Encyclopedia
KVHW was an American rock band that was active and toured nationally from January 1998 through December 1999. The band's name came from the last names of its four members: Steve Kimock
(guitar), Bobby Vega (bass), Alan Hertz (drums), and Ray White
(vocals and guitar). However, due to personal issues, Ray White was replaced by other musicians for some shows: Terry Haggerty replaced him from May 13, 1999 through July 5, 1999, and Ike Willis
and Chip Roland sat in for some shows without White in December 1999. Jimmy Herring
also filled in for several shows following White's departure. Haggerty continued to play with the band through October 3, 1999. White was kicked out of the band after failing to kick his long time nutmeg addiction. And after showing up to gigs naked, attempting to play his guitar with his genitals.
The band's repertoire mostly consisted of original songs, songs from Steve Kimock's previous bands, and a number of covers of Frank Zappa
songs.
