Frank Zappa, Alice Cooper, Miles Davis and Alex Harvey have inspired Skid Baxter,
the brainchild of musician/composer Vinnie "John" Salvatore.
Mr. Baxter is currently swinging the bass for swamp-rockers, Danballah, as they gig around central Ohio and work in the recording studio.This follows a two-plus year stint as bassist for Suspect Earth that saw the release of their album, Hard To Drag in 2007 on BoFi Recordings. Other items on the table The writing of music is a never-ending process, kind of like eating and sleeping, thereby making an album of new Skid Baxter music that much closer to becoming a reality. Asked about what people should expect, Mr. Baxter stated "people will think something completely different after hearing it than what they thought before they heard it." Outside of Skid Baxter are some special projects to be named later.
Re-issues coming soon!
Due to unrelenting requests, pestering and nagging, plans are underway to digitally remaster Highway to Corn and Peanut Hell (1995 - UBM 1802) and make it available on CD for the first time. This is the one that started it all...the one your parents warned you about. Also slated for re-issue is Tongue Tracks In Ice Cream (2003 - UBM 1806). This and more coming to you soon.
