and having interest in our band.....many people we will never know read these blogs and check out our band...please buy some music and help us out.

Next to it is an item Texas Joe Valles HAS BEEN WANTING FOR A SUPER LONG TIME!!!  this past Sunday Texas Joe found a 2002 marshall 4x12 cab with original style 1962 grill cloth...plus it looks road worn and is worn so it gives the cab a certin patina to it..The Goal s a full set of Tone Tubby Speakers so we will see..!

ON The Subject of Guitars and Drums.....1st Texas Joe then Eloy

Since moving to Austin...this past June 2013....Texas Joe has been overwhelmed  by the amazing amount of guitars and musical products for sale  all over Austin!  its mind blowing !  

Texas Joe has aquired some very Kool guitars...and one Super Duper..... AMAZING MIND BLOWING GUITAR PEDAL.....and he has managed to fine tune his ...Old ninteen seventy six Marshall 50 watt head....with a bass mod courtesy of good buddy bill Webb....which we wiill  talk about soon....but 1 st guitars.....
Joe Scored of Craigslist a very beautiful  Washburn 12 string Electric Acoustic Guitar....that is about 18 years old with original case  its pretty awesome....got it for just under 100 bux...90 to be exact...and it is a wonderful 12 string guitar...see below   awesome !





A very close friend....turned me on to the Eric Johnson Fuzz Face  in  GOLD HAMMERITE STYLE.....VERY COOL...have not used it yet..but im sure going to very soon !  



Also another very kool   present was this Eastwood Reso-Dobro Electric...a very kool guitar....I will be using in the fiuture....never had one before should be alot of fun to play live !     





its a great guitar...wonderful sound .....Washburn 12 string.....video of me playing it on You Tube.  

Texas Joe also scored...thanks to Eloy Valles help.....what appears to be a 2002  Danelectro 12 string electric guitar.......in metalflake blue....at a very cheap price...in San Marcos, Texas   several weeks back.....this guitar has a ghostly sound.....very differant than other 12 strings Texas Joe has...and it is deffinately going on the new album...when we start recording......before the year is over.....Texas Joe has not sussed out the string gauges yet but it is a 9 guage set...but several of the middle strings have to be reconfigured due to the ....impact on the lipstick tube pick ups of the Danelectro.....one thing is for sure..it has its own unique sound as compared to other 12 string guitars......below is Texas Joe ...holding it during ...a break at work....




the guitar had not yet had strings on it and a bad key had  to be replaced....but it sounds fantastic now ..for sure....



eloy is about to do a deal on a vintage drumset also....more info soon.....on all of this..but for now take care...and we are back...to a regular blog.....

have a nice day

Psych Rock 101 on KMBH 88.9 FM Closed down after 10 years on the radio Farewell !  

AFTER 10 YEARS OF HAVING psych rock 101 on the radio I Texas Joe Valles ..have decided to close it down ..it ran from Jan 2003...to jan 2013  10 years...most of it was alot of fun....but these past several months....I could not and felt i didnt want to keep up with the show....for many reason....which I will not discuss......here....but thnx to Chris Maley and Mario Munoz for the time there at KMBH FM 88.9   like i  said for the most part it was fun....I thank all the people who were thier in the past who helped me...it was fun...i miss alot of those people who are not there...anymore.....who were amazing giving people.....but time has a way of making us march on...nothing lasts forever.....not even memories !!!

..i will say onething the economy does have something to do with my decision to stop the radio show at KMBH......for those of you who dont ...know...i did the radio show for free.....I never got paid in 10 years....not one dollar....for my services...in the end ..i did it with a clear concience...and a giving  and open heart.....but when I could not give for free anymore.....its time to move on.....    it was time to hang it up there.....at that radio station.....no big farewell party..or greeting cards...or dinner....it was all quiet and hush hush......and its time to move on...!!!!  

I will start a new radio show...online.......that will be more....extensive and more entertaining...and it will run longer for more hours......but on the internet.....as more and more people are becoming extremely picky...and not having patience with terrestrial radio  ads and  segments they dont want to hear.....i feel the same way.....in order to keep my audience....I will have to ....control everything...and run my own ...online radio space ship....I am the captain...and i call the shot.s......and i do what i want with it......and i will entertain people.....should be fun...its in the works for the future...I will have podcasts.....for sure and downloads.....

so for me farewell  kmbh 88.9 fm....I wish the station good vibes....it was fun for 10 year..but its time to move on.....


Now for the band......we are organizing our new songs to start recording...and more than likely we will have another new album out by the end of the year....Mermaid Blues is the title of the new album....it has been delayed.....and all the reason is not enough money...to fund our projects.......but we will get it out....it will be available as a download 1st then as a cd and quite possibly on wax 33 rpm....we will keep you posted...its gona be very psychadelic...and it will be a "Head" Phone ..album....like...Pink Floyds dark Side of The moon....or Robin Trowers Bridge of Sighs......so get ready !   ha ha !    

sincerely
TEXAS JOE VALLES

End of The World Concert@ John Lennon Park Dec 21st 2012  


 
Lee MacNamerra in tye dye John lennon Park t shirt...Texas Joe Valles in Green Tree  t shirt and Duan Neece all of us at John Lennon Park festival site....Sat Dec 8th 2012 .

Well its been sometime since we posted something on here...sorry about that as work has gotten the best of us..plus we have not played any shows in a while....but its all about to change....last show of the year...!  for Valles Flying Machine....so its gonna be fun..mostly we will play new songs.....at this show...
its billed as The End of The World Concert @ John Lennon Park in Olmito Texas Friday Dec 21st 2012...we go on about 9.30 p.m. that night..weather permitting...its in Tribute to Mayan Calender date as possibly the end of a cycle or end of a world as they Knew it...the calender date was called 13 Rabbit...in Mayan terms...as it is it falls exactly on Winter Solstice Dec 21st 2012   shortest day of the year...!!  so lets rock and roll on this day !  and rock we will !   

We are anticipating big big changes in our career next year...and all things for the better....we got badly side tracked for alot of reasons.in 2012.....and we have had to postpone...alot of shows and alot of music and albums....this has been very frustrating for a guy like Texas Joe Valles....who only really cares about rock and roll..! .its been a miracle we have been able to  record some Acoustic Songs...since May 2012 when we did our last shows.....and some good ones indeed..plus alot of lyrics and ideas for...new electric psychadelic songs....you would be amazed at the very kool new music we have in store....but we have been forced to delay..our new album Mermaid Blues...a huge bummer......!!!! but it will come out...in 2013...for sure !!!   

so for now all we can say is try and drop by our concert  December 21st 2012....cuz its gonna be a while until we do a show after that one...for sure....!   anyway hope to see you there have fun...
and Happy Holidays
Merry Christmas
