vamp

There are at least three bands named Vamp: 1. Vamp is a folk rock band from Haugesund, Norway, which was started in 1991. The band's musical profile is a mix of Norwegian folk music, Celtic music and rock. Members: Torbjørn Økland (guitar, mandolin, bouzouki, trumpet, chorus), Øyvind Staveland (violin, viola, accordion, flute, vocals), Carl Øyvind Apeland (bass, guitar, keyboards, chorus), Paul Hansen (vocal, guitar), Odin Staveland (keyboard, drums, guitar, vocals). 2. VAMP is a classic hard rock band from Germany. Line-Up: Tom Bellini - vocals, Oliver Scholz - bass, Ricolf Cross - guitar, Dicki Fliszar - drums. They released the album The Rich Don't Rock in 1989, to very good reviews, but the album went nowhere commercially due to a lack of support from the Dive-bomb record label. The album was unavailable for decades, until a deluxe re-issue came out in 2012. 3. Following the demise of London-based psychedelic rock band Sam Gopal Dream in early 1968, Sam Gopal started a new band under his own name. Meanwhile, 'SGD' members Andy Clark, Mick Hutchinson and Pete Sears formed a new band with Viv Prince (previously in The Pretty Things). This short-lived outfit was called Vamp and released the druggy single 'Floatin'' (1968) on Atlantic before splitting up again. Read more on Last.fm.
