Vittorio 'Vic' Vergeat (born: May 15, 1951) first rose to prominence as guitarist, primary vocalist and songwriter of blues rock, hard rock, psychedelic rock band Toad, whom he formed with bassist-vocalist Werner Frohlich, and drummer Cosimo Lampis in 1970. They achieved considerable European success between 1971 and 1979 with three studio albums ("Toad" [1971]; "Tomorrow Blue" [1973]; and "Dreams [1975]) and numerous singles (including a cover of Jimi Hendrix's "Purple Haze" and the Beatles' "I Saw Her Standing There"), in addition to their popular and awe-inspiring live shows (as captured on "Live in Basel" [recorded 1972]; "Yearnin' Learnin'" [recorded 1978]; and "Toad on the Road" [recorded 1978]. In 1979, after being propositioned chiefly by Harvest Records, Vic Vergeat (under the name 'Vic Vergat'), working with future Ratt drummer Bobby Blotzer, and bassist-vocalist Tom Croucier (brother of Ratt bassist-vocalist Juan Croucier), produced Vic's first solo album, 'Down to the Down' (1981). [The title track of which had been performed live by Toad as early as the mid-70s, but had went unrecorded in the studio.] The album, with more emphasis on hard rock and heavy metal, was considerable hit, breaking into the Top 50 on Billboard, with a tour, and numerous TV appearances abounding. However, record executives' building pressure on Vic to adapt a more hair metal style conflicted with his softer, melodic and blues based roots, and so following the tour's conclusion, Vic returned to Europe. In 1982 he formed the short-lived New Wave, synthesizer-influenced band, The Bank, which released one superb album, (presently un-remastered,) "Victims of a Mystery" [1985] before disbanding, with Vic subsequently reforming Toad in 1986, with "Classic Era" (1970 - 79) drummer, Cosimo Lampis returning, but former The Bank bassist, Kelvin Bullen, replacing original bassist, Werner Frohlic. Lampis would remain until 1993, when be was replaced by Claudio Salsi, who would see the band through its farewell tour of 1994-'95, with Andre Buser having additionally replaced Kelvin Bullen on bass, circa. 1990. In 1993, the band released its first new studio album in eighteen years (since 1975's "Dreams): "Hate to Hate" (1993 and a.k.a., "Stop This Crime") and toured behind it until 1994 before disbanding before the new year. He continues to record and tour in Europe. He is heavily influenced by Jimi Hendrix, covering (as previously mentioned); "Purple Haze"; "Red House" (in this concert, as well as on "Yearnin' Learnin' [1978]"); and the Band of Gypsies' "Who Knows" (on "Live in Basel, 1972"). During the 1970s, he also frequently played with his teeth (as can be partially seen in "Toad on the Road" [1978], available on YouTube elsewhere). Tom Croucier subsequently formed the short-lived (and also underappreciated) Life By Night, whom released one, stellar album in 1985, and in which he wrote or co-wrote all the original material and sang, before working with a reunited Vanilla Fudge and Air Pavilion, with Bobby "Blotz" Blotzer joining Ratt. Musikladen ("The Music Shop") [1972-84] was a German television show that spawned off of the 1960s Beat Club program. #heavymetal #bluesrock, #hardrock, #psychedelicrock, #powertrio
