    .. .. .... .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ...... .. Whose fault is it? That’s what we’ve been asking ourselves for eons, and haven’t got so much as a chirp or a whistle from any of the folks here in glass city. Play it straight… What are you doing with your life? Can’t you even count to ten? We’ve heard it, all of it, and in the worst possible way. .. We’re musicians. .. Sure, we all have some predispositions to certain behaviors and attitudes. Some of us like war sounds, people screaming, trucks and trombones, and others like violent pillow fights and religious winds blowing blood thirsty mosquitoes into our homes so we can smack the crap out of something and feel good about ourselves. .. We’re Vamp. We probably fit into most molds. .. Jason Tiemann (drums) and Jacob Duncan (alto saxophone) began making music in a basement. Sure, there’s one or two of you saying, “So did I!! I’m just like them!!...Cool…Tight….and Neato!!” Well, you’re dead wrong. We were surrounded by slimy creatures pouring out of interdimensional port holes with hairy faces and eyes on their backs. Each creature had 28 ears. We had to play the tunes they wanted to hear, and man, they liked waltzes, and not the cool kind. Yeah, we had to do that for a very long time. It sounds god-awful, but we got paid. We put on a smile, and when some long haired slippie creature came up and asked us to play at his/her tea joint, we said, “No.” They said, “Don’t you just play for fun?” We said, “…and flowers?” Then we sent them packing. .. We play for survival. .. Every moment means something to somebody, and luckily, being musicians, we get to grab a piece of most lives from the background. People don’t even know. .. What’s the music sound like? Well, maybe like people screaming to their favorite song being played by a bad trombone player tackled by the Australian rugby team, naked, in the shower. That’s just what I hear on the corner of Krieger and Charles Streets in Frogtown (Germantown) at a little place called, “Nach Bar”. .. If you’re looking for dirty, soulful, musically powerful, swinging, and brutally honest dizzying artistry, Vamp will see you every Wednesday night at Nach Bar. .. And yes everything you have read is true.
