Velvet Acid Christ Flashback #1: The legend of Orange Disaster.

Sometime in 1992. Some idiot got drunk and spilled orange juice and vodka on our only keyboard that we made everything on, our roland w-30 sampler. That good old 12 bit sampler. Sounded good and was reliable, we ran it through this mixer from the 70s that was mono, we faked stereo with the monitor channel. This is when VAC was this really fat guy named }{%{}%(censored), and this freak who called himself Disease Factory. We spent the next week taking apart the entire synth and manually cleaning by hand every part to get the sticky crap off, all the buttons stuck when pressed and the keyboard mis fired. This was one of the most depressing moments in VAC history, because this was the only keybaord we could afford and owned at this time.

I can remember wondering if we would ever get it to work again, i remember tediously cleaning everything, and putting it together and then it still stuck, we had to take it apart and put it back together three fucking times, clean each part by hand, and there were hundreds of parts, it was a nighmare. This drunk person was not even in VAC at the time. These were the beginings, this was the era of oblivion interface, the first VAC ever made. I was a psychopath then. I remembered wanting to beat someones ass so fucking bad. Good thing i didn’t. It might of voided VAC all together if I had. This event lead to many things in vac changing for the better in the end. This guy who ruined our sampler was one of toxic coma’s best members, who would later on join the vac crew. He more than made up for it later. We did get the keyboard to work again, but my access to it was short lived after that event when the big fat dude i was in the band with decided to break into houses, i had no idea, i would of never let him if i had known. He was doing this all along to fund His drug habbits. He got caught, went to jail. The funny thing was, that we even tried and failed to steel gear to fund VAC. We were all poor at the time, doing lsd and smoking a lot of pot listening and trying to create some of the weirdest music out there. I looked to strange to get a job then, this was way before hot topic, nin, and manson made goth trendy. After I cleaned the W-30, and on the day my band mate left forever, i wrote “Cease to Understand, click to listen”, in 1992 which was about relationships deteriorating and ceasing, and later in 2008 became the main theme of my last release “The Art of Breaking Apart”. Funny how things work. END……..
