** Victory and the Lads [bio]
Let Mark Hall's fingers do the walkin'; just close your eyes and turn lead into gold, sparks of magic, the bright trails of spinning, convoluting, mind-blowing colors, like stained-glass illumined by a nuclear blast! Shards of day-glo and mobius-stripped clouds that emit from his guitar. "What key is that in? G-sharp purple?" Maybe. Or was it that ten-strip of old Owsley that someone dropped in your beer? You may never know, but damn, you like this playing...
Sexuality is a continuum, and if you are anywhere on the side that digs girls, you will find yourself living lustily. Jai Milx inspires an all-out let-it-loose holler, she's got what it takes to lay you flat, boy. Need a hand getting up? They say Americans don't like royalty, but the illegality of her noise, if they ever outlaw passion, her fervor and slunty brilliance will get her arrested. You're on your own. Jai's got her own thing goin' on, and that's why you can't help but love her.
Temptation. Desire. Surrender. Erie, Pennsylvania's favorite son, the "Chief of Beef", Benjamin Greene. shifting with ease from style to style. Whether behind the drum kit or the bass, Benjamin can always be counted on to sling supercharged streams of his sonic secret sauce into your adoring ears. Guaranteed to addle you in your saddle. You'll want to roll him up, give him a twist, and smoke him.
Freakazoid syncopation engineer Jim Mulhearn steps in and out of every V & the L tune like a coy visitor from Pittsburgh, you say? And before that, Jersey? A naked ride down a greasy spiral banister. A stumble out of fog into spotlights and a crowd. Now lulling you along with a steady line on the bass, then pounds the skins and smacks the bass with relentless furor and inspired dynamism. Are you safe? Who cares, when you get a thrill like this!
Of course, all four members of the band sing variously. Switching instruments onstage
during set, Victory and the Lads provide an interesting and dynamic show, traversing a wide range
of emotional and musical territory.
