Vision Patch News

Update June 2, 2010

Time for a yearly update. You can now download the tracks from Tippy's with full track information that will show up in your ITunes. Still no idea if there will be any new Vision Patch recordings in the near future.

Update May 16, 2009

Can't believe over two years have passed since the last update. Many changes have occurred to all previous band members. Anyone who wants to know, find them on facebook.

Check back occassionally there is a chance that some NEW VISION PATCH RECORDINGS may be available in the next year. Do not expect too much heavy music, actually do not expect much of anything, as this could include better versions of older songs and some new songs that may follow in the vein of Random & Strange Folk. We simply have no idea what will be on here.

The VP History has been moved to the bio section. Also thank to the Internet Archive Wayback Machine many of our old postings from 2003 & 2004 were recovered and posted on this site. Scroll to the bottom of this page and click on "Old News". The same can be done on every subsequent page going backwards.

Some of the posts were pretty funny, such as the first post in 2003 proclaiming an EP with undetermined songs was in he works for 2004, all the way to a post proclaiming WBJ in the Summer of 2006.

Some of the later stuff is funny as the flow of news almost completely shuts down and politics are posted, along with VP's presidential pick for 2004. So take a stroll down memory lane and enjoy.

Update April 9, 2007

Visit the first ever Vision Patch website by clicking here. Brief memo, back in 1997 AOL allowed their users to have a one page website. By creating a screen name on AOL, Vision Patch were baptized on the World Wide Web. Since neither eD or Bobby D. knew of Photoshop, a crude banner was made. The banner featured eD’s grandmother, Noni, who with her no nonsense attitude and penchant for feeding anyone in her site anything that she had laying around, inspired the song “Noni’s Cookies”. The banner was crudely made in Paint Brush on a Packard Bell running Windows 95 with a 75 Mhz Pentium 1 Processor and a 1 gig hard drive.

Also featured on the page is a concept album cover and .wav file clips of four songs. The clip of the song “Heresay” actually never made it to “The Epoch” demo. Since everyone back then was on a dialup, most running modems under 56K, a warning of a 3-5 minute download was posted. Remember, this predates Napster and the idea of MP3’s as a file format.

Update April 8, 2007

Vision Patch has officially broken up and the history is posted below. Many MP3's chronicling their history are still posted on this site. As a tribute, this site has been left mostly as it was during the height of their activity in 2003. You can find MP3’s of albums and demos in the SONGS section. Live MP3’s of their shows can be found in the PAST SHOWS section. By clicking on the flier of each show you will be shown the set list of that night and live recordings of that show.

As time has passed since the disbandment of Vision Patch, many of the links in the LINKS section have died too. Although broken, they remain to accurately portray the music scene in the summer of 2003.

Vision Patch still lives at www.myspace.com/visionpatch. Leave a message of memories from past shows or interactions with band members. The email links on the contact page no longer work, but remain as a tribute.

Updates will be made periodically, as live videos and rare MP3’s will be uploaded.
