Hi, I'm Old Damage (or "O.D.")
 
My new LP, "Tales from the Long Road" is just that - it’s been years of defunct bands, failed employments and compensatory intoxicants. I’m lucky to be alive. It’s been a long road and I’ve seen much. The only thing I can count on is channeling my experiences into song, which doesn’t count for much, really. It’s just what I do. I believe my audience enjoys what I can only describe as developed wisdom and matured melody.

New artist VINTAGE QUIXOTIC resurrects the ghosts of Hollywood’s past with The HOLLYWOOD BABYLON EP. VINTAGE QUIXOTIC is unlike any other musical experience. It is a TRIBUTE, a musical portal to all things OLD HOLLYWOOD: The Glamour, the Myths, the Legends! 

SCENARIO:
Vintage Quixotic performs songs that tell stories - true, beloved, controversial – all plucked from the rich history of Hollywood’s Golden Age where potential inspirations are limitless. Despite not primarily emulating the sounds of tinseltown’s bygone era, Vintage Quixotic pays a powerful homage to it via a contemporary mainstream edge sure to be embraced by movie and music fans of all ages! 

PREMIERE
Among the dazzling song tributes found on The HOLLYWOOD BABYLON EP, is the touching ballad, “A Song for Helen”, written for the stage and screen actress of the 20’s and 30’s, Helen Chandler. She is perhaps best known as the vulnerable Mina Seward opposite Bela Lugosi in his character-defining title role in 1931’s “Dracula”. Already a well-established star of the stage, Helen went on to appear in many films with other such notable co-stars as Ramon Navarro, Walter Huston, John Barrymore, and Katherine Hepburn. Sadly, her career floundered in the mid-thirties and she developed a dependency on alcohol. After enduring fading celebrity and two failed marriages, she eventually suffered a nervous breakdown and retired from show business. It wasn’t until 1949 that she was again in the public eye, this time under adverse circumstances. Mixing pills with alcohol, she fell asleep in bed in her Hollywood apartment. Her lit cigarette caused fire, resulting in third degree burns that left her face and upper body scarred. She lived in quiet and lonely obscurity thereafter until 1965, when she passed away at the age of 59. All but forgotten, she was cremated, and (as legend has it) her ashes remain unclaimed.

The title track, “Hollywood Babylon”, is based on the infamous book by Kenneth Anger. Name-checked in the lyrics are such tragic figures as Wally Reed, Paul Bern, Jean Harlow, Bobby Driscoll and Fatty Arbuckle. Moody and atmospheric, much like its inspiration, this tune pulls the curtain back and reveals the dark history of Hollywood.

Also among the array of grandiose songs in the VQ collection are tributes honouring a wide range of cinematic legends; a vintage slow-jazz number dedicated to the lovely Audrey Hepburn called “My Fair Audrey”; the Count rises again in the aptly heavy metal Gothic-styled tune, “Bela Lugosi’s Alive”; Italian classical guitar and soulful vocals dominate VQ’s salutation to one of the screens’ earliest and greatest male sex symbols – “Valentino”!
