I'm privileged to have played with the same band, off and on, for the last two decades or so.
Verge is rock electronic funny weird music. I wandered into it in the basement of an ex-funeral home: it was my first band in New York City when I was looking for a place to play my electronic wind instrument, really my only rock band ever.
This is music from a younger, more innocent era,
we actually took our pens and wrote tiny notes on paper and called them songs
or simply browbeat other musicians
to move their fingers, arms and feet as we told them to
and physically produce musical notes,
with only the most primitive of digital effects
and those at the very end.
Verge is having our 20th Anniversary concert at 6/07/08 at 9:10:11.
You'll be hearing such beloved classics as
An indeterminate but fairly large number of musicians have worked with or been a member of Verge at some time or other and we've managed to gather together a fairly small percentage of them, but enough to include the original key four members
Jeremy Weirdo, Tom Swirly, Ray "The Waterman" Martyn and Bob Jakuc,
as well at least half a dozen other performers, prima donnas or pretenders from other periods of Verge over the last two decades.
We've booked a really superb space for this show, extremely comfortable with a fine sound system and a top-notch engineer, so mark June 7 on your calendar for our twentieth anniversary show, as it certainly won't be repeated until the end of the world.
