Hello peoples!!!
NDV here, I have been fairly busy since the big giant super enormous Rewiring Genesis show. Some great pics were taken by Gruno and some people in the audience, Check them out. Who ever took them that you very much!

I would also like to invite you to a show I have coming up in Nashville Tennessee. I was already scheduled to come out there for a recording session with the most fabulous Leticia Wolf. My rewiring partner Mark Hornsby did a little leg work and also landed me a gig!! WHOO HOO!!! I'll be performing some new NDV songs along with a couple old ones, some Spock's Beard tunes, maybe even a Kevin Gilbert tune, and whatever other stuff I can get together. Since I don't know exactly what that is yet it will just have to be a surprise :)

Since I will also be recording for Laticia we have added her to the bill and by pure coincidence another fab artist I play/record with out here in LA, Janet Robin, will also be on the bill. Janet is a great singer/songwriter/guitarist I have been working with for many years now. She along with the guitarist and 3rd member of our power trio Jesse Stern were already planning on being in Nashville during the exact same week as me for other stuff. Jesse has some sessions and Janet is recording with John Carter Cash. It's crazy how the stars aligned for this one. To sum this all up, since we are all going to be there we are all going to jam!!!
Here are the details of the gig and I hope to see you all there:

On the Spock's Beard front I would like to personally thank everyone who has donated for the new CD. I have been recording drums on some of the demos over the past couple of weeks and let me tell that there is some really great stuff happening. We are going to put up some bits and pieces for you all to hear in the near future. Thank you again!!!

Take care everybody, NDV

Hello one and all!

A lot of things are going on at the moment and here they are:

1. If you haven't got your ticket for the big big really super huge show this Saturday then you should. I am performing the Genesis tribute CD I released in Whittier at 8:30pm. We have a 15piece band with a giant horn section and all the bells and whistles. Even Spock's is going to do a set after the Lamb performance is over so come on down and be a part of an exiting night. I would love to see you all there!

2. I have made a fantastic new record with the amazing Thomas Lang. The band is called TERABITE

If you don't know who Thomas is he is just one of the greatest drummers out there.

Drummer you say? Why aren't you playing drums? Well I am. On 2 songs and Thomas plays the rest and when you hear it you will know why. It is a different kind of project for me. It is kind of Metal/Muso/Proggy/ mash up. Thomas just kills and we also have a bevy of great musicians who helped us out. I sing lead and play some guitar/bass/keys and like I said, drums on two of the tracks. As of now you can only get the record on iTunes. We will be releasing hard copies in the near future but for now you can buy it there.

Just to let you all know in case you don't like getting records with explicit lyrics, I say one "bad" word on the track BLAST. Because of that they have to put that disclaimer on there. Other then that it is clean. A little dark but clean.

3. I put up the last of my TEARS FOR FEARS vlogs up onto YouTube. Here is the link for the latest one and when you are there you can also check out all of the others.

4. Last but most certainly not least, Spock's Beard is making our new CD independently with your help. We are taking donations to help fund the new CD. Click on over to the SB website and you can get all of the details. We have different levels of involvement that you can do. Quite a few other artists have done this and we feel this is a good way to go at this time.

OK everyone, that is about it for now.
All the best!!!
NDV

Greetings from San Francisco!

I am writing to let you all know that I have been doing VIDEO BLOGS from the Tears For Fears summer tour.
I am doing them from my perspective. Showing off my gear, a little bit from the pre-show, and then some of me playing.
