  • Bio

    ..VC L "The Mighty V!" Veasey is a Bassist, Guitarist, Writer, a founding member and one the chief architects of the pioneering sound of first black rock band "Black Merda". He was one of the primary writer for the band's first self-titled classic album "Black Merda" released on the Chess record label in 1970. VC penned their classic track "Cynthy-Ruth" featured on "Chains and Black Exhaust" a now legendary bootleg release of forgotten singles by black rock and funk rock acts, which garnered the band international cult status among serious record collectors and others. After thinking about all the Black People being killed in the 1960s during the Civil Rights movement VC suggested that the band change its name from the "SouL Agents" to "BLACK MURDER" to shock public awareness and bring attention to that unjust situation as well as be an expression of the band's dynamic sound and image. Later the spelling was changed to "Black Merda" as an African American slang spelling of Black Murder: Black Merda means "The Killing Of Black People".... What's up y'all! Thanks for stopping by.

    Hey VC thanks for the approval!!!

    I love the merda and fugi. Very underrated. You guys sound like you have such a firm understanding of delta and electric blues to help add to the influences of funk and soul/r&b.

    You guys should'a been tourin with Jimi Hendrix and the Band of Gypsies!!!

Bio:

VC L "The Mighty V!" Veasey is a Bassist, Guitarist, Writer, a founding member and one the chief architects of the pioneering sound of first black rock band “Black Merda”. He was the primary writer for the band’s first self-titled classic album “Black Merda” released on the Chess record label in 1970. VC penned and sang lead on their classic track “Cynthy-Ruth” featured on “Chains and Black Exhaust” a now legendary bootleg release of forgotten singles by black rock and funk rock acts, which garnered the band international cult status among serious record collectors and others.



After thinking about all the Black People being killed in the 1960s during the Civil Rights movement VC suggested that the band change its name from the "SouL Agents" to “BLACK MURDER” to shock public awareness and bring attention to that unjust situation as well as be an expression of the band’s dynamic sound and image. Later the spelling was changed to “BLACK MERDA” but was still pronounced “BLACK MURDER”. BLACK MERDA means “The Killing Of Black People”

In 1975 VC conceived the name "Brainstorm" for a band that included himself, Charles Hawkins, Charles (Chuck) Overton, Larry Sims, Belita Woods and Renell Gonsalves. The band successfully played the Detroit club scene including the famed “20 Grand” but VC and Hawkins exited Brainstorm before the remaining members went on to record their single "Lovin' Is Really My Game
