He has recorded two studio and four live albums with The Mission including the critically acclaimed God is a Bullet,[1] as well as two with The One and one with Helter Skelter. He was also appeared as a guest musician on The Dead Guitars album Flags, in 2008. Early lifeRichard Vernon was born in Chichester, England, and relocated with his family to London until the age of two when his family returned to their native Wales. His first musical instrument was a six-string guitar, followed by a brief dalliance with the drums, and finally bass guitar. Early careerAt the age of 20, Vernon left his home in Wales and moved to London, starting his musical career as a session player in a number of bands including Eddie and the Hot Rods. Over his career, he has played with musicians from The Kinks, Squeeze, The Adventures, The Charlatans, The Waterboys, The Monochrome Set, The Pink Fairies, The Wonder Stuff, The Pretenders, The Damned and many others. A change of pace saw him playing for UK agitpop band A Popular History of Signs on various European tours. Soon thereafter he co-founded Rough Trade and Island Records act Helter Skelter. They recorded a critically acclaimed album and garnered a single of the week award from Melody Maker. They toured Europe to support the album and recorded two BBC Radio 1 sessions, but a combination of limited success and struggles after PolyGram took over of Island Records saw them split shortly after. The OneVernon then joined Peter Perrett's group The One. The band made two studio albums and one live album as well as extensively touring around the UK, France, Spain, Germany, Holland, Belgium and Japan. Their critically acclaimed Woke Up Sticky album received enthusiastic reviews from The Guardian and Daily Telegraph. With equally good reviews for their live shows, the band promised much but after a busy and productive five-year period they drifted apart. Perrett's biographer, Nina Antonia in her book Homme Fatale,[2] puts this down to Perrett's increasingly erratic behaviour, whilst other band members have been quoted that the band had just run its course. The MissionFollowing a call from Perrett's tour manager, Vernon was asked to join The Mission[3][4] as replacement for departing founder member Craig Adams.[5] During his tenure with the band, Vernon recorded two studio albums (God is a Bullet[6] and Dumb Dumb Bullet).[7][8][9][10][11] God is a Bullet charted in the UK Top 30 Independent Label Album Chart and UK Top 40 Rock Album Chart. The first single, "Keep it in the Family", charted at number 7 in the BBC 1 Rock Chart.[12] The band also recorded a live album from London's Shepherd's Bush Empire over four consecutive sold out nights,[13][14][15][16][17] which was billed as the last Mission shows for the foreseeable future. Vernon also recorded two live DVDs with the band as well as touring all over the UK, Europe, America, Canada and South Africa.[18] He also contributed towards the Mission biography, At War with the Gods, published in 2015. Post-MissionAfter leaving The Mission, Vernon decided to spend more time co-writing music and record production, and to focus on his family. He still found time to play live shows, including some with UK band, The Sentimentalists,[19] including an appearance at the Glastonbury Festival in 2015.[20] In November 2016, Vernon replaced Robbie Crane in Ricky Warwick's band The Fighting Hearts for a UK tour, supported by Vice Squad.[21] Vernon joined MGT on tour[22] for an March 2018 US tour[23] to promote their album "Gemini Nyte[24]". The band included ex-Mission UK mate, Mark Gemini Thwaite, along with Ashton Nyte and Jared Shavelson; their performances met an extremely positive response.[25] EquipmentVernon plays bass guitar, guitar and occasionally, drums. Key to his signature bass sound is the use of vintage Fender basses and Trace Elliot backline. Personal lifeHe lives in a converted chapel in North Wales with his Japanese wife, their two children, and his father.
