VINCE RAY
Guitar and vocals, twanger of thee mighty Gretsch and Fender
Bassman on 10. Wears sunglasses all the time so often seen facing the
wrong way on stage. Loves everything from first generation rockabilly
through to punk and metal and all things in between.
DISCO DOM
The Funkmeister, the man with a fistful of FUNK, slaps like
a demon and can dance, drink whisky, smoke ciggies and beat his bass to
death all at the same time. Lives nowhere and everywhere...but HE
LIVES!
LOUIS VILLE Fellow Gretsch wielder and and GEORDIE IN WONDERLAND! Also
has a band called The Grit who are angry cunts.....find out why at
http://www.the_grit.net Has appeared in his own WANTED poster in service
stations and hotels all around the country....can't tell you why!
THE GAFF
TATTOOED SLEDGEHAMMER OF ROCK AND ROLL!...Earl of Soho and
also GEORDIE IN WONDERLAND! Double bass drum machine gun beat, has to
practice in a fallout shelter.
Influences
THE VINCENT RAZORBACKS of course....well, what else? Press
described the sound as a cross between the Cramps and the Sex Pistols, can't be bad!
Sounds Like
Kick ass 50's Rock N Roll mixed with punk rock attitude, pyschobilly ravings, voodoo blues, just listen .....and make your own minds up.
The Vincent Razorbacks have existed for about five years as the
brain(dead)child of low brow artist Vince Ray. The original line up
included Lord Ford on UFO guitar and the inimitable Dave Razorback on
double bass. And THUS, the bands name came from mixing Dave RAZORBACK and VINCENT Ray...it ain't rocket science, just too many lagers and a band with no name and a first gig coming up.
Line ups came and went, usually with Lord Ford adopting a different
instrument every couple of weeks...he really is a talented chap and you
should check out his Fordy Myspace page.
Another long term contributor has been Tom Spencer, he of the Yo Yo's,
the Fast Lane Roogalators and now the Loyalties. He often steps in on
bass or guitar, another talented fellow!
The band has gigged all around the UK and played Germany, Zurich and
Dublin. The biggest thing this year has been the Motorshow, playing
four times a day for two weeks in the boiling July heat...surrounded by
stunt motorbikes and toxic clouds of burning rubber. Vince lost his
voice, found his voice and gave it away to a bag lady.
AND, if you care to look, you'll find two CD's available in all good
stores...and on the Raucous Records web site for mail order.
What's next?
