Vincent D’Onofrio Shares Second Spoken Word Punk Song
Last month, Riffyou.com became haunted, yet oddly fascinated by Vincent D’Onofrio making the 
revelation that he was putting out a spoken word, punk rock album under the guise of Slim Bone Head Volt.
While the first song we were introduced to was the bizarre and in-your-face “I’m a Hamster,” this new song, “Blanche,” is far more controlled and offers with it a myriad of revealing depth.
Delivers D’Onofrio “No matter how hard I try, my acting career will never be completely fulfilled / I will never play the role I was meant to play, born to play, conceived to play / I will never experience my true sexuality onstage, my true, real self on film / Even though, if I may say, everything in my life and career has been leading up to this point, it will never happen / The public will never see my Blanche DuBois.”
For those curious, Blanche DuBois is a character from the Tennessee Williams play, A Streetcar Named Desire.
“Behind her veneer of social snobbery and sexual propriety, Blanche is deeply insecure, an aging Southern belle who lives in a state of perpetual panic about her fading beauty,” reads a character description found upon Wikipedia. “Her manner is dainty and frail, and she sports a wardrobe of showy but cheap evening clothes, as indicated in the stage directions for Scene 10: “She had decked herself out in a somewhat soiled and crumpled white satin evening gown and a pair of scuffed silver slippers with brilliants set in their heels.”
Slim Bone Head Volt will release their debut album, Vol. 1, on March 3 through Buddhahug Records.
