LONE VEIN
“If there were in fact a real Island of Misfit Toys…these guys would totally be the house band.”
Mix Lon Chaney with Frida Kahlo, add the color and elegance of Mexico’s Day-of-the-Dead with the decadent German cabarets of the 20’s & 30’s Weimar era and finish it off with a Rock ‘N Roll chaser…all taking place in Dr. Frankenstein’s lab, and you have an opening glimpse into the world of LONE VEIN.
With a multi-faceted sound, much like they’re colorful history, it continues to morph and evolve with time making their music always vital and urgent; staying steeped in the present.
The LONE VEIN vision began with Angela “Plain Jane” Rogers (Vocals) and Eddy Jo “Evil Eddy” Martinez (guitars) playing as a duo. It should be noted that this would not be your typical “singer-songwriter” easy-listening acoustic guitar strumming duo but rather two kindred electric spirits performing at full-tilt…capable of filling, consuming, and in some instances clearing large rooms usually leaving behind the afterthought: “How can two people make so much Goddamn noise!?”
This being said it would be a while before they would find band-mates who could match or at the very least keep up with their otherworldly energy and intensity…that is…until they crossed paths with the Conlon Clan.
Enter Paddymike Conlon (Drums) and Casey Conlon (bass guitar), a father & son duo bred on hard un-cut rock n’ roll from the other side of the tracks. To put it bluntly, if backed into a dark alley and forced into battle…rumble-style, you would want these two guys on your side.
The LONE VEIN you are about to experience is the merging of these two camps into one very sharp and focused punch in the chest. That is not to say that this highly unique act cannot display great subtlety and dynamics. In the LONE VEIN “soundscape” beauty and the grotesque co-exist together in harmony…much like life.
The result, when all these ingredients are mashed together, goes hand-in-hand with the original LONE VEIN intention: One sound, one voice, one vein…the main vein that runs directly from the heart. So without further delay press the play button.
