"The duo released the terrific "Stance" earlier this year, and this Hexagon show marks the release of a new 6-song EP, which proves that the highly entertaining debut was no fluke."--The Onion AV Club
"They have chops, and a unique sampling style, too. It's safe to say they're the only ones around dabbling in Spoon licks while simultaneously attempting the Worm. In the audience, on the stage, to each other, on the floor -- you can't take your eyes off them, only because they won't let you."--Sally Franson, The Daily (Madison, WI)
"Their 2007 debut record 'Stance'... was a joyously defiant, resolutely unserious, Technicolor album." --Steve MCPherson, City Pages
"You'd be hard pressed to find a band that seems to be having as much fun as MC/VL." --The Onion AV Club
Review of "Stance" from Pulse Magazine-- "On Stance, the pop culture references come fast and hard: Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Robin Yount? Check. Mary Todd Lincoln. Yup. And how many bands can boast back-to-back tracks that share titles with great works of fiction ("Moby Dick" and "Ulysses")? …therein lies MC/VL's particular kind of genius, one which it shares with the Beasties: an ability to straddle the line between booty-moving and intellectual stimulation. Like Girl Talk's Night Ripper mix from last year, half the pleasure comes from tracing the lineage of the samples (listen for Tegan and Sara) and the other half comes from blasting it out of your car stereo. MC/VL have no illusions about their originality, and that makes all the difference. Immature artists copy, mature artists steal."

If you're around on Thursday, December 10th, we are playing a show at Mario's Keller Bar. I don't know if you've been there, but it's a very cool place. It's a comfortable space, the room sounds great and they have a stellar beer selection.
Also, we will be playing ALL NIGHT! We'll play some funky, bluesy, and soulful music. We'll project live video onto a 9 ft screen. We'll play some older material that hasn't been heard in awhile, as well as some brand new songs that've never been heard. All bets are off!! We'd love it if you'd come down and listen/party with us!
