About

Vampire Sex Chain lit up the 1980s underground with their explosive mix of pop hooks and gothic flair. Fierce, stylish, and completely out of step with the mainstream, they quickly carved a cult following with a sound that felt both haunting and dangerously catchy.

The lineup:
David Lashmar (Zeptae) – vocals/guitar
Calvin Hager – guitar
Daniel Wintermans – bass
Cindy LeMaitre – drums

Their lone self-titled album, recorded at Crystal Turtle Studios in Hamilton, Canada, hit the top of college radio charts almost overnight, spreading fast across North America and beyond. Teenagers in far corners of the globe were soon trading copies like contraband -- quite a feet since this was before the existence of the Internet!

Just as major labels came knocking, internal tensions over the band’s direction brought things to a sudden halt. They disbanded in 1990.

In 2005, Lashmar remastered the album, giving new life to a record that had already become something of a whispered legend.

Though Vampire Sex Chain burned out fast, the shockwaves of their sound can still be felt in the DNA of modern alternative music.
