February 15, 1991. In 1990, when punk band Art School disbanded, bassist Perry Finch and guitarist Mike Wing formed
Vambo Marble Eye with drummer Larry Zengel, taking their name from
a song by the The Sensational Alex Harvey Band.
Vambo soon moved to Chicago (Zengel being replaced by Kevin Smith), releasing several 7" and a couple of albums during the remainder of the decade. Finch eventually went on to found
Off White Records.
Without a doubt, my favorite BG band from back in the day. Two Trick Pony is a must have for any collector of indie gems. Mike and Perry once played a live acoustic set on my radio show back in '93 and I was like a kid on Xmas morning...
