SouthGang was one of the first bands to tour China in the early 1990s, however they eventually disbanded after Virgin modified their contract and tried to send them in the wrong direction. Walker and the rest of the SouthGang members continue to remain on good terms.

The Floyds

After Southgang, Walker formed a new band with ex-SouthGang members Jayce Fincher and Mitch McLee ( Doug Mitchell), calling themselves Floyd's Funk Revival after Walker's birthplace Floyd County, Georgia. Walker shared lead vocals in the band with Fincher's wife, Chrystina Lloree. They released one full-length album, ''Creamy''. The album contained thirteen original tracks with Lloree taking a large share of the lead vocals and heavy reliance on guitar. The band then shortened their name to The Floyds. They released one self-titled album on the Deep South label, which contained ten original tracks along with a humorous intro piece. Bonus tracks included a cover of

The style of both these albums was guitar-oriented, mainstream rock with mild funk influences, and was a forerunner to the more basic guitar-oriented rock approach Walker took later with Marvelous 3. Although the albums are highly regarded among fans, they failed to sell many copies and are now quite rare. They are highly coveted by fans of Butch Walker, and the few copies that surface in the used CD market today command high prices.

Marvelous 3

In 1997, Walker, Fincher, and McLee scaled back to a trio and adopted a

The next year, they released their final album, '' ReadySexGo'', which failed to continue the momentum created by the prior releases, and perceiving a lack of support from their record label, they disbanded in 2001. Their final concert was on August 3, 2001 at Atlanta's
