About Me

Hi there. I play bass for The Holy Curse and Dimi Dero Inc, most of the time. And for the Inc (our trio thang when Dimi's busy) and Penelope Inc (Penny Ikinger + Dimi + me) too. I also collaborated with Simon Chainsaw (Aus/Brazil). All these bands/people have their own myspace pages, so if you want to get in touch with em, check those (but I'll pass messages, though). This is more of a private thing, i.e. I'm interested in your music, I already know you, or you're interested in my music (in which case I probably already know you, ha!). But I'll take job offers, as a proof reader or a musician, here. Well, not as a musician, only as a bassist. Lefthanded playing upside down, on top of that. The rest of my life you don't wanna know. So quit reading right now, go down to the local pub and support your local bands. Cheers V.

Vinz. bassiste pour The Holy Curse et Dimi Dero Inc, la plupart du temps. Et pour les Inc en trio (quand Dimi fait autre chose) et Penelope Inc (c.a.d. Penny Ikinger + Dimi + moi). J'ai aussi joué avec Simon Chainsaw (Bra/Aus). Tous ces groupes ont leur propre page myspace, donc si vous voulez les contacter spécifiquement, passez par leurs pages (mais je transmettrai si nécessaire, bien sûr). Cette page est plus un truc privé, pour ceux dont j'aime la musique, que je connais déjà ou qui aiment ma musique (auquel cas je les connais déjà, sûrement!). Ah, si vous voulez me proposer un boulot de correcteur, je suis partant, bien sûr. Ou un show pour un de mes groupes. Ou un job de bassiste. qui joue à l'envers, à l'envers (oui, deux fois à l'envers). De bassiste, pas de musicien, hein! Le reste, ça vous intéresse pas donc plutôt que de lire n'importe quoi sur myspace, descendez au club du coin, je suis sûr qu'il y a un bon groupe qui vous attend. Tchin. V.
