Vinny Ramone

An avid collector of music, having started his obsession at a very young age with his 1st LP record - The Doors' Morrison Hotel - an 8th birthday pressie, a year before Jim checked out for good ... do the maths ! Vinny progressed to going to rock gigs at the age of 13 - Alice Cooper at the ol' Showground. In his high school years punk broke and then for Vinny it was all about Elvis & the Attractions, the Clash and da brothers Ramone. During the 80's the Sydney indie music scene peaked and Vinny was there 7 nights a week jumping to the Sunnyboys and in awe at the sheer beauty of the music of the Triffids and the Go-Betweens. Cut to the present and Vinny these days is still the avid collector of music - though more the alt-country Americana thang and sounds from Norway - also dividing his time between watching the price of oil per barrel, running a football (soccer) club and bringing up kids on a healthy diet of Ryan Adams, Wilco and Johnny Cash ...
