Questions from the Underworld
What inspired you to take up music?
Ok- So I'm tuned into the radio, see? (Yeah, you punks!!! We didn't have Ipods or MP3 players back in dem days) and I sez to myself: "Self. I bet YOU too could make some swingin' sounds like dat!! You're not interested in a legit career anyways, and it seems like the dames are dizzy over it!!!!"......................Decision made.
How long have you been studying/playing music?
I guess it would have been since the Pope was an altar boy.
How long have you been performing live shows?
I seem to recall it was when “Da Boot-Leggin’ Boogie” came out?!?
What previous local bands have you played in?
You may have made my acquaintance during my solo career as "MusicianX", or "DH Vinnie". If not; -no worries. It was great. (If you don't believe me, just ask me.) Previous associations wit other “players” included bands such as Blue Eyes Blonde, 1-800, Loose Endz, Rockport, Odanza, Pulse, and a half a dozen other bands you probably never heard of but should have.
Who are your musical influences?
"Dis" The Beatles, and I'll have to call some muscle in on your ass. Other candidates in favor with The Boss would include: Elvis Costello, Peter Gabriel, Eric Johnson, Db's, Pete Townsend, The Insiders, Webb Wilder, Kiss, The Plimsouls, Chilies (See Red Hot), Yes, Common Faces, B-52's, Bob Marley, Joe Jackson, The Speds, Talking Heads, Green Day, Off Broadway, Oasis, Black Crowes, Doors, SRV, Deep Purple, Black Eyed Peas, X, Cheap Trick, James Brown, The Stones, Wall of Voodoo...................+ way too many more to mention cuz it makes my skull hurt. By the way, my musical Anti-Christ acts are: ALL boy bands, (Although, admittedly, that chic Rico Suave can move), "new" country, (-sorry NASCAR Buds), white rappers (and all of their pathetic bitch disciples at the mall).
Who is your favorite band?
Whadda ya, Nuts?!?!!?!?!? THE SYNDICATE!!!!
Who Is you favorite entertainer?
Bill Murray. Hands freakin' down.
What instruments do you play in…The Syndicate?
I got me dis six-string outfit wit a bunch’a knobs and a cable stickin' outta it. It's named for some dude from the good ol’ days. -"Les Paul", or somethin' like dat?!. (Hey, I don't know what they put inside this bad boy, but it sings like a Mutha f#@%#*er!!) I play a similar four stringed version sometimes, but the strings are WAY fatter!! -'Sez "Precision" on the head, (whatever da hell dat is?!) Because of my A.D.D. condition, I like to keep busy, so I also started messin' around with some fancy electronics like keyboards, sequencers, samplers, and drum machines.
-And if they ever turn the juice off at da club, well, I can always whip out the ol' "Tin Sandwich". (Yo, dat's a HARMONICA, you Goombas!) The Boss also vocalizes, although he never "SINGS". Anyone else in The Family that doesn't get this distinction is in for some unfortunate travails. -Destination: Unknown.
What instrument would you like to play?
Yeah, dat’s a tough one. It’s definitely gotta be a stringed instrument, though. I tink I’ll choose da violin. Dat way, I’ll be able to play somethin’ real nice and classy in case of your funeral.
