About the Victoria Lucas: "...dang if we're not impressed with the Victoria Lucas' new work. Replete with horns, interlocking vocals and a beautiful drone, it conjures warm memories of Brian Eno's pop albums, the Talking Heads and even bits of country-pop. We're eager to hear more." (Time Out NY, November 2004)
"Blending refreshingly pre-Pavement garage rock with happy-go-punky chord changes, the young band takes nods from Westerberg and the Wedding Present as opposed to most other newbies who stubbornly insist on riding that Gang of Four bandwagon till it peters to a halt." VILLAGE VOICE, 2003
"... a pop-heavy bunch of indie songwriters, audiophiles and beer guzzlers who make "catchy" and "caustic" go together quite nicely." PULP, Aug. 2003
"...effortlessly catchy (like the Pixies at their most endearing) with lyrics that jump off the record and dare you not to be intrigued." PITTSBURGH POST GAZETTE, Aug. 2003
"...a good example of what can happen when you stick a bunch of art school students in loft apartments in the same neighborhood. The ideas get passed around faster than the drugs do. People experiment and work hard. Sometimes you end up with something good, like Oneida or The Victoria Lucas." JOHNS HOPKINS NEWSLETTER, Mar. 2004
"...equally indebted to the Velvet Underground and "Will the Circle Be Unbroken?" PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE, Mar. 2005

yo how things going? your myspace is looking nice! but anyways, i just found some awesome new tones off www.singingcell.info for FREE! they have the coolest selection!
Hey The Victoria Lucas, how are you? If you got a minute, we pulled over some new things fo you. We have this video up on our page that inspired the song we sing with it. The dance is pretty unreal, and worth seeing. Also, we now have an illustrated novella for sale. It comes with the album if you order it. It's a dark story, but there's some fire in it too. We think you'll like it.
Stop over if you get the chance, and if you like what we give for free, buy a copy of the album and novella. It would help us. Hope you're doing well out there.
I had no idea that the pep boys were so bad ass, it almost makes me want to take a road trip... Actually, there's this college house party that wants you to play-- i'm sure you would love that...
