Colfax Avenue was the glorious gateway to the Rockies. The east-west corridor was lined with family motels — many built in the 1930s and 1940s — with oasis-like names: the Sands, the Bel-Aire, the Riviera, the Niagara and the Aristocrat. Then came Interstate 70, and traffic stopped flowing. Motels withered. And Colfax was never the same. . . #igsignage #everything_signage #signsunited #signcollective #vintage #sign #Americana #signaddict #signgeeks #urbanexplorer #signfishing #signsunited #neon #script #fontnerd #foundtype #fontastic #motel #motelregister #motels #motelsign #motelsigns #gas_food_lodging #roadsideamerica #tv_typography #tv_retrotype #jj_texttypographical (at Riviera Motel)

Battle #24

Vinnie Vincent Invasion: S/T ( Side B )

Vs.

Epoxies: Stop The Future ( Side 2 )

Vinnie Vincent Invasion: S/T ( Side B )

This story is a crazy one, so sit back and let me set the scene. There are so many ties that come in and out of this band for 80s rock that it’s not even funny. Forming the band in the mid-1980s, and after his departure from KISS, Vinnie Vincent recruited bassist Dana Strum, who had served as a talent scout in L.A. Strum recruited band members for the likes of Ozzy Osbourne. Strum had found both Jake E. Lee and the late Randy Rhoads for Ozzy Osbourne, so when Paul Stanley had contacted Osbourne to inquire about where he found the guitarists, he was given Strum's name. Unable to find anyone KISS considered to be on Vincent's level, Strum decided to find Vincent himself in hopes of working together. Bobby Rock came on board as the drummer. With the nucleus of the band completed, the band searched for a lead vocalist. That would end up being former Journey singer Robert Fleischman. He provided vocals on Vinnie Vincent Invasion's self-titled debut album. The record is largely glam metal, with much of it being re-worked versions of demos Vincent recorded in 1982 with former New England members Hirsch Gardner, Gary Shea, and Jimmy Waldo under the band name Warrior. Hopefully you’re still following along because those are some pretty impressive names and we’re not done yet. Warrior achieved some success with Vincent essentially replacing John Fannon as guitarist and vocalist of New England, Warrior disbanded once Vincent was selected to be a member of KISS. After the release of this self titled debut, Fleischman exited and was replaced with new vocalist Mark Slaughter. With Slaughter now on board, the band released their second album, All Systems Go in May 1988. The album featured one of the group's best-known hits, "Ashes to Ashes," and "Love Kills," which appeared on the A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master soundtrack.

Later in 1988, the band was released from their contract with Chrysalis Records. Having grown annoyed with what they perceived to be Vincent's domination of the project, Slaughter and Strum left to form the band Slaughter, which would go on to have success. Whew! Got all that? Some big wigs of 80s rock for sure. The next question is then, who is this Vinnie Vincent anyway? Born Vincent John Cusano he is an American guitarist and songwriter. He is a former member of the rock band Kiss, brought in to replace Ace Frehley. He was a member from 1982 until mid-1984 during the band's transition out of their makeup period. Sidebar: Vincent was the last member to wear a unique makeup/costume configuration, as the character of The Ankh Warrior. The Vinnie Vincent Invasion was his next logical incarnation post KISS. So what does this invasion sound like anyway? Well, “Do You Wanna Make Love” starts it off with a very Kiss like riff. High pitched and wailing. Reminds me of Winger. The more mellow and somber ballad type song follows with “Back On The Streets”. It’s still quite solid with power chord chunks and screaming metal leads. Possibly one of the better tunes on Side B. Now, the next cut, “I Wanna Be Your Victim” totally borrows from the KISS tune “Heavens on Fire”. The riff is eerily similar. Not sure who is truly credited first, but....that’s a debate for someone else. The lyrical content may have been at fault for no radio support on this one. I can hear the hit bleeding through though. It’s a fairly decent tune. “Baby-O” is next. This one has more accessible portions that lean towards pop metal. The bleeting vocals are a little off putting but the tones are all OK, but nothing punches through the STRAT-o-sphere (#seewhatididthere). Actually I have no idea if he plays a strat, it just sounded like a good pun. The (angelic noises) title track (end noises) “Invasion” is next. It’s definitely the most produced and beefy and really different. Hmm what kind of invasion is going on here? Alien? Privacy? Seems to be a love invasion! And it seems like there would be a video for this one. One thing is for sure, it seems like Vinnie was out to prove something with this album. I think he was successful.

Epoxies: Stop The Future ( Side 2 )

Words can really not express how much love this band. When I say love, I mean this is the band I aspire to be in. It’s synth, pop, punk, rock ... all of it. If

two of my favorite bands, Devo and The Ramones had a love child, this would be it, 100%. They formed in Portland, Oregon in the year 2000 (sounds super sciencey doesn’t it?) and was heavily influenced by new wave. The group's music is a novel synthesis (#seewhatididthere) of punk rock and new wave but their lyrics are strictly focused on science fiction themes, Atomic Age futurism, alienation and consumerism. Robots, androids, clones and nuclear weapons all figure prominently in the Epoxies' lyrics. They were first known as the Adhesives before discovering that another group with that name existed, so they did the punk rock workaround. My time in music has been largely centralized around the underground and punk rock in general. I have always loved new wave and the 80s. By large punk rock has helped shape my beliefs and values and so when a band came along that fused all of these things, I was on board. Perfect timing too, as the punk scene was becoming stagnant for me. Almost Single-handedly this band kept my interest in the genre as I considered moving on (I mean there were my pals The Copyrights and The Ergs, too). Their purposefully “outdated” and “uncool” sound (that what the band says they were going for at the time) were fresh sounding relief to my longing ears. The band (perhaps accidentally) really stumbled on to something too, as soon after a LOT of mainstream acts were sounding like them. It’s jus5 retro enough, but still futuristic too. It’s difficult to explain the originality in sameness to anyone unfamiliar with the variables. Sadly the band called it quits around 2007. Stop The Future is their second and last studio album, but it’s a real gem, so hold on to your Energy Domes, spuds! Here we go! “Stop The Future” is the title track and a blistering, space rock, surfy instrumental. Not much else to say (#seewhatididthere) except it’s pretty tight and leads perfectly into “Struggle Like No Other”. With the Punky nuggets and four on the floor Blitz, this is a punk rock show case showdown. Quick, no frills, and deadly precision. The only flashpoint is that it does appear to come across as filler. “No Interest” has a good mid-tempo groove and really highlights the harmonies that Roxy and the band can accomplish together. I suppose that is one underrated element of the band that’s hard to translate. The band conveys unity through the music. Just the sense that they are all friends and having fun together. That’s hard to do, and honestly I could just be inferring this. Anyway, the sci-fi themes and range are what grabs your attention. “You Kill Me” is next, and one of the main tunes I think of when I think about this band. It has an almost swing beat, and really might as well contain a swinging bat too, because they hit it out of the park here! One of my favorites. “At The Seams” is another quick one to remind us that they are first and foremost punk rock and held together by stitches. The last two tunes are “It’s You” (a more straight ahead pop punk number) and “Toys”. On the latter, the 80s come alive! Nice sound FX and a pretty good, locked in groove. Diversity for the band with beautiful moments of keyboard serenity. Yes, for sure...THIS is the band I desperately long to form. It’s a perfect blend of DEVO and A Flock Of Seagulls meets Mr. T Experience and Green Day. I mean, they even use the checkbook font (#fontnerd) so...how could I NOT like them?!.

Today Vinnie Vincent Invasion did just that. Invade RRW’s battlefield and give us a show. The guy just looks like he knows he’s that good. They burned 165 calories over 5 songs and 23 minutes. That is 33.0 calories burned per song and 7.17 calories burned per minute. VVI earned 10 out of 15 possible stars. The Epoxies tried to stop the future because they are radically stuck in the past, but it’s OK because they are great at it! They burned 145 calories over 19 minutes and 7 songs. The averages are 20.71 calories burned per song and 7.63 calories burned per minute. The Epoxies earned 17 out of 21 possible stars. Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars Vinnie, because The Epoxies went over the top and walk away today’s champs!

The Epoxies : “You Kill Me”. Well, that’s the track I wanted to play, but nothing exists so here’s the whole dang album! Enjoy :)

Dear Lord, the mountain of my circumstances seems so large, yet when I look to you as the source of my strength, it becomes insignificant. My faith seems small, yet when I place it in the Creator's hands, it can produce a greater harvest than I could ever imagine. Lord, take my tiny seed of faith, and multiply it with your strength, wisdom, and guidance. Thank you for assuring my heart that nothing is impossible with you. AMEN 🙏🏿 🙏🏿 🙏🏿 How many times have we faced mountains and felt that our faith was small and insufficient? We might have asked ourselves how God could remove a mountain in light of the fact that our faith is so inadequate. Perhaps we’ve even considered surrendering to the circumstances that stand in our way🙌🏼 . . . This was an assignment submission at Christopher Haanes’ Carolingian workshop using brause 2.0mm and J.
