Biography
Verbal Abuse is a hardcore punk band, originally from Houston, but which became successful after moving to San Francisco.
Verbal Abuse was started in Houston in 1981 after singer and songwriter
Nicki Sicki quit the band Sick Pleasure and moved to Virginia, then back
to Texas when he decided he wanted to start another band.
At the time, not many bands were playing fast hardcore in Texas and,
like D.R.I. and M.D.C. before them, Verbal Abuse relocated to San
Francisco in the end of 1981.
In San Francisco, Verbal Abuse lived at the infamous "Vats" along with
members of The Dicks and M.D.C. as well as Harley Flanagan from the
Cro-Mags. By the end of the year, they had signed with Fowl Records and
recorded their first LP, Just an American Band, which was released in
the beginning of 1983.
The band then embarked on a tour to promote their first album, but Brett
Dodwell soon left Verbal Abuse to join the army, so Sicki asked former
Sick Pleasure bandmate Dave "Koko" Chavez to take his place. However,
hardcore was starting to wane in popularity and crossover thrash was the
"big thing" in the mid-'80s so Nicki quit the band in 1984. Since
remaining members Chavez, Joie Mastrokalos, and Gregg James wanted to
continue making music, they asked Condemned to Death singer Scotty
Wilkins to sing.
1985 Was the recording and release of San Francisco's theme album V.A.
Rocks Your Liver, which was released on Boner Records. Tons of touring
was done in that year and well into the late 80's all over the USA and
Canada.
The band continued to tour but Mastrokalos eventually left to join
another band in 1987, being replaced by Andy Schuman. James also left
for family reasons a bit later, being replaced by former Condemned to
Death drummer Mike Chubka who left that same year.
In 1989, Chris Kontos joined after James was unable to make the European
tour. Verbal Abuse was asked to take M.D.C.'s place because they were
unable to make the trip. Destiny Records booked 38 shows in 42 days. At
the end of that tour Destiny asked if they would record a live
recording. Out of that came Passport - Verbal Abuse of America. The
label brought the band back to Europe in 1990 to tour in support of the
live record. They recorded another album entitled Red, White and
Violent, released in 1995 on Century Media Records. They toured for this
record and split about a year later as Scotty joined Electric
Frankenstein.
Joie Mastrokalos resurfaced playing guitar for his good friend Duff
McKagan's band in 1993 and 1994. He contributed on Duff's solo album
Believe in Me and the following solo tours that ensued.
In 1996, the band received recognition and newfound interest when thrash
metal legends Slayer covered five of their songs on their Undisputed
Attitude record. The songs covered are "Disintegration", "Free Money",
"Verbal Abuse", "Leeches" and "I Hate You".
Nicki Sicki, having been released from prison, and with money from the
Slayer album royalties, brought the band back together in the 21st
century, now with Sicki back on vocals, ED Loco and Bubba Dennis(now in
Pasadena Napalm Division with Kurt Brecht of DRI)on guitar, and Nick
Nobody on bass, as well as Ed Jr on Drums. This version of the band
toured the east coast and some west coast shows as well as headlining
the BOB Fest in 2005 in Oakland, CA. The band relocated back to Oakland
once again and this line up returned to Texas. Andy Schuman and Jess
Aaron on second guitar joined the band with original bass player Dave
Chavez, and Geza Szent-Galy on drums. Andy Schuman and Jess Aaron have
since left the band. Guitar duties are now handled by Luke Skeels,
formerly of The Boneless Ones, and Hell's Kitchen. The band's first LP
was re-released on CD with extra tracks in 2002.
