| 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. |

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... |

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. |
