Side projects, equipment, bands we like, groups and networks, all at the touch of a button. Updated regularly.
Somewhere out there it's happy hour and someone's crying into their beer. Country and Western with one foot on the bar rail and the other in the grave. Semi-regular Wednesdays at Lee's and on demand elsewhere. (W.E. Keefe plays bass most of the time) When you absolutely, positively need the world to hear that slightly sharp b-string, or that catch of phlegm in your throat, or your muttered curses at the drummer...Electro-Voice Professional Audio Equipment, the professionals' choice. (Proud sponsors of the Vibro Champs, so far) Dave, Al, Kari and Julia: Just four ordinary kids from an ordinary midwestern town with an extraordinary dream: Play Patsy Cline songs really effin' fast. Well, they did it. Heaps o' Fun! Check 'em out! (Featuring Dave Wolfe and Alan Subola from the VCs) Sometimes you want to go where nobody knows your name and nobody cares. And listen and dance to the best roots music in the upper midwest. As featured in Elle magazine around the turn of the century, funnily enough.
Rockabilly Central, the old gray lady of the 'billy web world. Links to a million billion bands, some you might have heard of, and other sites of interest for those who think the world ended when those long-hairs got off the jet at JFK in '64. Kii Arens. Really good graphic designer (did our UltraModern package.) Phenomenal songwriter, fantastic guitartist. Nice guy. Bald. Reviews of shows here in the Twin Cities and elsewhere. Ever wonder how Dave Wolfe gets his guitar to sound like that? Wonder no more...
 
Linked to throughout this site, the great Steve Wolf, the official photographer of the Vibro Champs LLC One of the infamous "Cold Cold River Boys," (We could always depend on those guys for a beery demand for that track from our first album whenever a quiet moment came up onstage between songs ) Jeremy Frye is a cool graphic designer down in the Windy City. And to think we helped make him what he is today! The Fendermen scored a massive hit in 1960 with their barnstorming version of Jimmy Rogers' Muleskinner Blues. (which the VCs gladly purloined for their own purposes in the 90s.) Jim Sundquist, one of the original duo, guested on our "Ultra Modern" cd and the Fendermen still play out almost every weekend. Check 'em out.
