Victor Villarreal
Victor Villarreal is an emo and indie rock guitarist from Chicago , Illinois and has been involved in a number of influential band projects.
Career
As a teenager, Victor Villarreal was already a member of Cap'n Jazz , an emo band from which some later music greats of the Chicago emo scene emerged, such as B. the brothers Tim Kinsella and Mike Kinsella , Davey von Bohlen and Sam Zurick . After Cap'n Jazz was dissolved in 1995, Villarreal played at Flashlight . The band's recordings were released under the title Poetry Class '96 . In 1999 Villarreal founded the instrumental band Ghosts and Vodka together with Sam Zurick, Erik Bocek and Scott Shellhammer . In 2001 Tim and Mike Kinsella tried to revive the original Cap'n Jazz formation under the new band name Owls . Victor Villarreal and Sam Zurick then left Ghosts and Vodka and joined Owls. In 2001 a long player was released. The band broke up in 2002 due to disagreements and Villarreal's drug problems. In 2003 Victor Villarreal started the Noyes project together with Ryan Rapsys as singer and drummer and brought out an EP of the same name. In the years that followed, Villarreal seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth. Only in 2009 there was another sign of life from him in the form of a CD with the telling title Alive . The songs were all composed, orchestrated and sung by himself.
