Born and raised in Hollywood, California, Marc Vachon has enjoyed a life of creativity and inspiration as only someone growing up in the shadow of the Hollywood sign can. Before he was old enough to drive, he explored the city on his own and immersed himself in the culture and influence of the City of Angels. As a musician and artist, he has been lucky to merge the two greatest influences in his life, music and art to create an original voice in the world of Rock and Roll.
In 1981, Vachon's first band, Mad Society released a 5 song EP that featured photography by renowned Los Angeles photojournalist Gary Leonard. They also contributed to a variety of compilations that encapsulated the burgeoning punk rock scene. They opened for such punk legends as BLACK FLAG, CIRCLE JERKS, X, THE GEARS, THE WEIRDOS and THE PLUGZ! Mad Society vinyl is highly collectible! Their style, accomplishments and fearless attitude was astonishing at a time when most kids their age were still home watching CHiPs. They were together a whopping 11 months. Marc was 13.
Vachon feels extremely lucky to have been able to see some of the most influential bands in person at such a young age and absorb the energy from amazing performances by artists like The Germs, Bad Brains, Ramones, X, The Circle Jerks and Black Flag to name a few. He really believes it was his involvement in the L.A. punk scene that has inspired his work as an artist and musician due to the fact that the main credo of the scene was "Do It Yourself". He has a unique perspective as a designer since he not only watched from the sidelines as history was being made, but was actually part of the process himself by learning so much by being in the company of many L.A. punk legends.
Upon entering his late teens, Vachon had moved on to other musical projects founding a band that would later go on to share the stage with bands as diverse and legendary as GUNS N' ROSES, THE DAMNED, JANE'S ADDICTION, and MOTORHEAD. His band was FUNHOUSE and they totally crystalized the Southern California skater lifestyle evidenced by their love of skateboarding, rock and roll and punk influences. In a word, they dressed like bad*sses.
