In 1988, VON consisted of three founding members based in San Francisco, California: Von aka Goat (vox/guitar), Venien (bass), and Vennt aka Snake (drums). In 1991, VON members changed their names to Goat, Snake, and added Kill (bass). VON disbanded in 1992, with no releases planned, and a box full of demos in circulation during 90-92, that was the last anyone had seen VON or its members.

In 2009, Venien formed the independent record label Von Music Group, while working closely in association with Goat to handle all materials and matters to do with VON under the company, VON Properties L.L.C.

In 2010, under Von Music Group (VMG), Venien formed the project VON VENIEN, and began recordings and development of his new album to be released later that year. While independently (not under the label VMG), Goat had already been hard at work with his VON GOAT album. Both creators of VON are currently working on their projects and will both release more information as it develops, including all related matters to do with VON.

June 5th 2010 marks the official gathering of VON in London England @ the Armageddon Festival. Current VON line-up includes: S. von "Black Cactus" GOat, Von Venien, J. Giblet G., and Blood.
