   About Necropolis Of Love
The band came together in 1981 in Berkeley, California as the brainchild of Peter Vinella; -who had just finished a brief stint as bassist for Public Image Ltd.
Tim Hesla joined in as bassist and whenever circumstances required, saxophonist.
And me, Dave 'Slave' Velasquez, a local from the Berkeley punk scene came in looking for a challenge and a change of pace...joined as vocalist.
Later on, Tim would leave and go on to trade his bass for a saxophone making a name for himself with his band Tim Hesla's Converse Allstars.
Bill Zelinski, who had played with many famous jazz and blues muscians then joined us as percussionist... thusly allowing our poor overworked Roland 1108 drum machine to retire.

In the six years that we played together we released two singles (the first being pressed by a french label Rouen Records) and one album called ' the Hope'. We toured quite a bit in California, often playing in the Los Angeles area at venues like the Lhasa Club, the Anti-Club -and becoming a favorite for such underground clubs such as 'the Theoretical Club'.

We did our best to provide our fans with music to make them dance and make them think. I think we succeeded to some extent. And I'm really proud to have been part of that effort.

ANIMALS SCRATCH AS THEY WAIT FOR SCRAPS

TREES ALIVE WITH GHOSTS PERHAPS

SEASONS BURST WITH LIFE AND EARTH

ELECTRIC DEATH ON A BREATH OF HURT

WINDS WILL RATTLE IN ELATION

WHEEZE RELAPSE INTO SITUATION

ART FALLS OFF THE LONG WHITE WALLS

START THE MOTOR AND HEART THE CORPSE

WHEN DOWN IS LOWER THAN BLACK VIBRATIONS

AND THIRST BEGS WEST FOR EAST'S CITATION

NATIONS THREE LEGGED MASTURBATION CRAWL

OVER THE EDGE OF THE NEW BORN'S CHALK

WRITING PIECES OF DRAGONFLY

FOR AGAINST THE COMMOTION OF SWARMS

PICK UP A LEAFLET WITH YOUR FREE LIFE FORMS

AND SNAP THE BOTTLE NECK OF ALL ESSENCE OF NOTION

TO FATHER TIME AND THE BROKEN CHIME

OF FINGERS CLICKING IN CITY CRIME


... TONIGHT THEN MY FRIENDS, WE FINISH WITH A THUNDER CLAP,

REPEATED ON THE AUDIENCE, IN THE FORM OF HANDS AND SEQUENCE,

YET CONSCIOUS STILL!


YULE WAS ULTIMA THULE, BUT SOLSTICE IS COLD AND TURKEY POULTRICE.



TO THE FEW OF US WHO GIVE A FLYING KARATE KICK STILL..... A GLASS TO LOVE, EMPTIED CHESTS FOR BLOOD RED SLEEVES, AND WORN EDGES, FRAYED, BUT NOT TAILOR MADE ...


A TOAST TO GHOSTS AND THE CIVIL ALIVE!


AND NUKE THE NICETIES!!


MUCH LOVE DAVID...


FREEZAKOIDS, UNDONE IN LONDON OKAY KINGDOME,
