Playing over thirty instruments,
Mr. SPIT creates and records all his music himself. He employs
the help of his wife, Jacqueline, and others to help him hammer
out his sophisticated arrangments live. His live demeanor can
best be described as a cross between a musician and a game show
host. Mr. SPIT incorporates combinations of music, poetry, short
stories, contests, choreographed dancing, audience participation,
along with a variety of stage antics into what is now being called
a variety show for the millenium.
On record, his musical styles run the gamut. From beat steady
industrial anthems to powerful cyber-punk jaunts to big band swing
tunes to full-blown orchestral pieces, Mr. SPIT displays an amazing
flair for composition. His use of verbal soundbites from radio,
television, and film mixed with his own dynamic vocals carriage
the listener from serious reflection to hysterical laughter.
His first vinyl release, "Road Pizza", hit #32 in England
on John Peel's Top 50 for 1988. His LP, "You Would if You
Loved Me", was nominated for best LP for 1989 by WMMR radio
in Philadelphia and Big Shout Magazine. He was proclaimed a local
hero by The University of Delaware newspaper and has charted on
almost every college station in the country.
This year SPIT releases his fourteenth record in fifteen years
titled, "America's Sweetheart". This CD is an excellent
showcase of Vinnie SPIT's abilities.
