│release notes.
Brand new instrumental 3 tracker on 10 inch vinyl here and download
(right) offering the first tantalising taste of the new VTQ album.
THE VTQ (as they are sometimes known) are a London band whose
unique sound skillfully blends the flavor of old ska 45s, lounge
and exotica with a wry sense of humor and contemporary dance floor
beats. The result is somehow much more modern than the sum of its
parts might imply and has earned them a fast growing reputation and
a cult following.
Formed in 2004 by producer, record collector and multi
instrumentalist, Paul Thorpe, the bands first tracks were made
freely available on the net as supposedly 'rediscovered' originals.
The joke soon backfired however when they became immensely popular
in their own right as each one clocked up thousands of downloads.
The newly formed Freshly Squeezed took note and duly signed Paul
for the bands self-titled debut album in 2005.
An all-live 8- piece band, half of which consisted of brass
section, were subsequently kitted out in white shirts, skinny black
ties, matching black suits and red fezzes to spread The VTQ
message. Dates swiftly followed through 2006 at clubs and festivals
across Europe. This culminated in near disaster when their summer
single, Medium Wave, almost blew their cult credentials by skimming
the fringes of the official UK download charts! It missed by a
couple of places and the band enjoyed a collective sigh of relief
at remaining a carefully kept underground secret. For the moment at
least...
The Voodoo Trombone Quartet continue to win fans with their superb
live shows at the best UK clubs and festivals including Bestival,
Glastonbury, The Brighton Festival Speigeltent, Pussy Parlure, Lost
Vagueness and many more. Their music is also featured in hit shows
like Ugly Betty and Medium Wave has recently been the theme to
MTV's new series The Paper.
ôFor a band that started as an internet message board fantasy, then
became a couple of jokey mp3 bootlegs to have progressed as far as
an album could be seen as a step too far. Your worries would be
ill-founded though, because The Voodoo Trombone Quartet have taken
their concept and run with it to produce a superb collection of
lounge-funk-ska tunes you'd be mad not to like.ö *****Amazon
ôThe Lost Vagueness ballroom is a trippy mirage... the perfect
venue should you wish to see fez-topped musicians making joyful
whoopee with brass and guitars... The band serve up slice after
slice of tight, bouncy happiness with occasional skank. To get a
sober and welly-booted crowd dancing is no mean feat but they pull
it off... Stomping good fun to open the festival.ö
