VOMF (Detroit Punk & Roll)

Bio:

VOMF. Very Ordinary MF's. Very Odd MF's ---- Big Dick Pasquale -- Drums & Vox, Mess Messal -- Bass, and T. Paruszkiewicz (pronounced "paris-skay-vich") -- Guitar & Vox. Born out of drummer Pasquale's need to play VERY FAST and singer/guitarist Paruszkiewicz's love for his native Hamtramck, Michigan's skateboard and polka scene, the band's first inception was formed in 1998 -- and lasted just a tad longer than one of their songs. They broke up within the year. However, the seed was germinating. Based on an ideology that a song must say everything it has to within a minute and a half or less, in 2007 the band reformed and recorded its full-length, self-titled debut album -- digitally released in 2008 via Internet Music Media, and now just becoming available in CD format at the start of 2009 exclusively via Transphonic Records (Unisex Salon, Kraterface) -- and are ready to piss someone off. They have toured extensively in the tri-state area (MI, IN, OH) and are probably playing they're next gig in a basement near you. But then again probably not, cuz the band recently relocated to Los Angeles to be nearer to Paruszkiewicz's ever-expanding soundtrack work. Very Ordinary. Very Odd. Very Original. VOMF!
