Lover's Vengeance
Lover's Vengeance was my last band. It was a spin-off of Brass Monkey
w/o
bassist Greg Farson. Brass Monkey was a spin-off of Later when we lost
lead guitarist Wayne Addleman. In the tradition of the previous groups,
we specialized in jazz-influenced rock. We played six gigs between
November
4, 1972 (Lambda Chi Alpha triad) and March 2, 1973 (Elk's Club ROTC
formal).
Chris Taylor and I dreamed up the name, which represented the way in
which
we sublimated our frustrations from failed relationships into our
music.
