Vincent, Sonny -and Rocket From The Crypt-
Vintage Piss
Vintage Piss is the baby whose seed was planted on the 2003 Rocket From The Crypt US tour, which also paired some
members of the band with legendary 1970s New York outta control rock n roller Sonny Vincent. After the Swami release of
Vincents previous band Testors Complete Discography, Speedo (John Reis), Ruby Mars (Mario Rubalcaba) and The Notorious
ND (Andy Stamets) served as the mans backing band and slashed through his Testors repertoire resulting in a primo
barrage of 1970s neo-proto-punk. After one particularly meaty performance in Chicago amidst high fives and ass slaps
signifying a job well done, the inspiration to write and record new songs struck. Back in San Diego, late 2003, the
group incubated in Drag Racist Studio (where Rocket From The Crypt recorded Live From Camp X-Ray and Hot Snakes Suicide
Invoice). They employed a steam-of-consciousness approach to making noise by recording songs and ideas live in the
studio without rehearsal. With Vincents voice and blazing, James Williamson-esque Les Paul attack leading the way, the
band followed him into the punk abyss, emerging with a record that is both Sonny Vincent and Rocket From The Crypt.
Unfortunately, the studio and Swami Records became buried by transition. It was to be the last thing recorded at Drag
Racist before the studio shut its doors. The recording lay dormant, unmixed and unfinished. With the 2013 reformation of
Rocket From the Crypt and the continued rerelease of Sonny Vincent and Testors material, a rekindled interest in the
lost artifact of rock n roll led Swami to revisit these masters eleven years later. Tapes in various state of
degradation were baked and restored to playability, resulting in the unearthing of a true forgotten gem. Produced and
recorded by John Reis, mixed by Ben Moore, mastered by Dave Gardner at Magneto Mastering and featuring artwork by savage
visionary Chris WeThreeClub, Vintage Piss is essential for fans of Rocket From The Crypt, Sonny Vincent, Testors and
those attracted to the maverick, Cro-Magnon spirit of punk rocks beginnings..
