Music Notes|

5 band members

Vivid Black: Randy G. Connell, Don DiMasi,
Theresa Wand, Stan Monroe, and Bryce Feist (from Stan’s Facebook page)

As a group, we have determined that market conditions are not conducive to continuing our musical enterprise now or in the foreseeable future. Maybe it would best be called an Indefinite Hiatus.

All of us are incredibly proud of this band. We have given it our all for ten years and we believe we have put out an exceptional product. So, this is not easy. But all of us are still the best of friends. The five of us have been a musical family for so long it is difficult to imagine it ending. This band may not play again but our friendships will remain.

More than anything, we value those of you who have joined us for our shows. Many of you have become dear friends. We never really did it for the money. We did it because it is an excuse to hang out with you guys while doing what makes us happy – making music.

Each of us will go our own separate musical ways, but I am pretty sure all five of us will continue making music. It is just something we can’t stop doing. Ever.

For me, I will play for another 20 years. I will always be making music as long as I can walk or crawl onto a stage. (Or as long as people want to hear me play.) And, if I am really lucky, I will take my last breath on a stage.

I am sure Don, Theresa, Randy, and Bryce feel pretty much the same way.

Vivid Black has been the center of our lives for a very long time and we have collected amazing memories and a bazillion photos over the years. It is our hope that our little garage band may have helped bring some joy to this world. Because I can promise you, you have all brought joy to me and all the members of Vivid Black.

Keep rocking, and see you on a stage somewhere soon!

We love you all!
