Vampire Sex Chain crawled onto the "alternative" music scene
with their unique brand of pop-goth in the 1980's. The "Vamps" were
David Lashmar also known as "Zeptae" (Vocals/Guitar) - later to be
involved in Syringe, Choke On Candy, Nikki T, Devious01, and Zeptae,
Calvin Hager (Guitar) - later to be involved in headphone overtone,
Blue, Hollowphonic, and Make Joy Cry, Daniel Wintermans (Bass) - later
to be involved in Blue, headphone overtone and Make Joy Cry, and Cindy
LeMaitre (Drums) - later to be involved in Blue.
V.S.C. only managed to bleed out one self-titled album which was
recorded in Hamilton, Canada at Crystal Turtle Studios. Vampire Sex
Chain met with almost immediate success receiving wide radio airplay.
The recording ended up at the top of many college and university
stations across North America. The popularity of this album spread fast
and it wasn't long until teens in Australia, South America, and Japan
were gobbling up Vampire Sex Chain recordings too!
Unfortunately, before V.S.C. could ink a recording deal with one of the
interested major labels, the band members ran into an impasse on the
future direction of the band and they split up in 1990.
David Lashmar remastered the Vampire Sex Chain album in 2005.
Although Vampire Sex Chain is no more, their pioneering musical style
can be felt in many of today's top "alternative" acts. |
