bio





Vasquez is a three piece Rock band based in New York City's Lower East Side. The band consists of Ricky Bacchus: guitars/vocals, Sami Yaffa (ex Hanoi Rocks): bass, and Eric Kuby: Drums.

The band formed in early 1997,when Ricky left D Generation. Ricky writes the songs, his influences are far reaching and eclectic (Oh Boy!). for example if ricky could have written any song, at any time, he would have written "Wild Thing" by The Troggs. While not living in a fantasy world, Ricky is just as happy listening to Portisheads "Live @ Roseland" or Miles Davis' "Sketches Of Spain", Go figure?

Vasquezhave toured NYC's Lower East Side extensively. They play Continental, Don Hills, The Lakeside Lounge, Manitoba's and CBGB on a fairly regular basis. They've been compared to Hendrix's Band Of Gypsies, The Stone Roses and Radiohead.

Ricky and Sami also play in Mad Juana With Karmen Guy on vocals, Sami on Bass and Ricky on guitar.
