New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Known for (what the band likes to call)
Modern Classic Rock, Neon Alley takes you back to an era when Rock wasn�t about making a quick buck, but about songs written and performed from the heart.
BAND:
David Vaccaro � Lead vocals, guitars, keyboards. Mike McDonald � Bass, Vocals. Scott Marion �
Drums & percussion
BACKGROUND:
David Vaccaro�s story in music has a rare upward sweep. Vaccaro has journeyed from hardscrabble
Boston club dates to the 90�s music scene of Los Angeles and creative collaborations with some of melodic rock�s platinum selling vocalists. With the self-titled debut album of his new band Neon Alley (out on DMV Music), Vaccaro revisits that visceral soulfulness of his early days. This collection of originals including a cleverly re-imagined cover is perfectly crafted for sweat-soaked live performances.
And Neon Alley has been doing just that, sweat-soaked live performances in clubs in and around Central Massachusetts, working their live show and earning a reputation as one of the best live bands in the area.
David�s previous CD releases under the band name V-Project include Lost Demos and New Machine.
Lost Demos, for the most part an acoustic rock CD, features collaborations and vocals by
Robin McAuley (Grand Prix, McAuley Schenker Group, Survivor, Raiding The Rock Vault),
James Christian (House of Lords),
Christopher Post (Dillinger) and
Dennis Gresham.
V-Project�s Lost Demos garnered glowing reviews (see insert) from magazines and blogs in both the U.S. and Europe.
Vaccaro soon began work on his second CD that would be titled New Machine.
With
Robin McAuley once again lending his distinctive vocal edge to four of the CD�s tracks, New Machine was a decidedly more amped up affair. A big step forward as well for Vaccaro as he is featured for the first time on five of the CD�s tracks in a lead vocal capacity, making over half of the CD, a one man show.
Reviews of V-Project�s New Machine were very positive, with the tracks You Don�t Care and Disclaimer receiving significant airplay on secondary radio markets around the US and on internet podcast radio shows.
NEON ALLEY: With his new 3-piece power trio�Neon Alley, Vaccaro is poised to give fans a neon blast of guitar-driven modern classic rock. In support of the new CD release the band has teamed up with
Boston film
Director Vladimir Minuty to create videos for the first two singles That�s How It Is and I Only Want To Be With You.
