371.0. "Vice" by BTO::BAGDY_M (25 Shopping days till Christmas !) Wed Nov 30 1988 07:16

    
    	Has  anyone  heard  of the band `Vice' ?  They're supposedly 
    based  out  of  Worcester ( or  Woosta' for  those in Mass. :^)).
    They were on a local radio station last night doing an interview
    and  promo  for an up and coming album, and they're also playing
    at  a  couple of the local bars.  Club New England - Tuesday and
    Wednesday - Bullwinkles - Thursday, Friday  and  Saturday nights. 
    
    	They  album  name  is tentatively `Hot, Just Lookin' at You',
    and  they  played  a  few  tracks off it.  Kinda' sound a little 
    like  Dokken  and Helix, and in fact, the guitarist made mention
    that  most  of  their influences were by Queensr�che, Dokken and
    Kiss.  The  album  is  in  the process of being signed to Savage
    records out of London, England.  Not too bad, loads of harmonies
    and  keyboards, but  definate  Dokken  influence when the guitar
    plays  leads.  What  was  it  you called `em Buck, Lynch lines ?
    
    	Not  bad . . although  I wouldn't rate them HEAVY METAL, but
    there are DEFINATE HM influences.  Good harmonies though !

    I used to play in a band called Vice in college, so this is the
    band we always had fights with over copyrights, etc.
    
    Have fun Matt, don't drink too much!
371.2Another ViceMEMV01::BURKESurf Route 2....Wed Nov 30 1988 09:5418
    
    Hi,
    
    I believe there was a band called Vice from Connecticut quite a
    while ago, it featured guitaris Chris Impelliteri (sp), he now
    has a band named after himself, from LA I believe... has anyone
    seen them on the Head Bangers' Ball..? (i didn't really like them
    that much)..
    
    Anyway, Vice used to play the Illustrious Mohawk Club in Shirley
    Mass before it became a used car sales...
    
    btw::  Chris used to also be in a band called QT Hush which used
    to be an AC DC Clone band, but they eventually changed their stuff
    to be all different types of cover tunes.. they were pretty fun..does
    anyone remember them?  They played at the Mohawk also..

371.10WHERES Club NewEngland you ask??BTO::PORTERCWed Nov 30 1988 13:0119
    
    		oh my, oh my, you never heard of Club NewEngland...re:-2
    	well, i suppose if you don't live in Vermont then maybe you
    	wouldn't know......it's S.Burlington, Vermont
    		very big night club with plenty of action(i call it
    	the meat market) and a good size stage, they've actually have
    	had some well know bands play their before!
    		lead singer for the TALKING HEADS (don't know his name)
    		but i'm drawing a blank on some of the other bands
    		that were there
    		wait....a few band members of Santana and The Grateful
    		Dead did a show there too....
    		there have been better groups there, just not coming
    		to me right now, oh well, i'll probably go check this
    		Vice out tonight seeing how it's only 5 MILES down the
    		road from me, I'll let you guys know what i think of
    		them tommorrow!!!

371.11MY REVIEW (IMO) last nights show!BTO::PORTERCThu Dec 01 1988 07:3515
    
    
    	re::.8
    		well, as it turns out you were right, this is the Vice
    	that you were talking about..... field, i'm sure he was their
    	drummer, he had his name all over his drum set!!
    		as  far as their music, i only stayed for the first
    	set but thought that they had a good show and a good R'n'R 
    	sound....talk about Queensryche influence,i guess, they did
    	one of their own tunes and it had QR all over it.
    		they also did a couple of VanHAlen covers that sounded
    	pretty tight and a Dokken number that was good too. 
    		
    					definetly worth checking out!!!

    RE: .11
    	Thanks Cameron - Like I said from what I heard on WIZN, they
    were  R&R  with  METAL  influences - I liked what I heard on the
    radio and can't wait till they get that album out !
