Hailed by the Boston Globe as "this generation's Kerouac", and one of the originators of the Boston punk scene, Willie's been around the music scene since the 60's...he's a Cult hero, a Boston Rock and Roll Hall of Famer...was in the Velvet Underground after Lou Reed...The Lost on Capitol Records...The Bagatelle, part of the Boss-town sound..and in the 70's The Boom Boom Band on MCA..his bands look like a list of Who's Who in music from the Boston beat. He toured the country with Elvis Costello, but loves the real Elvis and Jerry Lee Lewis. He's played jazz drums, rock n roll keyboard, and vocals with a ton of bands and released scores of singles, lps, and cds on everything from major labels to the smallest independent labels. He's also been doing spoken word performances and readings from his voluminous journals since the mid 60's. A big fan of Jack Kerouac, he often performs at the Kerouac Festival in Lowell, Mass.

Readings, samples from Willie's journal, and "throwing sound at the tape deck" collages of music and hooks and licks and personal experiences filtered through the reality of Willie Loco Alexander: One of the great new beats in the tradition of Kerouac; a 50's rocker in the tradition of Jerry Lee Lewis; a 60's psychedelic; and the so-called godfather of Boston punk.  Willie is backed up on this recording by a cast of great improvisors including Forrest Floor and Ken Field.
