Original: Marc Moreland , guitarist for The Skulls began jamming with Ridgway at the Acme Soundtracks office and the soundtrack company morphed into a New Wave band . In 1977 , with the addition of Skulls members Bruce Moreland ( Marc Moreland 's brother ) as bassist and Chas T. Gray as keyboardist , along with Joe Nanini , who had been the drummer for Black Randy and the Metrosquad , the first lineup of Wall of Voodoo was born .
Simplified: Instead , Acme Soundtracks evolved into a band that played live shows , as Ridgway ( vocals , harmonica , keyboards ) enlisted Marc Moreland ( guitar ) followed by Marc 's brother Bruce Moreland ( bass ) , Chas T. Gray ( keyboards ) , and Joe Nanini ( percussion ) to the line-up .
