Here is a quick list of bands I've been in over the years. Minus a few helping hands and friendly jams of course. 1979-1982 "SINISTER BEND" A Rock band playing covers the likes of Blue Oyster Cult, Areosmith, Bachman Turner Overdrive, Free, etc. I was strictly the drummer for this group and used that old Rogers kit for the most part. 1982-1985 "THE JOEYS" This was an all originals band with a bit of a Devo feel to the tunes and a lot of comedy thrown in. We mainly did the college scene for about three years in California. I was mostly on guitar for the stint but we did a lot of instrument switching during the shows. The guys in this group were all acomplished musicians so we thought we would try something different. Dan, the front man was (and still is) a fantastic pianist so we put him on bass and vocals. Greg, an astounding guitarist, was put behind the drumkit. Bob, a vocalist, was on keys and me, being a drummer of course, was put on guitar. Good times indeed. 1985-1991 "KENNY V & THE CATASTROPHE" As the name implies, this was my band and we played a lot of differing styles of music including Santana, Moody Blues, Jethro Tull and even some Monkees as well as some originals. I was mainly the drummer but did a lot of bass and guitar work as well. We had help from a lot of musician friends for gigs as it was just the three of us. 1991-2007 "2-EZ" This was a five piece band with me on bass and keys, Tom Hirshon on drums with K.C. Lemon on vocals and various percussion. Darryl Podbreger and Mickey Crawford on guitar switching between lead and rhythm. The tunes were varied but mostly Rock 'N' Roll covers from the 60's, 70's and 80's with a few newer tunes thrown in here and there. 2007-PRESENT "KENNY V & THE CATASTROPHE" The old gang again and we're workin' on some more original stuff. I'm back on guitar but I'm getting a chance to throw in a bit of percussion here and about. Of course the Vistalites are seeing a lot of action at the jams as our drummer Brick Lair loves the Vistas. Sometimes we set up an extra Jazzette for me on the side for a cool drum-off between the two of us. Of course let us not forget The rest of the band. Skeeter Bhyte on guitar and Hillbilly Bear on bass and vocals. |
