Introducing: MASC!
Hello and Welcome!
Tony (Anthony), Sam (Mark Samuel) and Chuck (Charles) Vincent are brothers who grew up on the Oregon coast. They made their debut, after a drive to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where their bass player and friend Mark Looper was living. During a phone call with Mark's sister, Mark made the mistake of promising play at a local Battle Of The Bands, if she came to pick him up from Wyomng. That night, (well, and the next morning) Tony, Chuck and Arlene drove from the Oregon coast to Jackson Hole, and surprised Mark.
MASC did not win the Battle Of The Bands that year, but they did the next, and as first prize, recorded several songs at a local recording studio (Tioga Studios). They began playing at weddings, parties, local clubs, and then became a “house band” for a club in Coquille Oregon and later Reno, Nevada. They found their booking agent, Ed Yancy, in NV and hit the road and did not stop.
On the road, the band played some outdoor events, including a warm up for “The Coasters” at the Coos County Speedway and some larger events such as Peabody’s in Cour de Alene, Idaho and the WOW Hall in Eugene, Oregon. Many gigs were just playing nights in bars and clubs throughout the northwest, six or seven days a week.
Many gigs later, the band has retired from touring. However, MASC wrote extensively while touring and afterwards. Many of their songs had never been professionally recorded.
We began to wonder what those early songs would sound like if they were recorded and produced in a professional studio by a professional producer.
It turns out - AMAZING thanks to producer and former music recording star Jason Wyatt.
Expect an album or two.
