What's Happening?

Here's the latest, plus the new additions to the website.

August 24 2000

WoW!

My apologies for the long long absence...

but we're back. Feb 11 1998 was the last update...I'm going to try and get this thing happening again. And that means...the cool giveaways of 97/98 will return...

What's Vernon been up to?

* funkyjungledubbreakbeatdrama...with a twist...
Veron has just started a project with DJ Logic called The Yohimbe Brothers.

* Miles to Go
He's producing a track, Miles to Go, on DJ Logic's as yet untitled album, with Graham Haynes on cornet.

* What ever happened to...Masque?
It's now a core quartet:
-> Marlon Browden on Drums.
-> Hank Schroy on Bass.
-> Leon Gruenbaum on keyboard and (of course) the Samchillian.

DJ Logic and Beans from anti-pop consortium are part of the extended Masque crew.

* And those shows in Argentina?
Masque just finished a weekend of shows in B.A....and loved it. According to Vernon, Argentina boasts some of the best crowds for Masque-esque music...they also loved sharing the stage with D.D. Jackson's group, and Brian Jackson's Fellowship.

* Back in NYC...
Cindy Blackman, Lenny Kravitz's lady-upon-the-throne, and Vernon have been working...Vernon guested at Cindy's show at The Jazz Standard...

* Sly Stone
Vernon was part of the
Black Rock Coalition's tribute to Sly Stone.

* Wasssuppp!
He's composing a soundtrack to Charles Stone's (Wasssuppp! Budweiser commercials, Funny Vibe, plus other LC favourites) debut film.

* And finally...had a nice lunch with...Will Calhoun.

Hi All,

Vernon will be touring some of the West Coast soon...don't know too much detail, but I'll put it up as it comes to hand. For now:

Santa Cruz, California at Palookaville
25 February at 8pm; tickets at bass.

San Francisco
with Trey Gunn, Percy Howard and Charles Hayward at the Maritime Hall
26 February.

If anyone finds more dates, mail me or post it to the guestbook.

Also, I'm working hard on another site at the moment, so this site's had to unfortunately suffer. The good news, however, is that this site will soon move to a quicker server with an easy address (no, it won't be not vernonreid.com) - stay tuned in the next month or so.

Peace!

August 20 1998

Vernon, Will and Doug played at The Bottom Line, NYC...the show was apparently awesome. Hope to have more info soon. Anyone with an article, write in!

Appologies that I haven't been updating the site as often as I would have liked. Sam and I have been hitting our Corey site pretty hard...so hard it's become THE Corey Site. It went official not long ago. Plus, my attention has been diverted to another related surprise website, which should be up reasonably soon.

Quote:

"Anything that smacks of freedom is seen as dangerous. That's why they want to destroy the Internet, that's why they want to be able to go in and look at your bookmarks so they can see what you've been pointing and clicking on. Anything that deals with freedom of spirit is very disturbing because freedom breeds anarchy in the minds of those who are trying to hold on to power."
