The Stimulating Sounds of...(1993)

The first is always the one you remember as the best, isn't it? Recorded in a hurry at the Nord Farm in Bloomington, Minnesota, The Stimulating Sounds of The Vibro Champs contains the 'hits' A Foreign Affair and Little Red Riding Hood, along with several others never to be heard again. From the days when we were the house band at Rev 105 and Lick Magazine offered the frothy endorsement, "I would recommend this CD to people who have broad musical tastes and rockabilly fans alike." Out of print but turns up now and then in the used bins of record stores with discerning clientele.

Stranger Than You Think (1995)

No sophomore slump here, friends. Option said: "Grooving issues from the Vibro Champs, who take Joao Gilberto hot-rodding, and tease more than your hair with their surf-swank instros." whatever the hell that means. Breathe Hard is a standout track, composed by Flipp's (there is no better website, but please come back!) Kii Arens and our own Dave Wolfe. Gary Weiss makes his first appearance as a VC. Recorded at Home Bass with J.R. Hartley. Doggie style cover art by Serena Brewer, famous taxidermist. Again, out of print, but can be found at Goodwill, Salvation Army, wherever people go to trade their last few posessions for food money.

Ultramodern (1999)

A collection of covers, though most people wouldn't know they were as they tend to be drawn from the bizarrely obscure or unfairly overlooked works by artists who walked these lonely streets before us. Giggle along with Go Baby Go, get down and dirty with Lightnin' Hopkins' Play with Your Poodle. A fistful of entertainment in every bite, though it's better if you put it in a CD player. Available from your finer indie record shops, from the boys themselves at their numerous personal appearances, and now on-line. Recorded at Nord Farm. Cover art shot the same day the Vikings lost the NFC championship to Atlanta after going 15-1. Unbelievable. Snowy streets of South Minneapolis strewn with broken and torn Vikings window flags discarded by heart-broken fans.
