BLACK EYED VERMILLION WAS ORIGINALLY CONCEIVED IN THE BACK OF A TOUR BUS BY GARY LINDSEY and JOE BUCK of HANK III and ASSJACK. AFTER MOVING TO AUSTIN TEXAS, LINDSEY CROSSED PATHS WITH FELLOW EXPATRIATED ATLANTAN STEVIE TOMBSTONE AND TOMBSTONES BASSIST KILLENE. ADDING THE ARKANSAS MADMAN BIRCHO BIRCH ON DRUMS FORMERLY OF "TRUSTY" COMPLETED THE LINEUP.
IN 2008, VERMILLION AND JOE BUCK YOURSELF WERE ON TOUR IN TEXAS WHERE THEY PLAYED A SHOW WITH LOCAL LEGENDS, WHISKEY DICK. EVERYBODY GOT ALONG SO WELL THAT FRITZ AND JOHNSON DECIDED TO JOIN UP AND ARE NOW BACKING B.E.V. FOR SOME LIVE SHOWS!
BLACK EYED VERMILLION COMBINES ALL THE ELEMENTS OF ROOTS MUSIC{BLUES,SWING ,BLUEGRASS} WITH THE DARK ANGER OF PUNK AND GRINDCORE.THE RESULT IS A PRIMAL AND HAUNTING SOUND BOTH DECADENT AND REVERENT.
Man I am impressed with you guys. The music is creepy as shit, nasty blues and the vocals are incredible. How do we get you guys to San Diego!? I need a CD
